Abstract
It is well-known that, at the end of the 19th century, the most important problem for China was to transform the despotic dynasty system into modern national system and to modernize her society. Constitutional and local autonomy systems were adopted during the transformation. However, after the 1911 revolution. the modernization process turned in a different direction. Whereas centralized system was always intended during nation-building process. opposing trend towards decentralization of powers always arose and confronted with it. Of course. the action that strengthened directionality that put meanwhile and maintained and strengthened an integral character of China worked completely. Moreover. because of trying for central power to infiltrate the rule and the administration by the provinces further. Then. why will such a situation be brought? In that case. were" Center" and"Provinces"any relations to each other? In this paper. I will advance the examination through the consideration of the political procedure that arrives from late imperial China in the 1920's.
