There are some unambiguous readers who are convinced of the publicly known scandalization and slander of the Boxer Rebellion in recent years. But if we can calmly think about why china has experienced many dynastic changes and many foreign invasions in its thousand-year history, why did the Boxer Rebellion, which was only in 1900, a bottom-up, cross-regional, and widespread participation of the people, emerge?

Let's analyze the deeper reasons.

"Extremely inclusive" is a major feature of Chinese civilization. Chinese civilization does not exclude any foreign nationality in essence, as long as this nation joins the rules of the game of Chinese civilization, it can become a member of the Chinese nation. Therefore, among the high-ranking officials in the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty were Japanese, people of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and people from Central Asia and even Europe. As long as they respected the operating rules of Chinese civilization, participated in the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty and achieved good results, they could become officials in the Tang Dynasty. Later, the Yuan Dynasty only changed an emperor on the land of China, or deduced according to the operating rules of Chinese civilization, or held an imperial examination, or tested Confucian culture. Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus themselves were a new ethnic group of Chinese border people (including Han, Jurchen, Korean, Orunchun, Mongol, Hezhe, etc.). Nurhaci was originally a Ming Dynasty Dragon and Tiger General, and after entering the Central Plains, even the Imperial Examination was still used in the Ming Dynasty's Eight Strands.

This is how Chinese civilization continued to integrate fresh blood, until after the Opium War, people with strong ships and cannons and another faith came from the West. These invaders did not think of integrating into Chinese civilization, and their methods were to set up churches, develop catholics, and propagate doctrines... It is necessary to incorporate Chinese civilization into their Christian civilization and even eliminate Chinese civilization. They did not adopt an attitude of tolerance and respect towards different civilizations. They have eliminated the Mayan civilization, the Astek civilization, the Indian civilization, the Indian civilization and the ancient African civilization, and now they are ready to deal with the Chinese civilization in the same way.

The Boxer Rebellion was one of the most superficial, direct, and even disorderly expressions of resistance given to them by Chinese civilization.

Those who directly participated in or observed the Boxer Rebellion, and even the foreigners, the opponents of the Boxer Rebellion, through this great and vigorous movement, have clearly seen a fact: the carriers of this batch of Chinese civilization, the hot-blooded descendants of Yanhuang, if they are slightly guided by the wisdom group among them, they can form an indestructible shock force. History has also proved this, 20 years later, in a hot July in Shanghai, a group of wisdom of the Chinese nation was born. After more than 20 years, this group of wisdom led all the descendants of Yanhuang to establish a powerful country standing in the East.

From the very beginning of the country's founding, North Korea gave the eight-nation alliance (this time the 16-nation alliance) a taste of the power of the condensed power of Chinese civilization.

Zhou En: "The Boxer Rebellion of 1900 was precisely the manifestation of the stubborn resistance of the Chinese people against imperialist aggression, and their heroic struggle was one of the cornerstones of the great victory of the Chinese people fifty years later. ”
