The Guangxu Emperor, also known by his temple name Emperor Dezong of Qing, personal name Zaitian, was the tenth and penultimate emperor of the Qing dynasty and the ninth Qing emperor to rule over China proper. His succession was endorsed by dowager empresses Ci'an and Cixi after the Tongzhi Emperor died without an heir. Cixi held political power for much of his reign as regent, except for the period between his assumption of ruling powers in 1889 and the Hundred Days' Reform in 1898.
