Abstract

As the earliest modernization movement to learn from Western countries in modern China, the Westernization Movement had a far-reaching impact. Inspired by the reviewers, four topics will be discussed here. First, the development of economic thought, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship was ignited by the Westernization Movement. In specific, the Westernization Movement re-established the traditional Silk Road, which had been designed to promote trade between Asia and Europe, and meanwhile advanced the great development of the commodity economy since the Southern Song Dynasty. Second, the connection among the 1860 Westernization Movement and the 1978 Reforms and Opening-up. Third, the restrictions on the further development of China’s economic thought. Fourthly, the rise of the Chinese merchant class and the transformation of ideology accompanied by the Westernization Movement.
