Features: After the vast Chinese Empire was defeated by the "insignificant island nation" Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War, it had to face reality. It sent a large number of students to study in Japan to explore the path to Japan's prosperity and strength; at the same time, it hired a large number of Japanese experts to China as consultants for the late Qing reforms. During this period of social transformation and organizational innovation, Japan had a profound impact on China. This book focuses on this, conducting in-depth research on cultural imitation, organizational transplantation, and more. The author, Professor Ren Da, is proficient in both Chinese and Japanese. Based on extensive research and a wealth of materials, he examines the major social trends, popular vocabulary, educational systems, military systems, judicial systems, and other aspects of China from 1898 to 1912, providing detailed source tracing and comparative studies of "organizational transplantation." This will be of great significance for us to understand the turbulent history of modern China and the future direction of this history.
