The slogan of Westernization Movement?

The slogan of the Westernization Movement was "self-improvement" in the early stage and "seeking wealth" in the later stage.

The main guiding ideology of the Westernization Movement is the word "middle school as the body, western learning for use". The first four words "learning from foreigners to control foreigners" show the relationship between the Westernization Movement and foreign capitalist aggressors, that is, the way to learn western skills to resist western aggression.

Although the Westernization Movement didn't make China rich and strong for more than 30 years, it introduced advanced western science and technology, which led to the emergence of the first batch of modern enterprises in China and objectively promoted the emergence and development of Chinese national capitalism.

The influence of Westernization Movement:

1. Influence on modern economy: In the process of establishing military industry by Westernization Movement, the most difficult problems are capital, raw materials and transportation. Therefore, after establishing the military industry with the slogan of "self-improvement", the Westernization School began to establish civilian enterprises after the slogan of "seeking wealth", focusing on a series of projects supporting the military industry such as mining, smelting, shipping and railways.

2. Influence on modern politics: The feudal decay of the founder of the Westernization Movement led to the failure of the Westernization Movement, which made other people with lofty ideals see the defects of the Westernization Movement in the process of modernization in China and stimulated the process of modernization in China.

3. Influence on modern culture: Westernization Movement is the beginning of modern education. To launch the Westernization Movement, talents who are proficient in Westernization are needed, but the traditional imperial examination system education in China is far from meeting the demand for talents.
