洋务运动打开了中国发展的大门,它的出现是当时各方力量最终互相平衡的结果,从某种意义上说,洋务运动真正使中国走上了革新的道路。应该说,当时的中国走上洋务运动这条路是唯一的选择,既不可能有更过激的变革行为,也不可能继续保守。 The Westernization Movement opened the door to China’s development. Its appearance was the result of the final balance of power between the various parties at that time. In a sense, the Westernization Movement really brought China onto the path of reform. It should be said that when China was on the path of the Westernization Movement, it was the only option that could neither exacerbate radical changes nor continue to be conservative.
