The Boxers who had the slogan of 'Rescue the Qing Dynasty and Defeat Western Europe' lost their hope in the Qing dynasty and changed it to 'Overthrow Qing, Destroy the Foreigners' (There were other versions such as 'flatten Qing' or 'oppose Qing'). それまで「扶清滅洋」を旗印にしていた義和団は、清朝に失望し「掃清滅洋」(清を掃〔はら〕い洋を滅すべし)と変えるに至った(他に「清を平らぐ」、「清に反〔そむ〕く」などのバージョンもある)。 |
