谣言作为一种特殊的政治和文化现象,有折射社会现实的一面。清王朝的最后十年,各种谣言蜂起,这些谣言反映出清政府的内部矛盾,官绅民之间的矛盾以及满汉之间的民族矛盾。对于这些谣言,清政府及其官员的防控并不一定都能见效;媒体有时也充当了信谣、传谣的媒介;普通民众则多成了信谣、传谣者,酿成群体性事件。谣言对清王朝统治造成巨大的挑战。 As a special kind of political and cultural phenomenon, rumor reflects the reality of society. In the last decade of the Qing dynasty, all kinds of rumors sprang up. These rumors reflected the internal contradictions of the Qing government, the contradictions between the officials, the gentry and the people and the ethnic contradictions between Manchu and Han. For these rumors, the prevention and control of the Qing government and its officials may not always be able to bear fruit; the media sometimes acts as a medium for rumors and ballads, and the common people have become mostly rumors and rumors, resulting in mass incidents . Rumors pose a huge challenge to the rule of the Qing dynasty.
