于荫霖与徐桐、李秉衡、毓贤等同样,深受儒家经典薰陶,忧国忧民,廉洁奉公,堪称良吏。但也同徐桐、李秉衡、毓贤同样,对已经发生巨变的国际局势并不了解,不懂得文化可以交流,共同进步,认为学习外国长处,就是离经叛道,将亡国灭种。洋人侵略中国,洋人都该杀,将爱国主义变成盲目排外,这种思想将被时代所淘汰。 Yu Yulin and Xu Tong, Li Bingheng, Yu Yin and the like, deeply influenced by the Confucian classics, worry about the people, honesty, be honest. However, Xu Tong, Li Bingheng and Yu Yin also understand the international situation that has undergone great changes. They do not understand that culture can exchange ideas and make progress together. They believe that learning the strengths of other countries means that they will deviate from their antecedents and destroy their country. If foreigners invaded China and foreigners were to be killed, they would blindly exclude patriotism and this idea would be eliminated by the times.
