洋务运动时期,随着《万国公法》的传入,清政府肯定其在办理外交上的价值。清政府出使西方的外交官以《万国公法》为指南展开与西方的外交活动。洋务思想家们对《万国公法》亦进行了深入研究,看到其积极意义的同时,也对其进行批判。这些都反映了洋务时期国人对国际法认知水平。 During the Westernization Movement, with the introduction of the “Universal Legal System”, the Qing government affirmed its diplomatic value. The Qing Government Expedited Diplomats in the West to Start Diplomatic Activities with the West with the Guide of “Universal Legal Systems”. Western thought thinkers also carried out an in-depth study of the “Universal Law of the People.” While seeing its positive significance, it also criticized it. All these reflect the Chinese people’s knowledge of international law during the Westernization Movement.
