Learning from the West is the guiding ideology of Westernization School after 65438+ 1960. "Middle school" refers to Confucianism with three cardinal guides and five permanent members as its core, while "Western learning" refers to social sciences such as natural science, business studies and pedagogy introduced into China in modern times. It advocates maintaining the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
The specific methods of natural science, technology, culture and education, such as gun-making, railway construction, mining and wire laying, were adopted to save the ruling crisis.
Functions and limitations of Chinese and western cultures;
There is no doubt that the idea of "Chinese style and western use" has promoted the development of education in China;
1, the introduction of western cultural and educational contents and the initial transformation of traditional education at the institutional level objectively promoted the disintegration of the feudal education system.
2. It broke the pattern of unified education of Confucianism in China and opened the door to the transformation from traditional education to modern education. The imperial examination reform, academy reform, the introduction of new academic system and new teaching methods have become possible. ?
3. However, it is simply the spread of western learning from middle schools to the east, and it is still defending the ethics and morals of middle schools, feudal autocracy and the Three Cardinals and Five Permits, which has become the opposite of bourgeois reformists and hindered the development of the Reform Movement. At the same time, under the domination of this purpose, schools in the late Qing Dynasty were still under the guise of respecting Confucius and reading classics, unable to get rid of the influence of feudal education, and did not involve the transformation of China's cultural tradition and political system.
It shows serious limitations and hinders the transformation from traditional education to modern education.
