Research on Early Modernization of Hangzhou City: 1896～1927
About This Novel
From ancient times to the end of the 19th century, the city of Hangzhou showed a development trajectory from rising to gradually declining status. The disastrous defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 and the subsequent Treaty of Shimonoseki made Hangzhou a new member of the treaty port. Although this is a humiliating symbol of defeat in the war, it is an opportunity for development for the city of Hangzhou. Since then, Hangzhou City has begun its long journey of modernization. As Israeli scholar Eisenstad said: "From a historical point of view, modernization is the process of social, economic, and political systems changing to modern types." The modernization of Hangzhou City is all-round, reflected in the tremendous changes in political system, economy, education and culture, municipal facilities, social customs and many other aspects. This book mainly explains the early modernization of Hangzhou city (1896-1927) from four aspects: political system, economy, culture, municipal construction and management.
