Hu-fa yun-dong; Hu-fa yün-tung

Japanese: 護法運動 - ごほううんどう（英語表記）Hu-fa yun-dong; Hu-fa yün-tung

A movement to protect the republic in the early days of the Republic of China. After the sudden death of Yuan Shikai in 1916, the National Assembly and the Old Covenant Law (→Covenant Law) were restored, but the power of the Beiyang warlords, centered around Prime Minister Duan Qirui, remained. Sun Yat-sen then led the navy to Guangdong, where he organized the Southern Military Government in September 1917, and launched the War to Protect the Law, advocating the protection of the republic. Meanwhile, Duan's politics, which were backed by Japan, were criticized by public opinion, and he resigned in October 1918, plunging the country into a state of chaos among the warlords. However, conflicts between the warlords became evident in the south as well, and the military government collapsed at the end of 1919, and the movement to protect the law, which aimed for national unification, became nominal.

中国，民国初期の共和制擁護の運動。 1916年，袁世凱の急死後，国会と旧約法 (→約法 ) が復活されたが，国務総理段祺瑞を中心とする北洋軍閥の勢力が残存していた。そこで孫文は海軍を率いて広東におもむき，17年9月南方軍政府を組織し，共和制擁護を主張し護法戦争を起した。一方，日本を背景とした段の政治は世論の指弾を受け，18年 10月辞職し，軍閥混戦状態に入った。しかし南方でも軍閥対立が顕著となり，19年末に軍政府は瓦解し，全国統一を指向した護法運動は名目化していった。
