义和团运动与近代思想启蒙

１００年前的义和团运动不仅沉重地打击了帝国主义列强瓜分中国的狂妄野心，而且给当时的资产阶级政治斗争提供了新的发展契机。它尤其给２０世纪初中国社会的思想启蒙以深刻的影响。这场运动使国人进一步认清了帝国主义列强、清朝统治的反动本质，使资产阶级先进分子看到人民群众中蕴藏的巨大反抗力量，认识到对国民进行思想启蒙的重要性和迫切性，从而把近代思想启蒙运动推进到一个新的阶段。义和团运动与近代中国思想启蒙的关系，生动地体现了救亡与启蒙之间相辅相成、相互促进的辩证关系

Yihetuan Movement and Chinese Enlightenment in the Early 20th Century

The Yihetuan Movement (also known as the Boxer movement, 1900), not only heavily attacked imperialism's slicing melon policy, but also offered an impetus to the political struggles of the bourgeoisie, especially to the Chinese enlightenment in the early 20th century. It taught Chinese to realize the aggressive character of imperialism and the reactionary character of the Manchu court, to find the potential power in the masses, and understand the necessity of enlightenment among common people. As result of the Movement, enlightenment movement entered a new stage. The relation between the Yihetuan and enlightenment is dialectical one; the national salvation movement and the enlightenment movement complement each other.
