Suggested contents of Wu regime transformation include the estab-lishment of weapon department, replacing archery, knife and stone arms examinations with soldier examination, re-stricting examination qualification, changing examination contents, and examining the use of guns and cannons. However, due to the failure of Wuxu Reform, the transformation failed ultimately.
