鸦片战争前后,道咸经世派针对当时严重的社会道德危机提出了“整肃人心”的思想。这种思想建立在具有唯意志论色彩的“心力论”基础上,具有提倡“个性解放”的因素,同时具有鲜明的道德决定论色彩。这一思想对近代改造国民性思潮有一定的启发意义,但其本质上是属于地主阶级思想体系,不能认为是近代改造国民性思潮的“先导”或“萌芽”。 Before and after the Opium War, Dawn sent the idea of ​​“purging the hearts of the people” against the then serious social moral crisis. This kind of thinking is based on the theory of perplexity with volitionalism and has the elements of advocating “liberation of personality ” and at the same time it has a distinctive moral determinism. This thought has certain enlightenment significance to the reform of nationalism thoughts in the modern era, but it is essentially the ideological system of the landlord class and can not be regarded as the “precursor” or “sprout” of the nationalistic trend of thoughts in the modern times.
