On the Westernization Movement from the Difference between Chinese and Foreigners

During the Westernization Movement, the theory of "Chinese style and westernization" played a progressive historical role, which was manifested in the following aspects: breaking through the traditional "distinction between Chinese and foreigners" and realizing the transformation from "contempt" to "learning from foreigners"; Breaking through the concept of ignorance and contempt for western learning, it began to change to the concept of introducing western learning and attaching importance to western learning; As the ideological line of the Westernization Movement, it cleared the ideological obstacles for the Westernization Movement and opened the way for the Westernization Movement to open a modern industrialized mode of production. However, the purpose of "Chinese style and western style" is to consolidate the "style" of feudal rule, so it contains a negative and backward side from the beginning of its context. With the deepening of the introduction of western learning, its reasonable demands have been gradually dispelled, and its progressive role has gradually lost, which has increasingly become a resistance and obstacle to historical progress.
