魏源是与林则徐同时代的思想界巨子。他在关于国运的思考中,继承了林的对外开放思想并将之发扬光大。魏源的开放思想显得更为明白清晰、深刻具体,富于可行性,具有坚持扬利避害的原则、强调人的能动作用、对外开放与对内改革紧密结合等三个突出的特征。魏源的开放思想代表了近代中国第一批开眼看世界的仁人志士们的最高理论水平,具有深远的历史和现实意义。 Wei Yuan is a contemporary thinker with Lin Zexu. In his thinking on the national transport, he inherited the idea of ​​opening to the outside world and carried it forward. Wei Yuan’s thinking on opening-up has become clearer, deeper and more concrete, more viable, with the three prominent features of insisting on the principle of Yangli and avoiding the disadvantages, emphasizing the active role of the people, and opening up to the internal reform. Wei Yuan’s opening thought represents the first theory of the highest theoretical level in modern China that opened its eyes to the world and has great historical and practical significance.
