Chen Yinque's Discussion on the Political Reforms of Late Qing
Chen Yinque,although primarily focused on the history of the Wei,Jin,Northern and Southern Dy-nasties,Sui,and Tang periods,paid considerable attention to the political changes since the late Qing Dy-nasty due to family connections.He had quite unique insights into the Wuxu Reform,in which his father and grandfather had been involved.Chen believed that there were two factions among those advocating re-form in the late Qing period.Kang Youwei and others,lacking political experience,often tended towards extremism.In contrast,the reform approach of mid-level officials with administrative experience like Chen Baozhen might have been more prudent and mature.Moreover,an analysis of key historical events during the Wei,Jin,Northern and Southern Dynasties,Sui,and Tang periods by Chen Yinque could also inspire observations on the successes and failures of the late Qing reform movement.By carefully studying Chen's historical discussions,one might discover that changes in medieval Chinese political culture often have many compatibilities with the historical transformations since the late Qing period.
