14 Week 5 Reforms: Self Strengthening Movement

15 Three major reform movements The Self-Strengthening Movements, oafter the Second Opium War The Hundred Day s Reform Movement, 1898 oat the time of the Western imperial scramble of China The New Policies, oafter the Boxer War

16 Involving one powerful woman Empress Dowager Cixi who controlled the political powers throughout these years. two palace coup d'état three minor emperors: Tongzhi (reign ), Guangxu (reign ), and Xuantong (Puyi, reign ) half century attempts of reforming the Qing s military, economic, political, and education systems in order to face up to the challenges posed by Western imperial powers, to make China strong and wealthy again

17 Reform? Several groups of scholar-official (the power holders) attempted, through reforms, to save the dynastic imperial nation. Most of them came from Statecraft School of Confucianism which emphasizes on practical learning and morality. They try to save the Qing nation through practical policy making reforming military, economic and political, educational structures. They faced oppositions from the arch-conservatives like Woren who belonged to the Neo-Confucianism school. The conservative believed China was at the centre of the world, achieved high civilisation; foreigners (not educated in Chinese culture, thus barbarians, know not the great ways of China) should be expelled. Learning from foreigners was unthinkable to them. Empress Dowager Cixi played the two sides off. She was not whole heartedly convinced the need to reform, cared more on preserving her own political power and on her on enjoyment.

36 Institution, The Maritime Customs Service, central For collecting tax of foreign trade in the ports Before it: The Qing government collected it themselves Starting point: Shanghai walled city was occupied by the small Sword Society in 1854 during Taiping War.

51 Failed reform movements? The reformers attempted to preserve the social order they were familiar with and in which they were the privileged power holder and shouldered the responsibility of governing How do we measure failure and success? It terms of their aims to strengthen or save the Qing imperial state, they failed. In the War with France (1884-5) and with Japan (1895) the Qing lost both; but these did not destroy the Qing directly. We think they failed also because the Qing dynasty was toppled in But how much was the Qing s fall related to the reform projects? There are many contributing factors of the Qing s fall. Was the success/failure of reform part of it? Bureaucratic culture corruption and nepotism and conservatism prevented the institutions from reaching its potential, but the institution did function the role of strengthening the military power Another two waves of reforms to come: the Hundred Day Reform (1898) and the New Policies (1901).

52 The Hundred Day s Reform Movement, 1898 Guangxu emperor attempted to take back the control of the political power from his aunt Empress Dowager Cixi and to start reforms to save the nation. He recruited some ministers and the two scholars Kang Youwei and Laing Qichao to start reforming, political structure (constitutional monarchy), education system, and bureaucratic system much deeper reform than the Self-Strengthening Movements. Cixi and conservative stopped the reform after 103 days of its starting. Most of the programmes were implemented in the New Policy reform
