The Research Of The Doves And The Hawks During The Opium War

The Opium War is one of the most important historical nodes in modern Chinese history.Before the outbreak of the war,the Qing empire because of its cultural heritage of the strong continuity,the endogenous system of continuous circulation and the richness of natural material resources,located in East Asia,closed the front door,and communicated with complaisant countries around it,gradually formed a relatively stable and narrow international circle of communication.In 1840 s,the United Kingdom brings the unforgettable war to the ancient empire for the large trade gap,opium trading ban,and the un-equivalent status of both.The gun and the boat ruthlessly bombed the heavy and decaying door of the empire,making the whole empire a deep shock and surprise.Compared to the bottom of the public and a small number of elite elements in the social and ideological changes,the upper ruling group is wandering inside the faction under the imperial power.The empire court divide into Doves and Hawks,one advocated fighting directly,the other advocated using some meander acts or policies for avoiding the war.This thesis is defined as the time of the Opium War,the Doves and the Hawks are the subjects.Starting with the background and generation of the two factions,the background line is traced back to the war in depth,extending horizontally to the world,Sorting out the background of the emergence of the two factions from three aspects of thinking,international and domestic.The formation of the two factions is based on certain subjective and objective conditions,and the two factions also have their own process of formation and their respective representative figures.After the formation of the two factions in the Opium War period,A growth and decline relationship or status of two fractions are extincted,the relationship and the existence of the State has its specific reasons,but also reflected in the specific process of the growth and decline of the two factions.And the growth and decline of the two factions is not isolated,more or less has caused a certain impact on later generations..and traced the background lines back before the war,spreading horizontally across the world.During the Opium War,the Doves did not necessarily peddled their country.Their starting point and the logic of their behavior were mostly due to the consideration of safeguarding the national interest;The Hawks’ radical policy of making the Barbarians are just the rashness on some nodes and are irrational.Rational understanding of the two factions is due.Breakthrough in ideology and self-redemption is based on the reflection and inspiration of the research of the two factions: emancipating the mind,advancing with the times,breaking down the drawbacks of traditional cultural ideas,keeping pace with the world,keeping pace with the times,paying attention to the time and peace,diplomacy,and understanding the complex international Relations,establish and strengthen diplomatic relations with many countries,create a good international environment for China’s own development;Only by maintaining internal and external self-sufficiency and self-reliant salvation can we establish an integrated national defense system and national defense concept in order to grow our own strength!...
