Evaluation: "Preserving the quintessence of Chinese culture"-65438+In the 1960s, the Westernization School advocated "taking middle school as the body and western learning as the application", that is, it advocated learning only western science and technology, while retaining China's inherent political system and Confucian ideology and culture. Ideologically and culturally, it belongs to "preserving the quintessence of the country". This thought of Westernization School promoted the study of western science and technology to a certain extent, promoted the Westernization Movement, and thus promoted the process of industrialization in China.

The proposal of the new culture movement shook the dominant position of Confucianism, dealt a heavy blow to the feudal autocratic system and played a role in liberating social thoughts. However, this view has serious national nihilism and blind worship of western culture.
