After the Sino-japanese war, the qing government faces two big problem, one is the shortage of insufficient military strength, the other one is the difficulty of finance. The shortage of insufficient military strength, not only cause the failed of the sino-japanese war, but also even faced the danger of being carved up by other country. The financial difficulties makes the qing government cannot vigorously reforming military and pay reparations to other country. The qing government have to take seriously to the two big problem. the sino-japanese war of losing small Japan, China has prompted the qing government reflect on his policy, determined to reform.Chinese lost all battles in Sino-japanese war.So the qing government let Hu Yu fen to Build Dngwu armies when the sino-japanese war was going on. Although the financial of government is very difficult after the sino-japanese war,but qing government still think that army reform is the most important thing and built new arm which was trained as Western countries, buy some war ship from western countries. But the financial of qing is very difficulties,so she has to cut old troops and try to let the military industries run by the local people.The fiscal of qing government only can maintain basic balance before the sino-japanese war. The sino-japanese war cost a lot of money and qing government pay more war reparation to Japan after the sino-japanese war.Qing government had not so much money,so she had to borrow a lot of money from other country.So qing had to give a lot of repayment to other country. But the revemue still very little,so the fiscal deficit is very big. In order to solve this problem, the qing government cut fiscal revenue and Increase the fiscal expenditure.The qing government has not so high reform initiative in education as the military and economic.After the sino-japanese war, the qing government is mainly built some new academy and improved old academy in this respect. These academy has Chinese and western courses,but they pay more attention to western courses than before. The qing government faced to be parcelled out between 1897 to 1898,so she decided to reform the Imperial examination system.Compared with the Westernization Movement,the qing government has bigger difficult in finance,but the determination of reform is bigger in this reform than the Westernization Movement too.Westernization know well about Westernization,and they hold the real power,so in these two reforms are both a reform program-makers, but also the implementation of the reform program who play a major role.However, because the Qing government's financial is worse than before., so that the reform difficult.On the military side, both from land and sea into land re-light the sea, the Army has in-depth reforms to the system level, while the Navy to stay in the purchase of warships.Economy, mainly by the government-run, became more dependent on private investment, opening the railway to the civil, mining and other fields to set up factories, setting up the railway to the Foreign Affairs decided to set up the period of indecision.Reform period, compared with the Reformation Movement. The rise of the tide divide, international environmental degradation, the Qing government eager to bail out a smooth shift from the radical reform. Reformers as a major reform program-makers, while Westernization is still dominated regime, the policies decided by the specific implementation. Reformists have a more systematic program of comprehensive reform, but does not really solve the financial problems of its reform program with the fantasy, the overall program can not truly fully implemented. In contrast, the current reforms have smooth, but the neglect of political reform, the lack of an overall reform program that greatly reduced the effectiveness of reform.The motivation that qing dynasty decided to reform is other country's force.On one hand the external pressure promoted the qing government reform, on the other hand it also consumes the qing government's political and economic strength.In this reform,sino-japanese war prompted the qing government to reform, but it make the qing government got into financial difficulties too. In this reform, development policy of commerce,industry,military reform for the reform of imperial examination system, the spread of western knowledge, these ways are correct.
