The Boxer Rebellion began in the 26th year of Guangxu, that is, 1900, which was the product of the increasingly serious national crisis after the Sino-Japanese War. The Boxer Rebellion originated from private secret organizations such as the Boxer Rebellion, Plum Blossom Boxing and Broadsword Club. 1In the second half of 899, Shandong Boxer took the lead in putting forward the slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries", and in the following year, it developed rapidly to North China and Northeast China, with great momentum in Beijing and Tianjin.

The Boxer Rebellion can be characterized by the following four words: patriotism and anti-imperialism. The attitude of the Qing government towards the Boxer Rebellion can be summed up by the word "utilization", which was finally finalized by Empress Dowager Cixi at several "command meetings". Therefore, in some areas, the Qing army once cooperated with the Boxer Rebellion, and the Qing court even set up Minister Ying Yong to control the Boxer Rebellion. The Qing government used the Boxer Rebellion based on the Boxer Rebellion and patriotism. However, when Eight-Nation Alliance ravaged Beijing, the Qing government was forced to sign the "Xin Chou Treaty", and the Boxer Rebellion was immediately suppressed, so the slogan was changed to "Sweep away foreign countries". Obviously, the Boxer Rebellion, composed of farmers and manual workers, is absolutely unambiguous in its policy of "patriotism and anti-imperialism" from beginning to end. The weaknesses and shortcomings of the Boxer Rebellion and some cruel measures taken against foreigners have led to the conclusion that the Boxer Rebellion is "anti-civilization and anti-humanity", which means that the Boxer Rebellion is "a national humiliation that China people cannot forget". The result of this discussion can be described as "only seeing the trees, not seeing the forest" and "picking up the grass and losing the watermelon", which not only violates historical facts, but also leaves a lot of room for discussion on the standpoint, viewpoint and attitude of historical research.

The historical orientation of the Boxer Rebellion should be patriotism and anti-imperialism. In order to oppose imperialist aggression against China (specifically, Eight-Nation Alliance killed innocent people, raped and plundered China, and committed all kinds of evils), he made many sacrifices. This is the historical subject of the Boxer Rebellion, touching and illuminating the earth. I think that even if the Boxer Rebellion has a hundred stupid, rude and reprehensible things, it can't hide its glory of "patriotism and anti-imperialism". This principle also applies to the resistance movement of any invaded country in the world. The boxer in ancient China and the Iraqi resistance fighters today have the same nature and the same reason.
