| | info: GUANGXU EMPEROR OF CHINA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | The Guangxu Emperor (August 14, 1871—November 14, 1908), born Zaitian(??), was the tenth emperor of the Manchu Qing dynasty, and the ninth Qing emperor to rule over China, his reign lasting from 1875 to 1908, but in practice ruling from 1890 to 1898. |
 | | Instead, breaking the imperial convention that a new emperor must always be a generation later to the passing emperor, Cixi suggested Prince Chun's son Zaitian and the imperial family agreed with this choice. |
 | | Returning to the Forbidden City after the withdrawal of western powers, Guangxu was known to have spent the next few years working with watches and clocks in his isolated palace, which had been a childhood fascination, some say in an effort to pass the time until the death of the Empress Dowager. |
