Evolution Of Tseng Kuo-fan Road Salt The Same Year, The Traditional Culture

China's traditional culture entered the key period of the transmutation in Dao gang,Sian feng,Tong zhi dynasty. Confucianism which was in its own function of "Neisheng","Waiwang"is forfeitured.Under the blow of the sport of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Opium War (1840-1842), it has fallen into the situation of crisis. Meanwhile, because historiography lose its value and function of practical , literature seems empty and has no thing, the trend of China's traditional academic class appeared to decline.In the meantime, the theories of West poured into China with the unprecedented scale under the leading of big powers' artillery fire of the west, it formed the enormous impact to traditional culture of China. All these made the position of traditional culture which central was Confucianism to wave. In the face of changed situation that never met in Chinese history, Zeng guofan who owned deep attainments of traditional culture bearded the responsibility of rejuvenation . He suppressed the sport of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that regarded western Christianity as the flag and denied Chinese Confucianism with all strength; Rejuvenated Jinwenjingxue ,Zhuzixue and Tongchengpai which were not attentioned in the past; He resumed "Lixue"and education, maintained society customs, b uild publishing business ; Do one's utmost to advocate the combination of the theory of Han and Song ; make great efforts to combine Lixue and the thought of Jingshi. These actions had injected new vigor into traditional culture, which was in the decline. Because Zeng guofan is not only a learned scholar, but also an remarkable politician, he pursued scholarly work without having parochial prejudice, and advocated absorbing all the knowledge which favorable to the country, therefore when he realized that learned West theory can strengthen Confucianism's function of "Waiwang", he open the gate to learn it. He r un modern military industry in a more effective manner;set up translation hall enthusiastically, asked to send the students to foreign countries actively. But the decline of the China's traditional culture which taking Confucianism as the core was the trend of the times, although Zeng guofan's efforts made it rejuvenate to a certain extent, but it is difficult eventually to hold its position; Actually west theories that ought to strengthen Confucianism "Waiwang"function formed deadly blow to traditional culture, so it accelerated the change of traditional culture which taking Confucianism as central, Zeng guofan who posing as "defending traditional culture principles "man was quite unexpected it. Through the relation of Zeng guofan and the change of traditional culture of Dao gang ,Sian feng and Tong zhi dynasty, we can realize clearly that because the great change of China's modern social structure, it is difficult for traditional culture to play a absolute domination role as the governance thought of the society, it can only be regarded as the national cultural heritage, as the national historical footprint, which was known and reviewed by people. Review this history, not merely helps us to treat China's traditional culture with the correct attitude, but also has certain reference value to the cultural construction of our country.
