The negative historical role of Westernization Movement;

First, the Westernization School tried to use some advantages of western capitalism to maintain feudal autocracy without touching the decadent feudal system. The contradiction between this means and the foundation makes the Westernization Movement doomed to be impossible. At the same time, the Westernization Movement was obstructed and destroyed by die-hards all over the country, which increased the resistance to the development of the Westernization Movement.

Second, the class limitations of the Westernization School itself determine that they are not only the founders and operators of modern industry, but also their destroyers and destroyers. Their feudal yamen and bureaucratic system will inevitably lead to the failure of westernization enterprises.

Third, one of the purposes of the Westernization Movement is to resist foreign aggression. However, when conducting diplomatic activities, the Westernization School insisted on "harmony without difference" and surrendered to the outside world. The modern enterprises they founded have the function of resisting foreign aggression and "foreigners with meager profits", but they cannot change the semi-colonial and semi-feudal social status of China. In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the goals of "seeking strength" and "seeking wealth" advertised by the Westernization School failed to be realized, and the Westernization Movement basically failed.
