After the mid-nineteenth century, as the Western colonialist powers encroached upon the Orient, China was in danger of national subjugation. In their efforts to save the nation, contemporary Chinese intellectuals began to disseminate Western astronomy, geography, history, and other learning of humanities. Through comparative studies of the Oriental and Western civilization, their conception of the Orient-West civilizations and value systems took shape, on basis of which they set forth their schemes for national salvation. These schemes may be called China's earliest modernization blueprint drawn by the Chinese intellectuals in early modern Chinese history. This essay intends to concentrate on analyzing the thought of Wei Yuan and Xu Jiyu, with an eye to explore the Chinese intellectuals' ideological structure and conception of Chinese and Western Civilizations in China's early modern history. Both Wei Yuan and Xu Jiyu were people who opened their eyes to the world. They witnessed the historical transition and their thinking was formulated in the course of reflection on the time they lived in, and therefore it has great historical significance.
