ABSTRACT

An Analysis of the Reasons for the Outbreak of Sichuan Railway-Right Protecting Movement and its Going out of Control The outbreak of Sichuan Railway-Right Protecting Movement and its going out of control was closely related to the mutual estrangement between the imperial court and local bureaucracy in dealing with the local incident. Such estrangement could be seen not only in the central government’s ignorance of the local interests during their decision-making, but also in their hawkish attitude and over-dependence on the central bureaucrats in their dealing with the local and collective event. The imperial power didn’t agree with the local officials on spot of the incident who took a compromising policy to pacify the movement. The central commissioners appointed by the imperial court, although they were far away from the event and lacking the necessary information about the reality and the change of the movement, had directly influenced the central government’s estimation and decision of the whole event. What’s more, there were other missteps and oversights of the central government in appointing the commissioners, arranging the military defense, and choosing the contingents measures etc. All of these made their contributions in turning a local and collective event into a revolution that had led to the final overthrow of Qing Dynasty.
