The Manchu aristocrats cut their braids and learned from the west, which were superficial reforms and did not involve deep-seated institutional reforms at all. At that time, the Qing dynasty was already? Rotten to the root? The superficial reform could not save the Qing Dynasty, which was doomed to withdraw from the historical stage.

As we all know, from the Opium War launched by Britain in 1840, China began a humiliating modern history of more than one hundred years. In this 100 years, western powers have been tyrannizing over the land of China, enjoying the so-called? Privilege? . When they found out that this was a modern massacre. Mutton? At that time, the Second Opium War, the Sino-French War and Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China were flagrantly launched, and many benefits were gained from China. During this period, the China government was still a corrupt, dark and incompetent Qing government, but some Qing government officials thought? Continue the country? Has it been implemented? Save the nation from extinction? The most famous sports are the Westernization Movement and the Reform Movement of 1898.

The Westernization Movement was initiated by Li Hongzhang and other ministers of the Westernization School, with the purpose of learning advanced western science and technology, and using them to produce foreign guns and equip the Qing army with foreign guns to gain self-protection ability. The Westernization Movement finally failed, because no matter how hard the ministers of the Westernization School tried, it was impossible to learn only western science and technology. Only by comprehensively studying the evolution of advanced western concepts and systems and making fundamental changes can China be saved. This led to the reform movement in 1898. At that time, Kang Youwei and others followed the example of the West to establish a constitutional monarchy, but it lasted only 100 days and was put out by the conservatives headed by Cixi, not to mention that the Reform Movement of 1898 was not a thorough institutional change.

Therefore, it can be seen that China was not saved by those aristocrats in the Qing Dynasty who cut their braids to learn from the West, launched the Reform Movement of 1898 and the Westernization Movement, and learned from the West unilaterally. Only by establishing a brand-new system through revolution and fundamentally changing China can we conform to the development of the world. Therefore, Manchu aristocrats who hinder the development of China are doomed to be eliminated by history and will withdraw from the historical stage.
