1. The significance of progress. Although the decrees promulgated by the Reform Movement of 1898 mostly stayed on paper and were never really implemented, it shows that the historical trend is progressive. Politically, reformists profoundly criticized the feudal system, advocated the establishment of parliament and restricted excessive imperial power, hoping to gradually turn the feudal autocratic system into a capitalist constitutional monarchy through improved roads. Although they failed in the end, their publicity and publicity.
2. Patriotic significance. The national bourgeoisie in China, which has just stepped onto the political stage, stood up and called for "protecting the country" and opposed "carve-up" in the face of the carving-up frenzy set off by imperialism at the end of 19, which was a patriotic movement in modern China to explore the truth of saving the country and the people. What is particularly commendable is that they incorporated their political demands into the national salvation movement, so that the political reform movement and national salvation were integrated.
3. Enlightenment significance. The reformists first established modern newspapers and periodicals in China, gradually transformed the old academies and private schools into modern schools, and established a wide range of political and academic societies. They vigorously advocated western social, political and scientific knowledge, and publicized the concepts of natural human rights, freedom and equality, which opened the eyes of intellectuals, enabled them to re-understand the world, and cleared some obstacles for people to accept new ideas later. This ideological influence will not disappear because of the coup. A group of landlord class intellectuals accepted new ideas and got involved in the vortex of bourgeois political struggle, which was the mass basis of the Reform Movement. After the Reform Movement of 1898, the social goals pursued by people changed obviously, and the outstanding talents of the landlord class intellectuals turned to the opposite side, not the bureaucratic class. After the Reform Movement of 1898, not only a large number of young students turned to the revolutionary camp in large numbers.
This is what our teacher said. It must be true! Ha ha laugh
