Abstract As an important component of the reform on the political structure in the late Qing Dynasty, the local bureaucratic system had changed greatly in this reform and started to transform to its modernization. However, as an adjustment of both the Center's and the Locality's benifits, the influence of the reform has gone beyond the scope of organ's structure and function and stimulated lots of mew problems. On one hand, the reform offended the present power of those local governor generals, which engendered acute contradiction between the Center and the Locality; on the other hand, in the reform, many traditional local intellectuals fostered their local consciousness and were encouraged to participate into the politics. As a result, both the governor generals and the local intellectuals deviated from the Qing Government, which extended the function of the XinHai Revolution and had great advantage over its breakout and outcome. However, the expanded localism during the course of the reform resulted in the expansion of the local regime and produced some unstable factors to the NanJing Temporary Government, which was an important reason to the loss of the XinHai Revollution's outcome.
