Guangxu Emperor


The Guangxu Emperor , personal name Zaitian , was the eleventh emperor of the Qing dynasty, and the ninth Qing emperor to rule over China. His reign lasted from 1875 to 1908, but in practice he ruled, under Empress Dowager Cixis influence, only from 1889 to 1898. He initiated the Hundred Days Reform, but was abruptly stopped when the empress dowager launched a coup in 1898, after which he was put under house arrest until his death. His regnal name, Guangxu, means glorious succession.
