The Boxer Rebellion and The Great Game in China by David J. Silbey

As a group, they are basically autonomous, with no central leader or ranking system. Boxers are believed to have a strange women's organization, mainly called Red Lantern, but are composed of men who can not read and write poorly. Boxers actually follow the philosophy of using physical and religious ceremonies. This allows people to think that they do not receive bullets or physical damage (p. 7). They show off their spiritual martial arts performances in public places and wear beautiful red clothes and belts to show their strength.

Summary and Definition: The boxer's rebellion is an anti-imperialist uprising of Chinese farmers from September 1901 to September 7, 1901, a foreign invader from a foreign religion and a strange culture from China It was aimed to expel. In 1900, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria - the Hungarian Empire, France, Japan, Russia, and Italy alliance were founded to organize interventions in China. The outcome of the boxer 's rebellion was a league victory. The uprising began in a Chinese religious society called "I Ho Chuan" translated into English meaning "a fight of justice and harmony", so the uprising was called a boxer rebellion. Because the original name of the secret society contains the word 'ch'uan' meaning fists, rebel factions are called boxers by foreigners - hence the name of the boxer rebellion

Boxer officially supported the farmers' uprising in 1900 with rebels and tried to expel all foreigners from China. "Boxer" is a name given by a foreigner to the secret society of China "Lee Boxing" ("Justice and Harmony Fist"). The group practiced some rituals of boxing and aerobics. It is thought to be a division of the Gossip Association (Bagua Reef) which caused rebellion against Qing from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. Their original purpose was to destroy dynasties and Westerners who enjoyed privileged status in China.

The Qing Dynasty had been in power for 12 years, but the boxer movement was a serious recession and weakened the already vulnerable regime. Boxer movement and its failure can be regarded as one of the many factors China's last Imperial dynasty collapsed in 1912. Boxer movement is a military movement trying to strengthen China by expelling foreign forms of various forms. Boxers are military and spiritual forces, and their dependence on traditional mental habits will ultimately ensure that they will defeat good European and American powers. In 1900, when the Solidarity Alliance of Dowager Cixi and Yihe of the Empire fought against Europe, the US military intended to contain the invasion of rebellion, the boxer's rebellion quickly led to a greater war. But, after all, the boxer was defeated.
