By examining specific people and case studies of the legal, medical, and education system in Late Qing, this paper argues that a system of foreign imperial ideas, a western-centric ideology which favored the linear progression towards modernity, contributed to the downfall of the monarchic Manchu Regime. These specific examples include books, Lidai Shilue and Lishi Jiaokeshu, the infamous sanitary reform in Tianjin and the implementation of American law.
