And abolished many bad habits. Such as foot binding and other bad habits. Abolishing these bad habits is also a step closer to civilized society and is also the aspiration of the people. Due to the influence of foreign culture, the Qing Dynasty realized its backwardness and made many changes. Both customs and other aspects are slowly changing. For example, it belongs to the Westernization Movement and the 1898 Reform Movement.
Westernization movement is to learn how to make advanced western utensils. Some factories, such as Jiangnan manufacturing bureau, have also been set up, and the slogan people shouted is to learn from foreigners and manage foreigners. However, it was later discovered that such superficial things as optics could not change the situation of poverty and weakness in the Qing Dynasty.
Later, the Reform Movement of 1898 began, but it was stopped by Empress Dowager Cixi. It was not successfully implemented in the end. It only lasted a hundred days.
All the six gentlemen in the Reform Movement of 1898 were executed by Empress Dowager Cixi. The road to national salvation is blocked. Empress dowager cixi was selfish. Afraid of losing one's position and preventing change. In the end, the Qing dynasty lost the opportunity and was divided up by the last powers. So Empress Dowager Cixi is the chief culprit of modern disasters. In the end, the Qing dynasty was drowned in the torrent of history because he did not completely change, and some people blocked the change. Too complacent, eventually eliminated by the times.
