In order to maintain the rule of the Qing dynasty, the landlord class westernization school tried to "learn from foreigners to control foreigners" and promote the westernization movement. At the end of 19, the bourgeois reformists, represented by Kang and Liang, combined learning western culture with resisting aggression, saving the nation from peril, implementing constitutional monarchy and developing capitalism, which promoted the development of the reform trend into a patriotic national salvation movement. At this time, Emperor Guangxu, with the intention of seizing the supreme power and not being the "king of national subjugation", launched reformists to carry out political reform. The "Reform Movement of 1898" has just ended, and the Boxer Rebellion, as the general outbreak of ethnic contradictions, has begun in Shandong. The slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries" not only embodies the revolutionary and class limitations of the peasant class, but also highlights the intensification of the contradiction between the Chinese nation and imperialism. When imperialism formed Eight-Nation Alliance to invade China, the Qing government took "appeasement" before "repression". The boxer movement failed under the joint strangulation of Chinese and foreign reactionary forces.
