Features: During the Westernization wave in the 19th century, when two worlds and two civilizations clashed violently, new ideological concepts emerged among the progressive officials influenced by the West, which were both connected to and distinct from traditional thought. These included ideas like the harmonization of Chinese and Western cultures, the theory of reforming the old by means of the new, the theory of using Chinese institutions with Western techniques, diplomatic thought, and concepts of democratic politics. This book, based on extensive social and historical materials and intellectual history sources, returns to the context of the time, analyzes the mutual impact of intellectual trends and the changes in social and cultural concepts, and paints a realistic and profound picture of late Qing intellectual life. At the same time, it embodies the author's comparative reflection on traditional Chinese thought and modern intellectual trends, offering rich insights. This book is a classic work in the study of modern Chinese intellectual history and is highly regarded by scholars both at home and abroad.
