Wuchang Uprising refers to a mutiny in Wuchang, Hubei Province, on October 10, 1911 (August 19, the year of Xinhai in the lunar calendar) aimed at overthrowing the rule of the Qing Dynasty. It is also the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution

After the failure of the Huanghuagang Uprising, the revolutionaries, mainly the Literature Society and the Communist Party of China, decided to turn their targets to the Yangtze River basin and prepare to launch a new armed uprising in the two lakes region, with Wuhan as the center. Through the efforts of the revolutionaries, the Wuchang Uprising with epoch-making significance was successfully launched on October 10, 1911 (the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty). The victory of the uprising gradually led to the demise of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the first democratic republic in Asia&mdash& mdash; The Republic of China is the beginning of Asia and China’s move towards a democratic republic, which is a milestone in Chinese history. The military commander of Wuchang Uprising is Jiang Yiwu, the chief of staff is Sun Wu, and the prime minister is Liu Gong. After the insurrectionary army took control of the three towns in Wuhan, the Hubei military government was established. Li Yuanhong was elected as the governor, changed the country name to the Republic of China, and called on the people of all provinces to revolt in response to the 1911 Revolution
