一百多年前,洋务派提出“中学为体,西学为用”(即“中体西用”)的口号,作为推行洋务运动的指导思想。对这个口号,史学界长期以来予以否定。七十年代末以后虽有所改变,肯定了这个口号在中国近代曾产生过某些有益的作用,但基本上还是否定的。我们认为,用唯物史观来分析这一口号,它虽然有自己的局限性,但其主流却是好的,它指导下的洋务运动,为我国提供了许多历史上未曾有过的新东西,对这个口号,应该基本肯定。 More than 100 years ago, the Westernization School put forward the slogan of “learning from middle school and using Western culture” (that is, “using Western culture as a vehicle”) as the guiding ideology for the implementation of the Westernization Movement. Historians have long denied this slogan. Although it has changed since the late 1970s, it has been affirmed that this slogan has had some beneficial effects in modern China, but it is basically still negative. We believe that using the historical materialism to analyze this slogan has its own limitations. However, its mainstream is good. The Westernization Movement under its guidance provides many new things our country has never had before. This slogan should be basically certain.
