The six gentlemen of the Hundred Days' Reform also the six gentlemen martyrs (of the Hundred Days' Reform) (, literally "the six gentlemen of 1898") refers to a group of six Chinese intellectuals who the Empress Dowager Cixi allegedly had arrested and executed for their attempts to implement the Hundred Days' Reform. The most vocal and prominent member in the group of six was Tan Sitong. Kang Guangren is also notable as he was Kang Youwei's younger brother, and his execution was ordered because of his connection to his brother's ideology. These executions were a part of the large purge in which about 30 men were arrested, imprisoned, dismissed from office, or banished. In many cases the family members of these men were arrested as well.〔Seagrave, Sterling, and Peggy Seagrave. Dragon Lady: The Life and Legend of the Last Empress of China. New York: Knopf, 1992. 239. Print.〕 On September 21, 1898, after growing intolerance of the Guangxu Emperor's hundred days' reform, Ci Xi and Rong Lu (榮祿) successfully attempted a coup d'état in which all substantive power was taken from the Guangxu Emperor and assumed by Ci Xi, and the six troublesome reformers influencing Guangxu were arrested.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Six Gentlemen of the Hundred Days Reform - China culture )〕 The traditional view is that Ci Xi was the main instigator of these executions, however evidence has surfaced that the conservative "Iron Hat" faction might have threatened her by having a Chinese-Muslim army close to Beijing.〔Seagrave, 238.〕 The six stood trial on September 28 and were beheaded at Caishikou in Beijing. The six were beheaded in the following order: Kang Guangren, Yang Shenxiu, Yang Rui, Lin Xu, Tan Sitong, and Liu Guangdi. Their names are: *Tan Sitong () *Lin Xu () *Yang Rui () *Yang Shenxiu () *Liu Guangdi () *Kang Guangren () ==See also== *Hundred Days' Reform *Guangxu Emperor *Empress Dowager Cixi *Kang Youwei *May Fourth Movement 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Six gentlemen of the Hundred Days' Reform」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
