" Chinese mordern history " the book that is the main event that relates Chinese recent history to go up by a when Mr Jiang Tingfu writes and its setting. This book is Mr Jiang Tingfu of latter-day to China society think, 1840- - 1925 this paragraph of time, also let me have more knowledge to the people on China earth.
《中国近代史》是由蒋廷黻先生编写的一部讲述中国近代历史上的重要事件及其背景的书。这本书是蒋廷黻先生对中国近代社会的思考，1840年--1925年这段时间，也让我对神州大地上的人民有了更多的了解。
The Chinese government at that time because from of old smallholder economy and too bulgy autocratic monarchy, do not understand what they face England, France to be not the country that is pretty exterminate, western country is taking gent demeanour is not to go to China to come pilgrimage pay intribute, will have trade however. The China in those days, continue to making the fond dream of the country on day day, know Industrial Revolution will bring what kind of change to the mankind far from, and because the emperor treats Magaerni,the Opium War that after this causes is merely very inurbane. After China breaks down till failure of the Opium War and clique of put down exterminate, ability somebody realizes reform is the road of powerful nation.
当时的中国政府由于自古以来的小农经济以及过于膨胀的君主专制，不明白他们所面对英国、法国并非是蛮夷之国，西方国家带着绅士风度并不是到中国来朝拜进贡，而是来进行贸易。那时的中国，继续做着天朝上国的美梦，根本不知道工业革命将给人类带来怎样的变化，而此后引发的鸦片战争仅仅是因为皇帝对待马嘎尔尼十分无礼。中国直到鸦片战争失败及剿夷派崩溃后，才有人意识到改革是强国之路。
Let me experience among them the deepest is forest criterion content of Xu this individual, he is the delegate character of typical Chinese scholar-bureaucrat. The failure of the Opium War follows forest criterion Xu Benren is to having very big concern. When tiger door sells cigarette, forest criterion Xu is one has make a decision very it seems that, have an idea, of one mind guards people for the country and emerge victorious in every battle, the person of invincible. His actually true also awareness arrived is time goes western go on a pilgrimage for Buddhist scriptures, but why doesn't he have the idea him bold and open come out? If rise in those days from him, awareness taxi doctor conveys him, the modernization of that China may early 20 years. Why is he done so? Because be in,write a composition in his heart, his reputation is more important than saving the world. This also is the common fault of Chinese scholar-bureaucrat. I think this has two respects reason, it is scholar-bureaucrat it is recreant and cowardly originally, dare not speak truth, the big setting that is emperor and official circles on the other hand very solidify, and commonly used person is undeserved when the emperor, make scholar-bureaucrat people not dare character also not dare anger. So I think present ruler ought to listen to the opinion of all directions more, make true aspiring bright phearl a mind which perceives both past and future help China progress all the time.
其中让我感受最深的是林则徐这个人物，他是典型的中国士大夫的代表人物。鸦片战争的失败跟林则徐本人是有着很大关系的。在虎门销烟时，林则徐看起来是一个十分有决断，有思想，一心为国保卫人民且百战百胜，战无不胜的人。其实他也真的觉悟到了是时候去西方取经了，但是他为什么没有把他的想法大胆公开出来？如果从他那时起，觉悟了的士大夫都去表达自己，那中国的现代化可能会早二十年。他为什么不这样做？因为在作文他心中，他的名誉比拯救世界更重要。这也是中国士大夫的通病。我认为这有两方面原因，一是士大夫本来就是胆小懦弱，不敢说出实话，另一方面是皇帝和官场的大背景十分固化，且皇帝时常用人不当，使士大夫们不敢言也不敢怒。所以我认为现在的统治者应当多听取八方的意见，让真正有抱负的明珠慧眼帮助中国一直进步。
Want only actually the government has turned round to think carefully at that time, closing the country to international communication with respect to meeting discovery is how big mistake. Far when Tang Chao, japan is sent the Tang Dynasty make come to China learn. Introduce Chinese character quickly, dress, the building is administrative system even, it can take its elite to go its scum, undertake next very complete undertake reform, it is then more and more powerful. Do not say Japan, westing of black at that time big and thick, introduced buddhism, make its develop in China. Introduce the life option that abounded people not only Buddhistly, still promoted national government. This explains the outstanding culture that introduces a foreign country is the tweak that a stimulative country develops. The China at that time has in case enough tall wisdom, bold introduce western civilization, warlike head off a danger, so China can keep abreast of with western powerful nation not only, and what can weigh model China civilization in the world certainly is brilliant. The history won't be changed, but the lesson that we can draw the history. Study the history, draw a lesson, it is the best shortcut that moves toward a success. When making a decision, think the roundabout way that once had taken, probably, it is met relaxed a lot of.
其实只要当时政府回过头去仔细想一想，就会发现闭关自守是多么大的错误。远在唐朝时，日本就派遣唐使来中国学习。快速引进中国文字，服饰，建筑甚至是管理制度，它可以取其精华去其糟粕，然后进行很彻底的进行改革，于是它就越来越强大。不说日本，当时玄奘西行，引进了佛教，使其在中国发展。佛教的引进不仅丰富了人们的生活选择，还促进了国家的管理。这说明引进外国的优秀文化是一个促进国家发展的好办法。倘若当时的中国有足够高的智慧，大胆引进西方文明，将战争化险为夷，那么中国不仅会与西方强国并驾齐驱，而且一定会在国际上重塑中国文明的辉煌。历史不会改变，但我们可以吸取历史的教训。学习历史，吸取教训，是走向成功的最好捷径。在做决定时，想一想曾经走过的弯路，或许，它就会轻松许多了。(文/张悦)
