Features: This book presents the author's systematic discussions and detailed analyses of major ideologies and important figures in modern China from the Taiping Rebellion to the Xinhai Revolution, including Kang Youwei, Tan Sitong, Yan Fu, Sun Yat-sen, Zhang Taiyan, Lu Xun, and others. The first chapter analyzes from an ideological perspective why the Taiping Rebellion "rose abruptly and fell suddenly," pointing out the many regular phenomena in peasant revolutionary wars, and it is deeply meaningful. The following chapters provide detailed distinctions on the ideas and figures of the Wuxu Reform and the New Culture Movement, with high praise for Kang Youwei's concept of the Great Harmony and his strategy of reforming by invoking ancient traditions. Additionally, the special status of Yan Fu in modern Chinese intellectual history, the prominent features of Zhang Taiyan's populism, the intellectual journey of early 20th-century scholars from patriotism to revolution, and the unique significance of figures like Liang Qichao and Wang Guowei are either elaborately or briefly clarified and discussed.
