Today we publish a set of photos of the late Qing Dynasty, in which the people recorded have had a major impact on history after the fall of the late Qing Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty. Their deeds have appeared in the history textbooks of middle schools and universities, and we are not strangers to them, so let's take a look.
In 1896, Chen Yinke and his brothers and sisters patrolled Yamen in Hunan.
This photo was taken in the back garden of The Gate of Hunan Province, and from left are Chen Kangqian, Chen Longke, Chen Xinwu, Chen Fangke, and Chen Yinke. They lived with their grandfather, Chen Baozhen, who was the governor of Hunan.
Chen Baozhen was a clean and honest official, capable of handling affairs, and made great achievements in his post as inspector of Hunan, actively promoting the new policies, such as running newspapers and periodicals, advocating new studies, and sending students abroad; mining deposits, setting up factories, and developing industries; and so on. In the originally conservative Hunan Province, it has made remarkable achievements in pragmatic restoration, showing a vigorous new atmosphere.
In 1899, Chen Baozhen and his grandchildren were in Nanchang, and the second from the left was Chen Yinke.
In 1898, during the Penghu ReformAtion, Chen Baozhen sponsored Yang Rui and Liu Guangdi to participate in the New Deal. Soon, the change of law failed, Empress Dowager Cixi hunted down and killed the "Six Gentlemen", and Chen Baozhen was immediately dismissed from his post for "abusing the bandits" and never used them. His son Chen Sanli (chen yinke's father), the head of the bureaucracy, was also dismissed from his post. Since then, the Chen family has withdrawn from the political arena, and their children have engaged in cultural, educational or other work.
In 1906, Zhang Zhidong inspected the Beijing-Hankou Railway.
Zhang Zhidong attached great importance to the construction of railways during his tenure as governor of Huguang, saying: "Railways are the first important end for self-improvement. "The West is rich and strong, and Yugan is here." He proposed the construction of the Beijing-Hankou Railway and undertook the supervision work. Construction of the Beijing-Hankou Railway began at the end of 1898, and in April 1906, the entire line was completed and opened to traffic, with a total length of 1214 kilometers.
In 1871, Li Shanlan and his students.
At the time of this photo, Li Shanlan was the chief instructor of astronomy at the Beijing Normal Tongwenguan. He was a well-known mathematician, astronomer, mechanics and botanist in modern China, who founded the power series expansion formula of the quadratic square root, and studied the power series expansion formulas of various trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions and logarithmic functions (now known as the "natural number power summation formula"), which were the most important achievements of the Chinese mathematical community in the 19th century.
From 1868 onwards, Li Shanlan focused his attention on mathematical education and research until his death in 1882. During this period, the students taught have been about 100 people, "oral finger painting, more than ten years like a day." All beings are effective in their studies, or they are officials and provinces, or they are heavy on the ocean."
In 1907, Kang Youwei was in San Francisco, USA.
After the failure of the Penghu Reform Law, Kang Youwei first fled to Japan for refuge, and later to North America to organize the "Company to Protect and Save the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" (i.e., the Royalist Society and the Royalist Party). Subsequently, he sent his disciples to the United States, Mexico, South America, Australia, Southeast Asia, and even South Africa, establishing 11 general associations and 103 chapters with millions of members.
Kang Youwei raised donations from overseas Chinese in the name of "royalist" and then used these donations to live a life of leisure. He once bought a small island in stockholm's Dune Baden region and built a Chinese-style garden on the island, named "Beihai Caotang". In 1906, he was selling land in Mexico, only to lose all his money as a result of the bursting of the housing bubble. He also started hotels, steamship companies, bookstores and other industries, most of which ended in failure.
In 1903, Lu Xun cut his braids not long ago.
In 1902, at the age of 21, Lu Xun studied in Japan at the official expense and entered the Jiangnan class of The Kobun Academy in Tokyo to learn Japanese. Lu Xun, who had embraced new knowledge and had a wide-eyed vision, became increasingly resentful of the decaying Qing Dynasty, so in early 1903 he resolutely cut off the long braids that symbolized the Manchu Tradition, showing his unruly side. However, after returning home, he made a compromise and installed false braids. It was not until the fall of the Qing Dynasty that he happily "raised his head and showed his head" and shouted "Not happy".
Timothy Lee and his wife, the shooting time is unknown.
The British missionary Timothy Lee came to China in 1870 to engage in missionary and educational work, and did not return to China until 1916, where he spent nearly half a century. Timothy Lee made extensive friends with people from all walks of life and had close relations with celebrities such as Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Zeng Guoquan, Zuo Zongtang, Kang Youwei, and Sun Yat-sen.
In 1902, when a teaching case occurred in Shanxi, Empress Dowager Cixi asked Timothy Lee to assist in handling it, and afterwards she also asked him to open a Shanxi University Hall; she gave him a head to wear, a second-class double dragon treasure star, and was ennobled for three generations. In the photograph, Timothy Lee and his wife were dressed in the costumes of Qing officials and Han Women at that time, as if they were naturalized.
