Talk:Guangxu Emperor

3-day emperor?
Any truth to a 3-day emperor in 1899, as at List of shortest reigning monarchs of all time?--Pharos 20:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * There's an article zh:保庆帝 at the Chinese Wikipedia on this person. It would be great if someone familiar with the language could look at it.  Thanks.--Pharos 21:17, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll also note that regnal name "Bao Qing" is also the first part of the "Protect the Qing, destroy the foreign" slogan popular in the contemporaneous Boxer Rebellion.--Pharos 21:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Weird photo
There is a photo of three men on this article, and the the one at the middle is identified as Guangxu. Is it truly correct? It doesn't make sense that the Emperor of China is dressed like the other men and in such informal look. --Lecen (talk) 20:04, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Prince Gong's son

 * "On 12 January 1875, Zaitian's cousin, the Tongzhi Emperor, died without a son. Empress Dowager Ci'an suggested Prince Gong's son to be the next Emperor, but she was overruled by Cixi. Instead, breaking the imperial convention that a new emperor must always be a generation after that of the passing emperor, Cixi suggested her nephew and the imperial family agreed with this choice"

Wouldn't Prince Gong's son be in the same generation as Tongzhi and Guangxu? They were all grandsons of Emperor Daoguang.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:06, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

 * This famous play is a good fictional resource for seeing how later Chinese perceived the situation in 1900. ch (talk) 22:43, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually i knew full well it was a play because i already posted it here noting that fact. I meant to put another link (another century primary source, not this play) on this talk page and copied the wrong link by accident.Rajmaan (talk) 03:33, 29 November 2012 (UTC)


 * ok, i just lost the primary source i meant to put in here and can't find it.Rajmaan (talk) 03:35, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Relevant source not used
There's some material relevant to the Guangxu Emperor's imprisonment in Johnston's book, "Twilight in the Forbidden City". Johnston was the tutor of the last emperor, Puyi, for several years and had opportunities to inspect the quarters where the Guangxu Emperor was living when he died. I'm not competent to integrate this material with the article myself because I'm not familiar with the other sources, but it does need to be taken into consideration.
