论戊戌百日维新忽起忽落的原因及教训

The Reason That Hundred Days Reform(1898) Started and Ended in an Abrupt Way and It's Lesson

戊戌百日维新之所以会“忽起忽落”，是因为康有为不恰当地介入了光绪和慈禧之间的矛盾和斗争。康有为的扶光绪抑慈禧之策，迎合了光绪的某种需要，故戊戌百日维新“忽起”；而所谓的“尊帝讨逆”、救光绪，康有为、谭嗣同谋诛荣禄、兵围颐和园，直接威胁了慈禧的地位，致使戊戌百日维新“忽落”。

The reason that Hundred Days Reform started and ended in an abrupt way was that Kang Yu-wei had been inappropriatively involved in the contridictions and conflicts between the Emperor Guang Xu and CiXi. Kang Yuwei's principle of supporting Guang Xu and suppressing CiXi had met Guang Xu's want and need, hence Hundred Days Reform started suddenly and unexpectedly. Yet the socalled programme of respecting the Emperor and attacking the rebel faction, and Kang Yuwei & Tan Sitong's plot to kill Rong Lu and besiege the Summer Palace with army to save the Emperor, had directly endangered CiXi's status. Their activities resulted in Hundred Days Reform ended quickly.
