The Boxer Rebellion was a non-governmental organization in the late Qing Dynasty, which developed from the Boxers, folk secret societies and martial arts organizations in Shandong and Zhili. The Boxer Rebellion, also known as the "Gengzi Incident", was, in a sense, a general outbreak of various contradictions in Chinese society since the 40s of the 19th century.

The leader of the Boxers was Hong Xiuquan.

The Boxers did not have any precise leaders because they were a civil organization.

The Boxer Rebellion was formed in the 25th year of Guangxu (1899).

The Boxer Rebellion was a mixed organization of folk martial arts groups and secret sects in the late Qing Dynasty, which was formed by the combination and development of folk secret societies such as the Great Key Filial Piety Knife Raid Digging Society (Golden Bell Jar), Yihequan, Shenquan Manuscript Zen Manuscript and Plum Blossom Boxing, and was the backbone of the Boxer Rebellion.

The composition of the Boxer Rebellion was extremely complex, including poor peasants, handicraftsmen, urban poor, petty traders, transport workers and other lower-class people, as well as some officials and soldiers, rich gentry and even princes and nobles.

The reason for the formation of the Boxers

At the end of the 19th century, various imperialists frantically invaded China's border areas and neighboring countries, and a new crisis emerged in China's border areas. After the First Sino-Japanese War, the imperialists exported a large amount of capital to China economically, and politically forcibly occupied "leased land" and divided "spheres of influence", setting off an upsurge of carving up China.

Culturally, they went deep into the cities and villages of China through the church to carry out aggressive activities, which made the national crisis more serious, and finally broke out in the Boxer Rebellion. There were many reasons for the rise of the Boxer Rebellion, the most important of which was the increasingly fierce contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation.

Since the Sino-Japanese War, China has fallen into the situation of being divided by the imperialist powers, and the imperialists have intensified their political and economic aggression against China, deepening China's national crisis, causing the vast number of Chinese people to suffer deeply, and becoming the fundamental reason for the rise of the Boxer Rebellion.

The Boxer Rebellion was born at the end of the 19th century, and it is difficult to say exactly what year it was.

The root cause of the outbreak of the Boxer Rebellion: At the end of the 19th century, various imperialists frantically invaded China's border areas and neighboring countries, and a new crisis emerged in China's border areas. After the First Sino-Japanese War, the imperialists exported a large amount of capital to China economically, and politically forcibly occupied "leased land" and divided "spheres of influence", setting off an upsurge of carving up China.

Culturally, they went deep into the cities and villages of China through the church to carry out aggressive activities, which made the national crisis more serious, and finally broke out in the anti-imperialist patriotic movement of the Boxer Rebellion.

Fuse: In early October 1899, in Jiangjiazhuang, Guanxian County, Shandong Province (now Wei County, Hebei Province), clashes broke out between parishioners and local people, and the Boxers stormed the local church. Jiang Kai, the magistrate of the county, sent troops to suppress it.

Zhu Honglan led hundreds of people to fight the Qing army and defeated it. To this day, there is still a proverb in the countryside of the plains: "The Boxers rose from the plains, and it spread everywhere in less than three months." “

There are various theories about the origin of the Boxers.

1. The White Lotus Sect said that the representative of this view is Lao Naixuan's "Examination of the Origin of the Boxer Sect". It is believed that the Boxers originated from the White Lotus Sect.

2. The Dadaohui said that the Dadaohui was a group dominated by poor peasants in northern China in the Qing Dynasty, and its members practiced the "Golden Bell Jar" and believed that it could be invulnerable, which is also considered to be one of the origins of the Boxer Rebellion.

3. According to the Township League, some people believe that the Boxer Rebellion originated from the folk Township League organization.

4. The boxing club said that in the Qing Dynasty, there were many folk groups that spread martial arts, such as Yihequan and Meihuaquan, especially Yihequan was covered with a strong folk religious color in the long-term development. It is considered to be the predecessor of the Boxer Rebellion.

His former name was Boxer. It was initiated by Hong Xiuquan. The end result was requisition.

It was first initiated by Shandong Zhao Sanduo.

The result was a failure: due to the limitations of the peasant class itself, and the Qing Dynasty and foreign coalition forces were killed.
