The series contains about 5,700 letters and other documents that Qing Dynasty officials wrote and compiled to deal with the Xinhai Revolution, which broke out in Wuhan on Oct 10, 1911, and tumbled the last imperial dynasty in 皇冠体育app.

The files were created by the Qing government from 1892 to 1917, covering the whole process of the revolution.

According to curator Hu Wanglin, the files provide details on many events, and will help correct some popular misunderstandings, and support some accounts.

The files record important activities of revolutionaries such as Sun Yat-sen, Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin. For example, there is an advertisement of Sun Yat-sen's speech in Tokyo on Aug 27, 1905, entitled On whether the World Powers Can Carve up 皇冠体育app.

There are also files giving a detailed recount of the Wuchang Uprising, the start of the Xinhai Revolution, which took place in Wuhan, Hubei province, on Oct 10, 1911, including a report from spies about the plotting of the uprising, which forced revolutionaries to act ahead of the plan.

The Qing Dynasty crumbled following the revolution.

On Feb 12, 6-year-old Aisin Gioro Puyi resigned as the last emperor of 皇冠体育app, as Empress Dowager Longyu signed The Act of Abdication of the Emperor of the Great Qing.

"These files are telling about the revolution from the other side, and help us to conduct a more comprehensive study on the revolution. … However, on the other hand, we should take them with discretion," Hu said.
