| Liang Qichao is a man of the modern time in China. He is one of the most active illuminative ideologists and political critics on the history stage of China at the end of 19th century and the beginning 20th century. His thought has a far-reaching influence to the modern time of China. So far Academia has made deep researches about Liang Qichao himself and many kinds of his ideas. They have made delectable achievements on these aspects, but it shows a pity for the unsystematic research on this aspect which still stays in some biographies and works fragmentarily. As the view implied in this thesis : Diplomatic ideas are a very important component of his ideas on which the systematic research will contribute a lot to the experiences and general understanding of his ideas. In the meanwhile, considering the special relationships between Lian Qichao's whole life and Japan, the issue on the relationships between China and Japan is both an important task for his concern and thinking about unceasingly and a very important part of his diplomatic ideas in which it is of representative. Taking Liang Qichao's diplomatic ideas as a cut-in point, this thesis will deal with deep researches about his diplomatic ideas at the end of Qing Dynasty, prove into the development and change about his diplomatic ideas, and the relationships between the ideas and the interior, expecting that we can grasp and research the experience and panorama of Liang Qichao's ideas more fully and deeply, and supply the gap of the research of Liang Qichao. The failure of the War of Jiawu and the disgrace from the Treaty of Maguan stimulated the Chinese strongly. In the course of the summing up the sorrow lesson of the failure of China, Lian Qichao put forward the diplomatic idea of learning from Japan and associating with Japan. He thought that the reason why Japan became strong from weakness is that they had changed their laws and learned from the west successfully. So Liang Qichao thought that China should imitate Japan to learn from the west to change laws. But we had to study him the heroic spirit, the intent of effort for ruling the region, selecting good for acting and the spirit of advocating power. Only in this way could China improve country diathesis, reached the aim of rebuilding country from up to down. For the foreign policy of "Associating with Japan to resist Russia" in Qing Dynasty, Liang Qichao pointed that the result of this foreign policy only was Russion must enter China, so resisting Russion was the means of saving the nation, so "Associating with Russia to resist Japan" was the way of protecting ourselves. So he had fancied to rely on the power of Japan to help Emperor Guang Xu restore and federate with Japan to resist the threat from Russia, thereby prevent China from being divided by the imperialists. Though Liang Qichao's idea of "Associating with Japan to resist Russia" had its merit of making the advantage of the contradictions between the imperialists, it fell into the track of the traditional policy "Dealing with the foreign with the foreign". The facts had proved that Liang Qichao's wish was only a fantasy out of his own wishful thinking. After the war between Japan and Russia, Britain, France, Russia and Japan had begun to adopt the harmonious and accordant policy with each other in the international activities. Being worried being lagged behind in the partitioning of China, Germany and the USA showed their Friendship frequently to the Qing Administration . While at that moment the Qing Government was imagining to hold back the Japan and Russia conspire of occupying the Northeast of China relying on the foreign power. So the voice, from the government to the citizen, of associating with America and Germany to resist Britain, Japan and Russia was reechoing through out the whole country.In the voice of allying with America and Germany, from the point of view of the world, Liang Qichao made an analysis to the situation of China. He thought, at the circs of imperealism countries treat China as...
