The influence of Westernization Movement
In today's society, with the development of society, we may have forgotten the last dynasty of the Chinese nation-the Qing Dynasty, but we can't forget the humiliation suffered by the Chinese nation. We tell ourselves again and again that we want to be strong, we want to revive, we want to be strong, and we want the prosperity of international love. 1840 the opium war shocked the Chinese empire, and the powers ran wildly in the closing of the Qing government. In the sleeping China, a few intellectuals began to wake up and gathered under the knowledge of learning advanced western science and technology and ideology and culture. People with different backgrounds and positions have formed a powerful political force-Westernization School. They engaged in research to understand the situation in the west, and put forward the call of imitating the west of France to "learn from foreigners and learn from them to govern them". The British and French allied forces aroused the awakening of a group of people in the ruling and opposition parties, and began to specifically promote the large-scale introduction of advanced western science and technology to avenge national humiliation and set up modern military industry. The central government, represented by Harmony, and the local governments, represented by Zeng Guofan, Zuo and Li Hongzhang, triggered the Westernization Movement for 30 years. I think this movement has had a far-reaching impact on China's politics, economy, ideology, military affairs and diplomacy. First, change the attitude of despising technology. In ancient China, science and technology were at the forefront of the world. However, the rulers of the Qing government have long been sleepy in the dream of "going to heaven and going to earth". The die-hards adhere to the theory of "China culture is supreme" and regard learning from the West as shameful and hateful. Many wise men spend their youth on useless things such as stereotyped writing and poetry. Moreover, feudal rulers regarded science as the most despicable art, so it was not corrupt. Ordinary scholars are obsessed with the way of imperial examination, seeing it as a ladder to climb, but "disdaining" technology. The Westernization School saw from the reality that China was beaten passively and humiliated repeatedly that the important reason was the backwardness of science and technology. The more important contribution of Westernization Movement is that it broke China's traditional cultural concept, so that China people no longer blindly pursue the only ideal of "different people have different opinions" and despise the technology of "strange skills and cunning", laying the foundation and soil of "science". 186 1 year, Wentong Museum was established in Shi Jing, and it was formally established the following year to study foreign languages and astronomical arithmetic and cultivate modern professional and technical personnel. Since then, Westernization Schools have successively established a number of new schools for learning foreign languages and professional knowledge, such as Qiushitang Fine Arts Bureau attached to Fujian Bureau by Zuo Yu 1866 and Tianjin Naval Academy founded by Li Hongzhang on 1880. These schools brought western natural science and industrial technology into the classroom for the first time, thus training the first batch of shipbuilding, navigation, machine building and modern medical talents in China. Since 1970s, the Westernization School first sent overseas students, and then absorbed the nutrition of western science and technology, so as to contribute to the independence and prosperity of the motherland. Zhan Tianyou, a railway engineer, Feng Ru, an airplane designer, and Yan Fu, a representative of the Reformists, are all outstanding international students. After their studies, they played an aboveboard role for the motherland. The westernization school's practice of establishing modern enterprises and introducing western science and technology has also trained a large number of new intellectuals. Modern scientist Hua and chemist Xu Shou grew up in the practice of Westernization. In the era when science and technology are the primary productive forces, this backwardness will inevitably lead to a weak country and poor people. "A weak country has no diplomacy" is the conclusion drawn by China people through painful experience. Therefore, the Westernization Movement made Chinese people realize the importance of science and technology again, and also made a group of patriotic intellectuals actively participate in scientific research in the face of national disaster, making contributions to the independence and prosperity of the motherland! Second, official enterprise's influence on China's economic management in the Westernization Movement. Machinery and equipment were imported from foreign countries, technicians were trained by foreign experts, and top management may be directly dominated by foreign forces, although it is necessary to be free from imperialism in industrial technology, capital and even management. But I think learning from foreigners is bound to go through a process of imitation and speculation. For more than 65,438+000 years, China groped its way into the Chinese-style industrial revolution. Today, with China's accession to the WTO, it will become a manufacturing and processing factory in the world. And we lack management talents, so a group of professional managers who have grown up in foreign companies stand out. In private enterprises, state-owned enterprises and China, they set off a new revolution to internationalize the management of national enterprises-the Westernization Movement in management. It reflects a new trend. There are a group of entrepreneurs in China. They clearly realize that their enterprises can't go on like this and can't compete with foreign companies. They are eager to hire professional managers. As a result, roland berger's chief representatives in Germany, Li Bo and Xia Haining, came to Shandong Inspur Software as CEO and COO with an annual salary of 654.38 million US dollars, which won the respect of Chinese people. During the Westernization Movement, they replaced foreign engineers in many fields, such as domestic warships of Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, which played an indelible role. Most of the straps and chief officers of the new naval vessels are international students. The first railway independently built by China-Jing-Zhang Railway was also designed and built by Zhan Tianyou, a student studying in the United States. However, these drops in the bucket did not change the fate of the decline of the Qing Dynasty. The key lies in not changing the decadent political system and management system. Nowadays, under the slogan of revitalizing China football, some enterprises send China players to practice in foreign clubs, such as Sun Jihai, Li Tie, Yang Chen and Xie Hui. But if they only learn some gestures and don't learn the essence at all, is it still sad? Roland berger's chief representatives, Li Bo and Xia Haining, went to Shandong Langchaotong Software Company as CEO and COO with an annual salary of 654.38 million US dollars. Didn't they fly away in a flash in the pan? The Westernization Movement gave us another enlightenment: the key to success is to input scientific management concepts and management systems!
