两次鸦片战争时期,英、美等西方传教士涉足香港和广州、厦门、福州、宁波、上海等东南沿海城镇,传播以基督教为核心的西方文化。他们从传教的目的出发,出版介绍西方文化的图书,创办新式杂志,同时建立了一些近代新型学堂,在古老的中国大地上展示了一种崭新的西方文化,使一批有识之士眼界大开,并产生了新的思想追求。值得注意的是,传教士主观意图是向中国人嫁接他们的宗教文化,而客观效果则与之相反,接受基督教者寥寥无几,倒是那些非常有限的西方科技、教育文化成了先进中国人求之不得的睁眼看世界的精神食粮。 During the Opium War, Western missionaries from Britain, the United States and other Western missionaries engaged in the coastal cities and towns of southeastern China such as Hong Kong and Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai to spread Christian culture as their core. Starting from the missionary mission, they published books introducing Western culture and founded new magazines. At the same time, they established some modern new-style schools and displayed a brand new Western culture on the ancient Chinese land so that a group of people of insight Open, and created a new pursuit of ideas. It is noteworthy that the missionary’s subjective intention is to grafting Chinese to their religious culture, while the objective effect is the opposite. Few Christians are accepted, but rather those very limited Western science and technology, and the educational culture has become an indisputable factor for the advanced Chinese Eyes open to see the world’s spiritual food.
