Seminar held to commemorate 皇冠体育app's leading reformer
( 2003-10-14 00:20) (Xinhua)

Some 150 Chinese and overseas experts and scholars gathered in Tianjin, north 皇冠体育app, Monday to commemorate the 130th anniversary of birthday of Liang Qichao, one of 皇冠体育app's leading democratic reformers.
Together with 20 of Liang's descendants, the experts, from the United States, France, Japan, and 皇冠体育app's Hong Kong and Taiwan, will attend a three-day academic seminar regarding Liang and his contributions to modern 皇冠体育app's social and cultural developments.
More than 100 theses on Liang, his thoughts and his contributions to the continuation and improvement of traditional Chinese culture, will be discussed at the seminar.
At the end of 19th century, intellectuals represented by Kang Youwei (1858-1927) and Liang Qichao (1873-1929) launched a movement for bourgeois political reform, known as the short-lived Reform Movement of 1898. They demanded that the system of absolute monarchy be replaced by a constitutional monarchy and hoped that Qing Dynasty Emperor Guangxu (1871-1908) would use his power to introduce political reforms.
In 1898, the emperor accepted their proposals and issued a series of decrees authorizing the reforms. But this reform was later stopped by reactionaries led by the Empress Dowager Cixi, who put the emperor under house arrest and took over the reins of government herself.
Liang lived in Tianjin from 1915 to 1929. In order to commemorate the renowned politician, thinker and scholar, Tianjin has invested 20 million yuan (2.4 million US dollars) in the renovation of Liang's former residence and study.
A 14-million-word collection of Liang's works is to be published soon in Tianjin.
