The slogan in the early stage was "self-improvement" (because the failure of the two Opium Wars made Westernization officials feel that they must be self-improvement, and this period was mainly to establish military industry)

The slogan of the later period was "seeking wealth" (Westernization School launched the banner of "seeking wealth" in the 1970s from 65438 to 2009 because of lack of funds, with the aim of providing financial resources and funds for the military industry).
