Duanfang was a Manchu official who served as one of five envoys dispatched in 1905 to investigate political affairs in the West. A progressive figure in the late Qing era, he advocated for constitutionalism and gradual reform, focusing on developing cultural and educational institutions.
As Viceroy of Liangjiang, Duanfang presented a memorial to the emperor urging the establishment of middle and elementary vocational schools across the provinces to promote industrial innovation. The memorial mentioned that agricultural, industrial, mining, and sericulture vocational schools had been set up in 1904, and he advocated for improving teacher quality, facilities, and creating a nationwide exposition to revitalize local industries.
