摘　　要：薛福成是晚清桐城派文章大家,也是中国近代杰出的驻外公使。1890~1894年,他出使西方期间,写下《出使英法义比四国日记》,记录了他在欧洲四国的出使经历,集中体现了他的西学思想。薛福成通过自己对西方的多方位体验、观察与思考,表达了对中西文化的独特认知,并提出了中西文化融合的主张。他试图为西方文化在中国文化中寻找根源,变外来为内在,以便更好地吸收西方文化,此种思想对后世产生了积极的影响。薛福成对待西方文化采取的理性主义态度,也开启了其后维新变法一代人的思想先河。Xue Fucheng was a great writer of Tong-Cheng style,also was an outstanding imperial ambassador in modern China.From 1890 to 1894,during his mission to Europe,he wrote down the Journal of An Ambassador to Britain,France,Italia and Belgium,recording his experiences in Europe.By observing and pondering,Xue Fucheng expressed his understanding of Chinese and western cultures,and proposed that Chinese and western cultures should be harmonized.Meanwhile,in order to better assimilate western culture,he tried to find the source of western culture in Chinese culture,changed the external culture into internal culture.His ideas of western culture had positive effects on future generations.Xue Fucheng's rational attitude to the western culture,set a precedent for the constitutional reform and modernization generation.
