Kakokai - Kakokai

One of the nationalistic revolutionary groups that emerged in China at the end of the Qing Dynasty. After the Boxer Rebellion (1900), as Chinese intellectuals, such as students studying in Japan, became revolutionary, revolutionary organizations were formed all over China. In Hunan Province, in February 1904, Huaxing Society was formed in the provincial capital (Changsha) by over 500 people, including Song Jiaoren and Chen Tianhua, with Huang Xing as chairman. Aiming to "establish a stronghold in one province and cause trouble in other provinces," they teamed up with a secret society (a faction of the Ge Lao Hui) to form the Dokyuu Society, and planned an armed uprising against the Qing Dynasty in November, but their plan was leaked in advance and they failed, so Huang, Song and others fled to Japan. The following year, when various revolutionary factions came together to form the China Tongminghui in Tokyo, the Huaxinghui became one of its influential constituent organizations.

清(しん)末の中国に発生した民族主義的な革命団体の一つ。義和団事件（1900）後に、日本に留学していた学生など中国のインテリゲンチャが革命化するにつれて、中国各地に革命組織がつくられていったが、湖南省では1904年2月に黄興(こうこう)を会長に、宋教仁(そうきょうじん)、陳天華(ちんてんか)ほか500余名が結集して、省都（長沙(ちょうさ)）に華興会が組織された。「一省に雄拠し各地と紛起する」ねらいをもって、秘密結社（哥老(かろう)会の一派）と組み、同仇(どうきゅう)会を組織して、11月に反清(はんしん)武装蜂起(ほうき)を企てたが、事前に計画が漏れて失敗に終わり、黄・宋らは日本に亡命した。翌年、革命諸派が結集して、東京で中国同盟会が組織されたとき、華興会も有力な構成団体の一つとなった。
