试论清末广东咨议局的性质

On the nature of GuangDong Advisory Bureau in the late Qing Dynasty

1909年,作为清政府"预备立宪"骗局产物之一的咨议局相继在各省成立。由于特殊的原因,广东咨议局在许多方面显得与众不同。从选举、活动等方面可以看出,广东咨议局既代表了封建官僚和资产阶级上层的利益,是清朝"装饰门面"的产物,又在某种意义上具有"代议机关"的性质。

In 1909, as a result of the swindle of pre-establishment of constitution by the Qing Dynasty, Advisory Bureaus were established in each province one after another. Owing to some special conditions, GuangDong Advisory Bureau was very different from others. Its election and activities showed that while representing the interests of feudalist bureaucrats and upper class capitalists, and as something for appearance of the government, GuangDong Advisory Bureau also served as a kind of representative organization in a sense.
