The Wuchang Uprising was an important part of a series of revolutionary events in the Xinhai Revolution.
Historically, 1911 is the third year of the Qing Dynasty's proclamation, and it is the year of Xinhai in the Chinese lunar calendar.
On October 10, 1911, an armed uprising broke out in Wuchang, Hubei Province, aimed at overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, which was the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution. This was the decision of the revolutionaries to turn their sights to the Yangtze River valley and prepare for a new armed uprising in the Lianghu region, with Wuhan as the center.
Through the efforts of the revolutionaries, the Wuchang Uprising was successfully launched on October 10, 1911 (the third lunar year of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty). The victory of the uprising led to the demise of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the first democratic republic in Asia, China. The Xinhai Revolution is a milestone in Chinese history. It marks the demise of the old feudal dynasty and the creation of a new democracy.
Broadly speaking, a series of armed uprisings and revolutionary movements that took place in the Xinhai year and successfully overthrew the Qing Dynasty. The Xinhai Revolution in the narrow sense refers to the revolutionary events that occurred in China during the period before and after the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising on the night of October 10, 1911 and the period before and after the reign of Mr. Sun Yat-sen in 1912.
