Between the Old and the New: Duanfang and the Changes in the Late Qing Dynasty

The New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty is an area in which research on modern Chinese history has achieved fruitful results in recent years. With the deepening of relevant research, the role and value of the Manchu and Mongolian elites in the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty and the changes of the times have been re-examined. This book takes Duanfang's reform measures during the changes in the late Qing Dynasty as the object of investigation, and is a further deepening of previous research. The author examines Duan Fang in the tortuous and complicated historical process of the late Qing Dynasty, using his life as the warp and his thoughts as the latitude, and strives to examine his role in the changes in the late Qing Dynasty from the aspects of political change, industrial innovation, and educational innovation.
