Li Hongzhang's Historical Banner and the Purpose of Westernization Movement
The banner of Westernization Movement is that Xiang Yang learns to strive for self-improvement, which is divided into two parts: the first part takes self-improvement as the slogan, and the second part takes seeking wealth as the slogan. The classification ideas are "learning from foreigners to control foreigners" and "learning from China and using the West". Its purpose is to maintain feudal rule by introducing western military equipment, machine production and science and technology.
