Advisory Council (Qing dynasty)
The Advisory Council (Chinese: 資政院) was a preparatory body for the parliament established in 1910. It was part of the New Policies in the late Qing dynasty, of which the Qing court was moving toward the setting up of a constitution. In July 1907, Emperor Guangxu promulgated a decree on the setting up of the Advisory Council, following by the provincial Consultative Councils in October. In October 1909, the first Qing parliamentary election was held, and the Council was inaugurated in September 1910.[1] After the Xinhai Revolution, it was dissolved in 1912 and was replaced by the Provisional National Assembly of the Republic of China.
