Who put forward the idea of learning from foreigners and managing foreigners?

"Learning from foreigners to control foreigners" was put forward by Wei Yuan in his "Chart Records", which refers to seeking a way to resist the powerful country by learning advanced military technology from the West, and later refers to learning advanced technology from the West to resist the West. This idea shows a brilliant patriotic thought.

China was deeply invaded and oppressed by western countries in the late Qing Dynasty, and the proposal of "learning from foreigners to control foreigners" became the strategic policy of saving the country. Do you know who put it forward? Let me tell you something.

Details 0 1 "Learn from foreigners to control foreigners" was put forward by Wei Yuan in his Atlas of Sea Countries, which refers to seeking ways to resist powerful countries by learning advanced military technology from the West, and then resisting the West by learning advanced technology from the West. This idea shows a brilliant patriotic thought.

02 1842 "Atlas of Sea Countries" came out, and the author Wei Yuan pointed out the purpose of writing this book in the book "The Original Narration": "What is the book for? It means "attack foreigners with foreigners, pay foreigners with foreigners, learn foreigners with foreigners, and control foreigners with foreigners." "

The so-called "learning from foreigners" mainly refers to learning a set of advantages of western capitalist countries in military technology, while "foreigners have three skills: one warship, two firearms and three training methods." Wei Yuan not only advocated buying naval guns from the west, but also emphasized introducing advanced industrial technology from the west and manufacturing naval guns by himself. The so-called "controlling foreigners" means resisting aggression and defeating the enemy. In this proposition, learning from foreigners is the means and controlling foreigners is the purpose.

Through the proposition of "learning from foreigners to control foreigners", Wei Yuan definitely raised whether to learn from the "skills" of western countries to the height of defeating foreign invaders. He stressed that those who are not good at learning from foreigners should be controlled by foreigners. This thought shows brilliant patriotism, and puts forward a new task of "learning from the West" to the people of China who are undergoing great changes. This thought later became the ideological source of learning from the West and occupied a very important position in the history of China's modern thought. In a practical sense, it was the forerunner of the Westernization Movement, even the Reform Movement and the Revolution of 1911.
