The Xinhai Revolution or Hsinhai Revolution, also known as Revolution of 1911 or the Chinese Revolution, was a revolution that overthrew China's last imperial dynasty, the Qing (1644–1912), and established the Republic of China. The revolution was named Xinhai because it occurred in 1911, the year of the Xinhai stem-branch in the sexagenary cycle of the Chinese calendar.[1]

The revolution consisted of many revolts and uprisings. The turning point is the Wuchang Uprising on October 10, 1911 that was a result of the mishandling of the Railway Protection Movement. The revolution ended with the abdication of the "Last Emperor" Puyi on February 12, 1912, that marked the end of over 2,000 years of Imperial China and the beginning of China's Republican era.[2]

In general the revolution was a reaction to the declining Qing state and its inability to reform and modernize China to confront the challenges posed by foreign powers and reverse domestic decline, and the majority Han Chinese's resentment of the ruling Manchu minority. Many underground anti-Qing groups with the support of Chinese revolutionaries in exile had tried to overthrow the Qing. The brief civil war that ensued was ended through a political compromise between Yuan Shikai, the late Qing military strongman, and Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Tongmenghui (United League). After the Qing court transferred power to the newly-founded republic, the formation of a provisional coalition government was created along with the National Assembly. However, political power of the new national government in Beijing was soon thereafter monopolized by Yuan and lead to decades of political division and warlordism, including several attempts at imperial restoration.

Today, both the Republic of China on Taiwan and the People's Republic of China on the mainland consider themselves to be successors to the Xinhai Revolution and continue to pay homage to the ideals of the revolution including nationalism, republicanism, modernization of China and the national unity. October 10 is commemorated in Taiwan as Double Ten Day, the National Day of the Republic of China. In mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, the same day is usually celebrated as the Anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution.[3] Many overseas Chinese also celebrate the anniversary in Chinatowns across the world.

Background

File:The Portrait of the Qing Dynasty Cixi Imperial Dowager Empress of China in the 1900s.PNG
The Empress Dowager Cixi (1835–1908), who personified the conservative Qing court and controlled court politics for 47 years, halted the attempt of her nephew Guangxu Emperor (1871–1908), the penultimate Qing emperor, to institute reforms in 1898.
After the failure of Hundred Days' Reform in 1898, Guangxu's advisors Kang Youwei (left, 1858–1927) and Liang Qichao (1873–1929) fled into exile while Tan Sitong (right, 1865–1898) was executed. In Canada, Kang and Liang formed the Emperor Protection Society to promote constitutional monarchy for China. In 1900, they supported an unsuccessful uprising in central China to rescue Guangxu. After the Xinhai Revolution, Liang became a Minister of Justice of the Republic of China. Kang remained a royalist and supported restoring the last Qing emperor Puyi in 1917.

After suffering its first defeat to the West in the First Opium War in 1842, the Qing court struggled to contain foreign intrusions into China. Efforts to adjust and reform the traditional methods of governance were constrained by a deeply conservative court culture where ethnic Manchu rulers did not want to give too much authority to the Han Chinese group.

In the wars against the Taiping (1851–64), Nian (1851–1868), Muslims of Yunnan (1856–1868) and the Northwest (1862–1877), the traditional Manchu armies were proven incompetent and the court came to rely on Han local armies.[4]

Following defeat in the Second Opium War the Qing tried to modernize by adopting certain Western technologies through the Self-Strengthening Movement from 1861.[5] In 1895 China suffered a serious defeat during the First Sino-Japanese War.[6] This demonstrated that traditional Chinese feudal society also needed to be modernized if the technological and commercial advancements were to succeed. In 1898 Emperor Guangxu was guided by reformers like Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao for a drastic reform in education, military and economy under the Hundred Days Reforms.[6] The reform was a failure as it was ended prematurely by a conservative coup led by Empress Dowager Cixi.[7] Emperor Guangxu, who have always been a puppet emperor dependent on Cixi, was put under house arrest in June 1898.[8][4] Reformers Kang and Liang would be exiled.[8] While in Canada in June 1899, they tried to form the Emperor Protection Society in an attempt to restore the emperor.[4] Empress Cixi mainly controlled the Qing dynasty from this point on. The Boxer Rebellion prompted another foreign invasion of Beijing in 1900 and the imposition of unequal treaty terms, which carved away territories, created extraterritorial concessions, gave away trade privileges. Under internal and external pressure the Qing court began to adopt some of the reforms. The Qing managed to maintain its monopoly on political power by brutally suppressing, often at great costs, all domestic rebellions. Dissidents could operate only in secret societies and underground organizations, in foreign concessions or in exile overseas.

Organization for revolution

File:Leaders of Revive China Party.jpg
From left to right: Tse Tsan-tai, Yeung Kui-wan (President), Sun Yat-sen, three of the earliest revolutionaries

Earliest groups

There were many revolutionaries and many groups that wanted to overthrow the Qing government to reestablish a Han Chinese government. The earliest revolutionary organizations were established outside of China like Yeung Kui-wan's Furen Literary Society created in Hong Kong in 1890. There were 15 members including Tse Tsan-tai, who did political satire like "The Situation in the Far East" one of the first ever Chinese manhua, and later became one of the core founders of South China morning post.[9]

Sun Yat-sen's Xingzhonghui (Revive China Society) was established at Honolulu in 1894 with the main purpose of fund-raising revolutions.[10] The two organizations were merged in 1894.[11]

Smaller groups

The Huaxinghui (China Revival Society) was founded in 1904 with notables like Huang Xing, Zhang Shizhao, Chen Tianhua and Song Jiaoren and 100 others. Their motto was "Take one province by force, and inspire the other provinces to rise up".[12]

The Guangfuhui (Restoration Society) was also founded in 1904 in Shanghai with Cai Yuanpei. Other notable members include Zhang Binglin and Tao Chengzhang.[13] Despite having the anti-Qing cause, the Guangfuhui is highly critical of Sun Yat-sen.[14] One of the most famous female revolutionaries Qiu Jin who fought for women's rights was also from Guangfuhui.[14]

There were also many other minor revolutionary organizations, such as Lizhi Xuehui (勵志學會) in Jiangsu, Gongchanghui (公強會) in Sichuan, Yiwenhui (益聞會) and Hanzhudulihui (漢族獨立會) in Fujian, Yizhihui (易知社) in Jiangxi, Yuewanghui (岳王會) in Anhui and Qunzhihui (群智會/群智社) in Guangzhou.[15]

Other criminal organizations that were anti-Manchu include Green Gang and Hongmen Zhigongtang (致公堂).[16] Sun Yat-sen himself came in contact with the Hongmen also known as Tiandihui (Heaven and Earth society).[17][18]

Gelaohui (Elder Brother society) was also another group with Zhu De, Wu Yuzhang, Liu Zhidan (劉志丹) and Helong.[8] This is the revolutionary group that would eventually develop a strong link with the later Communist party.[8]

Sun Yat-sen with his Tongmenghui

Tongmenghui

Sun Yat-sen successfully united the Revive China Society, Huaxingwui and Guangfuhui in the summer of 1905, thereby establishing the unified Tongmenghui (United League) in August 1905 in Tokyo.[19] While it started in Tokyo, it has loose organizations distributed across the country and outside the country. Sun Yat-sen was the leader of this unified group. Other revolutionaries that worked with the Tongmenghui include Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin. When the Tongmenhui was established, more than 90% of the Tongmenhui members were between age of 17 and 26 years of age.[20] Some of the work in the era include manhua publications like the Journal of Current Pictorial.[21]

Later groups

In February 1906 Rizhihui (日知會) also had many revolutionaries including Sun Wu (孫武), Zhang Nanxian (張難先), He Jiwei and Feng Mumin.[22][23] A nucleus of attendees of this conference evolved into the Tongmenhui's establishment in Hubei.

In July 1907 several members of Tongmenhui in Tokyo advocated a revolution in the area of the Yangtze River. Liu Quiyi (劉揆一), Jiao Dafeng (焦達峰), Zhang Boxiang (張伯祥) and Sun Wu (孫武) established Gongjinhui (Progressive Association) (共進會).[24][25] In January 1911 revolutionary group Zhengwu Xueshe (振武學社) was renamed as Wenxueshe (Literary society) (文學社).[26] Jiang Yiwu (蔣翊武) was chosen as the leader.[27] These two organizations would play a big role in the Wuchang Uprising.

Political views

Main article: Anti-Qing sentiment

Many revolutionaries promoted anti-Qing / anti-Manchu sentiments, and revived memories of conflict between the ethnic minority Manchu and the ethnic majority Han Chinese from the late Ming Dynasty. Leading intellectuals were influenced by books that had survived from the last years of Ming dynasty (1368–1644), the last dynasty of Han Chinese. In 1904 Sun Yat-sen came about with the goal "to expel the Tatar barbarians, to revive Zhonghua, to establish a Republic, and to distribute land equally among the people." (驅除韃虜, 恢復中華, 創立民國, 平均地權).[28] Many of the underground groups promoted the ideas of "Resist Qing and restore Ming" (反清復明) that has been around since the days of the Taiping Rebellion.[29] Others like Zhang Binglin supported straight up lines like "slay the manchus" and support concepts like Anti-Manchuism (興漢滅胡 / 排滿主義).[30]

Strata and groups

The Xinhai Revolution was supported by many groups, including students and intellectuals who returned from abroad, as well as participants of the revolutionary organizations, overseas Chinese, soldiers of the new army, local gentry, farmers, and others.

Sun Yat-sen arrived in Singapore for the last time on December 16, 1911, residing in the Golden Bell Mansion

Overseas Chinese

Main article: Chinese revolutionary activities in Malaya

Assistance from overseas Chinese was important in the Xinhai Revolution. In the first year of the Revive China Society in 1894, the first meeting ever held by the group was held in the home of Ho Fon, an overseas Chinese who was also the leader of the first Chinese church of Christ.[31] Overseas Chinese support and actively participated in the funding of revolutionary activities, especially by the Southeast Asia Chinese of Malaya (Singapore and Malaysia).[32] Many of these groups were reorganized by Sun, who was referred to as the "mother of the Chinese revolution".[32]

Newly emerged intellectuals

In 1906 after the abolition of the imperial examinations, the Qing Government established many new schools and encouraged students to study abroad. Many young people attended the new schools or went abroad to study to places like Japan.[33] A new class of intellectuals emerged from those students who had studied overseas or at the new schools, in places like Japan. These Chinese students in Japan contributed immensely to the Xinhai Revolution. Besides Sun Yat-sen, key figures in the revolution such as Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Hu Hanmin, Liao Zhongkai, Zhu Zhixin, and Wang Jingwei, were all Chinese students in Japan. Some young students like Zou Rong was known for writing the book "Revolutionary Army" where he talked about the extermination of the manchus for the 260 years of oppression and sorrow, cruelty and tyranny, and turn the sons and grandsons of Yellow Emperor into George Washingtons.[34]

Before 1908, revolutionaries focused on coordinating these organizations in preparation for uprisings that these organizations would launch; hence, these groups would provide most of the manpower needed for the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty. After the Xinhai Revolution, Sun Yat-sen recalled the days of recruiting support for the revolution and said "The literati were deeply into the search for honors and profits, so they were regarded as having only secondary importance. By contrast, organizations like Sanhehui were able to sow widely the ideas of resisting the Qing and restoring the Ming."[35]

Gentry and businessmen

The strength of the gentry in local politics had become apparent. From December 1908, the Qing Government created some government apparatus to allow the gentry and businessmen to participate in politics. These middle-class people were originally supporters of constitutionalism. However, they became disenchanted when the Qing Government created a cabinet with Prince Qing as prime minister.[36] By early 1911 an experimental cabinet had 13 members, 9 of which were Manchus selected from imperial family.[37]

Foreigners

Besides Chinese and overseas Chinese, some of the supporters and participants of Xinhai Revolution were foreigners; among foreigners, the Japanese were the most active group. Some Japanese even became members of Tongmenghui. Miyazaki Touten was the closest Japanese supporter, others include Heiyama Shu or Ryōhei Uchida. British soldier Rowland J. Mulkern also took part in the revolution.[38] Some foreigners such as English explorer Arthur de Carle Sowerby led expeditions to rescue many foreign missionaries between 1911 and 1912.[39]

Yuan Shikai (1859–1916)
Yuan, who betrayed the Guangxu reformers to the Empress Dowager, rose to power in north China and built the Beiyang Army.

Soldiers of the new armies

The New Army was formed in 1901 after the defeat of the Qings from the First Sino-Japanese war.[33] They were launched by a decree from eight provinces.[33] New Army were by far the best trained and equipped.[33] They were better recruited than old formations and received regular promotions.[33] Beginning in 1908, the revolutionaries began to shift their call to the new armies. Sun Yat-sen and the revolutionaries infiltrated the New Army.[40]

Uprisings and incidents

The general focus of the uprisings are those that surround the Tongmenghui and Sun Yat-sen including the smaller groups within. Some uprisings below involve groups that never merged with the Tongmenghui. Sun Yat-sen may have participated in 8–10 uprisings; all uprisings prior to the Wuchang Uprising had failed.

Flag of the First Guangzhou Uprising

First Guangzhou Uprising

In spring 1895, the Revive China Society, which was based in Hong Kong, planned the first "Guangzhou uprising" (廣州起義). Lu Haodong was tasked with designing the revolutionaries' Blue Sky with a White Sun flag.[32] On October 26, 1895, Yeung Kui-wan and Sun Yat-sen led Zhen Shiliang and Lu Haodong to Guangzhou, preparing to capture Guangzhou in one strike. However, the details of their plans were leaked to the government.[41] The Qing Government began to arrest revolutionaries, including Lu Haodong, who was later executed.[41] The first Guangzhou uprising was admittedly a failure. Under the pressure from Qing Government, the government of Hong Kong forbade these two men to enter the territory for five years. Sun Yat-sen went into exile, promoting the Chinese revolution and raising funds in Japan, the United States, Canada and Britain on behalf of the revolution. In 1901, Yeung Kui-wan was assassinated by Qing agents in Hong Kong.[42] After his death his family protected his identity on his tomb without his name, and just a number: 6348.[42]

Independence Army Uprising

In 1900, after the Boxer Rebellion started, Tang Caichang (唐才常) and Tan Sitong of the previous Foot Emancipation Society organised the Independence Army. The "Independence Army Uprising" (自立軍起義) was planned to occur on August 23, 1900.[43] Their goal was to overthrow Empress Dowager Cixi to establish a constitutional monarchy under Emperor Guangxu. Their plot was discovered by the governor general of Hunan and Hubei. About 20 conspirators were arrested and executed.[43]

Huizhou Uprising

On October 8, 1900, Sun Yat-sen ordered the launch of the "Huizhou Uprising" (惠州起義).[44] The revolutionary army was led by Zheng Shiliang and initially included 20,000 men, who fought for half a month. However, after the Japanese Prime Minister prohibited Sun Yat-sen from carrying out revolutionary activities on Taiwan, Zheng Shiliang had no choice but to order the army to disperse. This uprising therefore also failed. British soldier Rowland J. Mulkern participated in this uprising.[38]

Two important Qing figures at the time

Great Ming Uprising

A very short uprising occurred from January 25 to 28 in 1903 to establish a "Great Ming Heavenly kingdom" (大明順天國).[45] This involved Tse Tsan-tai, Li Jitong (李紀堂), Liang Muguang (梁慕光) and Hong Chunfu (洪全福) who formerly took part in the Jintian Uprising during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom era.[46]

Ping-liu-li Uprising

Ma Fuyi (馬福益) and Huaxinghui was involved in an uprising in three areas of Pingxiang, Liuyang and Liling called "Ping-liu-li Uprising" (萍瀏醴起義) in 1905.[47] The uprising recruited miners as early as 1903 to rise against the Qing ruling class. After the uprising failed, Ma Fuyi was executed.[47]

Beijing Zhengyangmen East Railway assassination attempt

Wu Yue (吳樾) of Guangfuhui carried out an assassination attempt at the Beijing Zhengyangmen East Railway station (正陽門車站) in an attack on five Qing officials on September 24, 1905.[14][48]

Huanggang Uprising

The "Huanggang Uprising" (黃岡起義) was launched on May 22, 1907 in Chaozhou.[49] The Revolutionary party, along with Xu Xueqiu (許雪秋), Chen Yongpo (陳湧波), and Yu Tongshi (余通實) launched the uprising and captured Huanggang city.[49] Other Japanese that followed include (萱野長知) and (池亨吉).[49] After the uprising, Qing Government quickly and forcefully suppressed the uprising. Around 200 revolutionaries were killed with the uprising failing.[50]

Huizhou seven women lake Uprising

In the same year, Sun Yat-sen sent more revolutionaries were in Huizhou to launch the "Huizhou seven women lake Uprising" (惠州七女湖起義).[51] On June 2 Deng Zhiyu (鄧子瑜) and Chen Chuan (陳純) gathered a few members and together they seized Qing arms in the lake, 20km from Huizhou.[52] They killed several Qing soldiers and attacked Taiwei (泰尾) on the 5th.[52] The Qing Army fled in disorder and the revolutionaries exploited the opportunity, capturing several towns. They defeated the Qing Army once again in Bazhiyie. Many organizations voiced their support after the uprising, and the number of troops increased to 200 men at its height. The uprising failed in the end.

Anqing Uprising

On July 6, 1907, Xu Xilin of Guangfuhui led an uprising in Anqing, Anhui, which became known as the "Anqing Uprising" (安慶起義).[26] Xu Xilin at the time was the police commissioner as well as the supervisor of the police academy. He led an uprising that was to also assassinate the provincial governor of Anhui En Ming (恩銘).[53] They were defeated after four hours of struggle. Xu was captured where bodyguards cut out his heart and liver and ate them.[53] His cousin Qiu Jin was also executed a few days later.[53]

Qinzhou Uprising

Between August to September 1907 was the "Qinzhou Uprising" (欽州防城起義).[54], caused to protest against heavy taxation from the government. Sun Yat-sen sent Wang Heshun (王和順) there to assist the revolutionary army and captured the county on September.[55] After that, they attempted to besiege and capture Qinzhou, but they were unsuccessful. They eventually retreated to the area of Shiwandashan while Wang Heshun returned to Vietnam.

Zhennanguan Uprising

On December 1, 1907, the "Zhennanguan Uprising" (鎮南關起事) took place at Zhennanguan, a border on the Chinese-Vietnamese border. Sun Yat-sen sent Huang Mintang (黃明堂) to monitor the pass, which was guarded by a fort.[55] With the assistance of supporters among the fort's defenders, the revolutionaries captured the cannon tower in Zhennanguan. Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and Hu Hanmin personally went to the tower to command the battle.[56] Qing Government sent armies to counterattack, and the revolutionaries were forced to retreat into mountainous areas. After the failure of this uprising, Sun was forced to move to Singapore due to anti-Sun sentiments within the revolutionary groups.[57] He would not return to the mainland until after the Wuchang Uprising.

Qin-lian Uprising

On March 27, 1908, Huang Xing launched a raid, later known as the "Qin-lian Uprising" (欽廉上思起義), from a base in Vietnam and attacked the cities of Qinzhou and Lianzhou in Guangdong. The struggle continued for 14 days, but was forced to terminate after the revolutionaries ran out of supplies. [58]

Hekou Uprising

In April 1908, another uprising was launched in Yunnan Hekou called the "Hekou Uprising" (雲南河口起義). Huang Mingtang (黃明堂) led 200 men from Vietnam and attacked Hekou on April 30, 1908. Other revolutionaries that participated include Wang Heshun (王和順) and Guan Renfu (關仁甫). They were outnumbered and defeated, thus causing the uprising to fail. [59]

Mapaoying Uprising

On November 19, 1908, the "Mapaiying Uprising" (馬炮營起義) was launched by revolutionary group Yuewanghui (岳王會) member Xiong Chenggei (熊成基) at Anhui.[60] Yuewanghui at this time is a subset of Tongmenghui. This uprising also failed.

Gengxu New Army Uprising

In February 1910, the "Gengxu New Army Uprising" (庚戌新軍起義) also known as "Guangzhou New Army Uprising" (廣州新軍起義) took place.[61] This event involved a conflict between the citizens as well as the police enforcements and the New Army. After the revolutionary leader Ni Yingdian was killed by Qing forces, the remaining revolutionaries were quickly defeated, causing the uprising to fail. Despite this, it instilled great confidence among the people in the revolutionaries.

Second Guangzhou Uprising

Main article: Second Guangzhou Uprising

On April 27, 1911, an uprising was held in Guangzhou known as the "Second Guangzhou Uprising" (辛亥廣州起義) or "Yellow Flower Mound revolt" (黃花岡之役). The result was a disaster as only 72 bodies were ever found.[62] The 72 revolutionaries were remembered as martyrs.[62] Revolutionary Lin Jue-min (林覺民) was one of the 72 heroes sacrificed. On the eve of battle he wrote the legendary "A Letter to My Wife" (與妻訣別書), later to be considered a Chinese literature masterpiece.[63]

Wuchang Uprising

The Literary Society (文學社) and the Progressive Association (共進會) were revolutionary organizations that were involved in the uprising that mainly started out from the Railway Protection Movement.[64] In the late summer, some Hubei New Army units were ordered to neighboring Sichuan to quell the Railway Protection Movement, a mass protest of the Qing government's seizure and handover of local railway development ventures to foreign powers.[8]

The New Army units of Hubei had originally been the "Hubei Army," which had been trained by Qing official Zhang Zhidong.[2] On September 24, the Literary Society and Progressive Association convened a conference in Wuchang along with 60 representatives from local New Army units. During the conference, they established a headquarters for the uprising. The leaders of the two organizations, Jiang Yiwu (蔣翊武) and Sun Wu (孫武), were elected as the commander and the chief of staff. Initially the date of the uprising was to be October 6, 1911.[65] It was postponed to a later date due to insufficient preparations.

On October 9, Revolutionaries intent on overthrowing the Qing dynasty had built bombs and one accidentally exploded.[65] Sun Yat-sen himself had no direct part in the uprising and was traveling in the United States at the time in an effort to recruit more support from among overseas Chinese. The Qing Viceroy of Huguang Rui Cheng (瑞澂) tried to track down and arrest the revolutionaries.[66] Squad leader Xiong Bingkun (熊秉坤) and others decided not to delay the uprising any longer and launched the revolt at October 10, 1911 at 7 pm.[66] The revolt was a success; the entire city of Wuchang was captured by the revolutionaries by the morning of October 11. In the evening that day, they established a tactical headquarters and announced the establishment of the "Military Government of Hubei of Republic of China."[66] The conference chose Li Yuanhong as the governor of the temporary government.[66] The up and coming Battle of Yangxia led by Huang Xing would be a decisive battle of the uprising when the Qing responds.

After Wuchang, echoes from other provinces

Uprising map during the Xinhai revolution

After the success of the Wuchang uprising, many people followed in cities and towns in other provinces with more uprisings of their own. Many of the uprisings are followed up with restorations (光復). Some areas have more of an uprising tone, while others may have more of an independence tone depending on source. Essentially all province left the Qing to join the Republic of China.

Thubten Gyatso, the 13th Dalai Lama returned to Tibet in January 1913 from Sikkim, where he had been residing.[99] When the new ROC government apologised for the actions of the Qing and offered to restore the Dalai Lama to his former position. He replied that he was not interested in Chinese ranks and was assuming the spiritual and political leadership of Tibet.[99] Because of this, many have read this reply as a formal declaration of independence. The Chinese side ignored the response, and Tibet had 30 years free of interference from China.[99]

Main articles: Outer Mongolian revolution of 1911 and Outer Mongolia (1911–1919)

At the end of 1911 the Mongols took action with an armed revolt against the Manchu authorities, but was unsuccessful in the attempt.[100] An independence movement took place that was not limited to just North (outer) Mongolia but was a pan-Mongolian phenomenon.[100] On December 29, 1911 Bogd Khan became the leader of the Mongol empire. Inner Mongolia became a contested terrain between Khan and the Republic.[101] In general Russia supported the Independence of Outer Mongolia (including Tannu Uriankhai) during the time of the Xinhai revolution.[102]

Main article: Xinhai Revolution in Xinjiang

In Xinjiang on December 28 Liu Xianzun (劉先俊) and the revolutionaries started the "Dihua Uprising" (迪化起義).[103] This was led by more than 100 members of Geilaohui.[104] This uprising would fail. On January 7, 1912 the "Yili Uprising" (伊犁起義) with Feng Temin (馮特民) would begin.[103][104] Qing governor Yuan Dahua (袁大化) fled and handed over his resignation to Yang Zengxin because he could not handle fighting the revolutionaries.[105]

In the morning of January 8, a new Yili government would be established for the revolutionaries.[104] But the revolutionaries would be defeated at Jinghe in January and February.[105][106] Eventually because of the abdication to come, Yuan Shikai recognized Yang Zengxin's rule and appointed him Governor of Xinjiang and had the province join the Republic.[105] But 11 more former Qing officials would be assasinated in Zhenxi, Karashahr, Aqsu, Kucha, Luntai and Kashgar in April and May 1912.[105]

Taiwan Uprising

In 1911 as part of the Xinhai revolution, Tongmenghui sent Luo Fu-xing (羅福星) to Taiwan island to free it from being occupied by the Japanese.[107] The goal was to bring Taiwan island back to the Chinese republic by having a "Taiwan Uprising" (台灣起義).[108] Luo was caught and killed on March 3, 1914.[109] What was left was known as the "Miaoli incident" (苗栗事件) where more than 1,000 Taiwanese were executed by the Japanese police.[110] Luo's sacrifice is commemorated in Miaoli.[109]

Change of government

North: Qing court last transformation attempt

On November 1, 1911 the Qing Government appointed Yuan Shikai as the prime minister of the imperial cabinet replacing Prince Qing.[111] On November 3, the Qing court passed the Nineteen Articles (憲法重大信條十九條), which turned the Qing from an autocratic system with the emperor having unlimited power to a constitutional monarchy.[112][113] On November 9, Huang Xing even cabled Yuan Shikai and invited him to join the Republic.[114] The court changes were too late, and the emperor was about to have to step down.

South: Government in Nanking

Main article: Provisional Government of the Republic of China (1912)

On November 28, 1911 Wuchang and Hanyang had fallen back to the Qing army. So for safety the revolutionaries convened their first conference at the British concession in Hankou on November 30.[115] By December 2 the revolutionary forces were able to capture Nanking in the uprising, the revolutionaries decided to make it the site of the new provisional government.[116] At the time Beijing was still the Qing capital.

North-South Conference

On December 18 the "North-South Conference" (南北議和) was held in Shanghai to discuss the north and south issues.[117] Yuan Shikai selected Tang Shaoyi as his representative.[117] Tang left Beijing for Wuhan to negotiate with the revolutionaries.[117] The revolutionaries chose Wu Tingfang.[117] With the intervention of six foreign powers, UK, US, Germany, Russia, Japan, France Tang Shaoyi and Wu Tingfang began to negotiate a settlement at the British concession.[118] Foreign businessman Edward Selby Little (李德立) acted as the negotiator and facilitated the peace agreement.[119] They agreed that Yuan Shikai would force the Qing Emperor to abdicate in exchange for the southern provinces' support of Yuan as the president of the Republic. After considering the possibility that the new republic might be defeated in a civil war or by foreign invasion, Sun Yat-sen agreed to Yuan's proposal to unify China under Yuan Shikai's Beijing government. Further decisions were made to let the emperor rule over his little court in the New Summer Palace. He would be treated as a ruler of a separate country and have expenses of several million taels in silver.[120]

Establishment of the Republic

Republic of China declared and national flag issue

On December 29, 1911 Sun Yat-sen was elected as the first provisional president.[121] January 1, 1912 was set as the first day of the First Year of the Republic of China.[122] On January 3, the representatives recommended Li Yuanhong as the Provisional vice president.[123]

During and after the Xinhai revolution, many groups that participated wanted their own pennant as the national flag. During the Wuchang uprising the military units of Wuchang wanted the 9-star flag with Taijitu.[124] Others in competition include Lu Hao-tung's Blue Sky and White Sun flag. Huang Xing favored a flag bearing the mythical "well-field" system of village agriculture. In the end, the assembly compromised: the national flag would be the banner of Five Races Under One Union.[124] The Five Races Under One Union flag with horizontal stripes represented the five major nationalities of the republic.[125] The red represented Han, the yellow represented Manchus, the blue for Mongols, the white for Tibetans, and black for Muslim.[124][125] Despite the general target of the uprisings to be the Manchus, Sun Yat-sen, Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing unanimously advocated racial integration to be carried out on the frontiers.[126]

Donghuamen incident

On January 16, while returning to his residence, Yuan Shikai was ambushed in a bomb attack organized by the Tongmenghui in Donghuamen (東華門), Tientsin, Beijing.[127] A total of 18 revolutionaries were involved. About 10 of the guards died but Yuan himself was not seriously injured.[127] He sent a message to the revolutionaries the next day pledging his loyalty and asking them to not organize any more assassination attempts against him.

Imperial edict for abdication

Abdication of the emperor

Main article: Puyi § Abdication

On January 20 Wu Tingfang of the Nanking Provisional Government officially delivered the imperial edict of abdication to Yuan Shikai the terms for the abdication of Qing Emperor Xuantong Puyi.[113] It was drafted by Zhang Jian, and was approved by the Provisional senate. On January 22, Sun Yat-sen announced that if Yuan Shikai supported the emperor's abdication, he (Sun Yat-sen) would resign the presidency in favor of Yuan Shikai.[128] After Yuan received this promise, he sped up the process. He threatened Empress Longyu that if the revolutionaries came to Beijing, the lives of the royal family would not be spared, but if they agree to abdicate, the terms for their abdication would be honored.

On February 3, Empress Longyu gave Yuan Shikai full permission to negotiate the terms for the abdication of the Qing Emperor. Yuan then drew up his own version and forwarded it back to the revolutionaries on February 3.[113] His version consist of three sections instead of two.[113] On February 12, 1912, after being persuaded and pressured by Yuan Shikai and other ministers, Puyi (age 6) and Empress Longyu accepted the terms for the Imperial family's abdication.[129]

Change of capital

Dong'anmen gate incident

The revolutionaries were trying to lure Yuan Shikai to the south. By making Yuan the president of the southern Nanking-based provisional government, he would have to give up his military power base in the north.[130] In February 1912, troops were looting shops and stealing from rich commercial areas.[131] They then burned down the Dong'anmen gate (東安門) on the wall surrounding the Imperial City.[130] Thousands of people were killed.[131] This mutiny was actually ordered by Yuan and Cao Kun.[130] Yuan intimidated the revolutionaries and made it clear that the new government would have to go to him in Beijing, he was not going to the south.[131] This was an excuse to move the capital of the new republic from Nanking back to Beijing.

Yuan Shikai sworn as the Provisional president in Beijing

Government in Beijing

Main article: Beiyang Government

On March 10, 1912, Yuan Shikai was sworn as the second Provisional President of the Republic of China in Beijing.[132] The government based in Beijing, called the Beiyang Government, was internationally recognized as the legitimate government of the Republic of China until 1928, so the period from 1912 until 1928 was known simply as the "Beiyang Period". The first National assembly election would take place according to the Provisional constitution. While in Beijing the Kuomintang (KMT) would be formed on August 25, 1912.[133] The KMT would win the majority seats after the election. Song Jiaoren would be elected as premier. However, Song was assassinated in Shanghai on March 20, 1913 under the secret order of Yuan Shikai.[134]

Legacy

Social influence

After the revolution there was a huge outpouring of anti-Manchu literature. Some include Wang Xiuchu's graphical account of the 10 day Chinese massacre in Yangzhou.[135] Another is "A Short History of Slaves" (奴才小史) and "The Biographies of Avaricious Officials and Corrupt Personnel" (貪官污吏傳) by Laoli (老吏).[135][136] Many other literature wrote about the era.[136] During the abdication of the last emperor, Empress Longyu, Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen all tried to adopt the concept of "Manchu and Han as one family" (滿漢一家).[135] But people starting exploring and debating with themselves on the root cause of their national weakness. This new search of identity was the New Culture Movement.[137] Manchu culture and language on the contrary has become virtually extinct by 2007.[138]

Unlike revolutions in the West, the Xinhai Revolution did not restructure society. The participants of Xinhai Revolution were mostly military personnel, old type bureaucrats, and local gentries. These people still held regional power after the Xinhai Revolution. Some became warlords. There were no major improvements in the standard of living. The economic problems were not addressed until Chiang Ching-kuo on Taiwan and Deng Xiaoping on the mainland.[139]

The Xinhai Revolution mainly got rid of feudalism (fengjian) from Late Imperial China era. In the usual view of historians there are two restorations of feudal power after the revolution: first was Yuan Shikai, second was Zhang Xun.[140] Both were unsuccessful. But the "feudal remnants" returned to China with the Cultural Revolution in a concept called guanxi where people relied not on feudal relationships, but personal relationships for survival.[141] While guanxi is helpful in Taiwan, on the mainland guanxi is necessary to get anything done.[142]

Historical significance

The Xinhai Revolution overthrew the Qing government and 2,000 years of monarchy.[2] Throughout Chinese history, old dynasties had always been replaced by new dynasties. The Xinhai Revolution, however, was the first to overthrow a monarchy completely and attempt to establish a Republic to spread democratic ideas throughout China. Though in 1911 at the provisional government welcome ceremony Sun Yat-sen said "The revolution is not yet successful, the comrades still need to strive for the future" (革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力).[143]

After the 1920s, the two dominant parties—the KMT and CPC see the Xinhai Revolution quite differently.[144] Both sides recognize Sun Yat-sen as the Father of the Nation. But in Taiwan, they mean "Father of the Republic of China".[144] The father of New China is seen as Mao Zedong.[144] On the mainland, Sun Yat-sen was seen as the man who just help bring down the Qing, a pre-condition for the Communist state founded in 1949.[144] The PRC views Sun's work as the first step towards the real revolution in 1949, when the communists set up a truly independent state that expelled foreigners and built a military and industrial power.[144] In 1954 Liu Shaoqi was quoted as saying that the "Xinhai Revolution inserted the concept of a republic into common people".[145][146] Zhou Enlai pointed out that "Xinhai Revolution overthrew the Qing rule, ended 2000 years of monarchy, and liberated the mind of people to a great extent, and opened up the path for the development of future revolution. This is a great victory".[147] Much of the differences between the two sides can be seen in the 100th Anniversary of the Republic of China.

Modern evaluation

A change in the belief that the revolution had been a generally positive change began in late 1980s and 1990s. But Zhang Shizhao was quoted as arguing that "When talking about the Xinhai Revolution, the theorist these days tends to overemphasize. The word ‘success’ was way overused".[148]

The success of the democracy gained from the revolution can vary depending on view. Even after the death of Sun Yat-sen in 1925, for 60 years the KMT controlled all five branches of the government; none was independent.[139] Yan Jiaqi founder of the Federation for a Democratic China have said that Sun Yat-sen is to be credited as founding China's first republic in 1912, and the second republic is the people of Taiwan and the political parties there now democratizing the region.[140] In 2011 president Ma Ying-jeou praised the Western political model for the successful democratization of Taiwan.[149]

Meanwhile the ideals of democracy is far from realised on the mainland. For example Chinese premier Wen Jiabao once said in a speech that without real democracy there is no guarantee of economic and political rights. But he led a 2011 crackdown against the peaceful Chinese jasmine protests.[150] Liu Xiaobo, a pro-democracy activist who received the global 2010 Nobel Peace Prize is in prison.[151] Others such as Qin Yongmin (秦永敏) of the Democracy Party of China was only released from prison after 12 years doesn't praise the Xinhai Revolution.[152][153] He said the revolution only replaced one dictator with another, that Mao Zedong was not an emperor, but he is worse than the emperor.[152][153][154]
