The Advisory Council or Political Advisory Council[3] (Chinese: 資政院), also known as the Government Advisory Council[4] or Political Advisory Board,[5] 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 implementation of a constitution. In July 1907, the Guangxu Emperor promulgated a decree on the setting up of the Advisory Council, following by the provincial Consultative Bureaus in October.
The Advisory Council was officially founded on September 23, 1910,[6] and opened on October 3 of that same year.[7] In October 1909, the first Qing parliamentary election was held. After the Xinhai Revolution, the Council was dissolved on February 12, 1912 and was replaced by the Provisional National Assembly of the Republic of China.
