The Other Side of the Reform Movement of 1898: Reading Notes of "zhang Zhidong Archives
by Mao Haijian
About This Novel
From the systematic reading of the "Zhang Zhidong Archives", the author has prominently felt that this batch of historical materials provides modern people with a new perspective on observing the Reform Movement of 1898: Zhang Zhidong and Chen Baozhen's group were one of the political factions within the Qing government at that time, and they were also groups advocating reform. From the "archives", it can be seen that Zhang Zhidong's group and major political figures held a repulsive and even hostile attitude towards Kang and Liang. It seems that we can understand many aspects of the whole process of the reform in a multi-dimensional way, and can roughly speculate on the political prospects of Kang and Liang's faction. Previous research on the Reform Movement of 1898 often centered on the claims of Kang and Liang, but the materials in the "Archives" from outside Kang and Liang allow researchers to view this reform movement from a standpoint other than Kang and Liang. This batch of "archival" materials is large in quantity and highly accurate. Many of them were high-level secrets at the time. They can refine historical details that were vague in the past, especially some key content at critical moments in history.
