This book takes the Shunzhi Consultative Bureau and the Provincial Council, which have received relatively little attention from academic circles, as the research object. It systematically combs the historical change process from the Shunzhi Consultative Bureau in the late Qing Dynasty to the Zhili Provincial Council in the early Republic of China. It uses this as a window to see through the representative system, local autonomy, and local politics in modern China. It can be called an important historical document research work. This book has a broad vision, unique methods, and detailed documentation. It plays an important role in deepening the study of the representative system and political system transformation in modern China. It also has outstanding practical application value in revealing the basic laws of democratic political construction in post-development countries and guiding the construction of democratic politics in contemporary China.
