The slogan of the Reform Movement of 1898 was "reform for strength". The Reform Movement of 1898 promoted the self-reform of the Qing government politically. It aroused people's antipathy to the Manchu government and promoted the transformation of intellectuals from reform to revolution. China's ideological emancipation movement was promoted ideologically. It became a prelude to the historical process promoted by the May 4th New Culture Movement.

Reformists only dare to talk about "civil rights" and admit that the people have the right to participate in managing politics, but they dare not talk about "democracy" and refuse to admit that the people are the masters of the country and society. After the Reform Movement of 1898, the democratic trend of thought was fully developed.
