Features: China's modernization process began in the late late Qing Dynasty. As China's modernization is of the "late-developing, externally-driven" type, various social conflicts and contradictions are particularly intense. This book analyzes the shocks and conflicts on China's modernization path from aspects such as the rise of anti-traditional thought in the late late Qing Dynasty, rural unrest, debates over industrialization, and the spread of secret societies. It also provides an in-depth analysis of the thoughts and society during China's early modernization process. The book is divided into 7 chapters, with "shocks and conflicts" as the theme, and conducts an in-depth study of the thoughts and society during China's early modernization process from aspects such as the rise of anti-traditional thought, rural unrest, the spread of secret societies and the "secret society culture" of modern China, debates over industrialization, from "Westernization" to total Westernization, and the "Neo-Confucian Compilation" thought.
