Research On The Change Of Thought Of Wei Yuan State Governance

Before and after the Opium War,the internal and external difficulties and blind arrogance of the Qing government were in sharp contrast with the arrogance and arbitrariness of the Western powers.The failure of the Opium War promoted Wei Yuan’s ideological turn and strengthened Wei Yuan’s determination to demand change.Wei Yuan realized that in order to make China embark on the road of independence,prosperity and prosperity,and to get rid of the predicament of being invaded and threatened by the West,it must be realized through national governance: to reform the maladministration of internal reform and to learn from the West the advanced points of its civilization.He is sensitive to the "thousands of years have not changed" is approaching,so must achieve the "ancient micro" to "Shi Yi" turn.Under the enlightenment of this thought,Wei Yuan’s thought of change broke through the traditional idea of Yi Xia,criticized the policy of "closing the door to the outside world ",put forward the concrete idea of " teacher Yi long skill to control Yi ",and had an important influence on the historical development since then.This paper discusses the forming process of Wei Yuan’s thought of national governance reform from the aspects of academic,style of study and background of the times.Wei Yuan from a young mature reading poetry,taught by many,deeply influenced by Huxiang,Jiangsu and Zhejiang academic atmosphere.In his later years,he still devoted himself to political construction under the influence of practical style of study.But at this time,the qing dynasty faced with the domestic and international dual dilemma: the decay of the qing government made all kinds of contradictions increasingly revealed,the qing dynasty’s ruling foundation was increasingly shaken;the international world pattern was earth-shaking,the qing dynasty’s chinese status had been overthrown,the western powers began to rise rapidly and opened the road of aggression and expansion.Wei Yuan realized that under the difficult situation of internal and external troubles,the ancient classics which he had studied before could no longer solve the problems of the country.For this reason,Wei Yuan began to study the modern classics which could solve the real political problems,serve the political practice of ideological theory and serve the governance of the country.Wei Yuan believes that the reform should be top-down,comprehensive and systematic,first of all,from the people’s ideas and ideas to start to change,to eliminate the decadent and backward cultural malpractices.Under this special historical background,Wei Yuan’s thought of national governance reform has set the tone for the reform of Qing Dynastysince then.Both "Westernization Movement" and "Reform Reform Reform" take Wei Yuan’s thought of change as the bottom line and then extend their own reform path,which plays a theoretical guiding and practical role in emulation.At the same time,Wei Yuan’s thought of national governance reform is of great theoretical significance to the Meiji Restoration in Japan.Although Wei Yuan’s thought,as an important figure in the civilized atmosphere of the late Qing Dynasty,still inevitably has the characteristics of the times solidified,the national governance reform proposition he put forward on the basis of adhering to the rule of the Qing Dynasty still failed to eliminate its internalization of the foreign ideas,but only one-sided imitation of the western lack of innovative ideas in line with the Qing Dynasty’s national conditions.It’s just trying to fix it by branching out.
