The Revolution of 1911 refers to the bourgeois-democratic revolution that broke out in China in191/year (the third year of Qing Dynasty). It happened on the basis of the increasingly decadent Qing Dynasty, the further deepening of imperialist aggression and the initial growth of Chinese national capitalism. Its purpose is to overthrow the autocratic rule of the Qing Dynasty, save the nation from peril and strive for national independence, democracy and prosperity. This revolution ended China's two thousand years of absolute monarchy, and it was a great revolutionary movement. The Revolution of 1911 was a bourgeois democratic revolution in modern China. Politically and ideologically, it has brought immeasurable liberation to the people of China. The revolution has made the concept of democracy and harmony deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle, taking the Revolution of 1911 as a new starting point, was launched at a deeper level and in a wider scope.

The Revolution of 1911 was called "a great bourgeois democratic revolution in the history of China" by the Producers' Party of China, which overthrew the feudal imperial power system practiced by the Manchu government and China for more than 2,000 years and established the first democratic Republic of China in Asia. All previous uprisings in China ended with one dynasty replacing another, but the Revolution of 1911 completely overthrew the monarchy and tried to establish a new political system-* * * harmony. Although the rules of democracy and peace were destroyed by the northern warlords to varying degrees many times, and even there was a brief restoration of monarchy, they could not fundamentally subvert the people and the state system. At that time, the successful revolutionaries in China didn't have a definite plan to govern the country, so they implemented the presidential system in accordance with the US Constitution and the American political system. Although due to the constraints of realistic social conditions and the rulers' contempt for the Constitution, for example, Sun Wen arbitrarily amended the Constitution of the Republic of China to restrain Yuan Shikai, who later suspended the Constitution because he proclaimed himself emperor, the democracy and system in the early years of the Republic of China were not really implemented, but this was the first time that China tried to implement democracy and regime, which promoted the spread of democracy and ideas in China and made democracy * * *. For a long time after the Revolution of 1911, China's ideas of imperialism and absolutism for more than 2,000 years were not completely eliminated. They once had a considerable social foundation. Although the China * * * production party claimed that the people's democratic dictatorship in People's Republic of China (PRC) established in 1949 realized "the real people are the masters of the country", some people think that in practice, the so-called "real democracy * * and" has never been fully implemented in China-whether it is the Beiyang government, the Nanjing National Government of the Kuomintang or the China people *.

The influence of ideology

From the perspective of ideological history, the Revolution of 1911 is also a profound enlightenment trend of thought. It makes democracy and ideas deeply rooted in people's hearts. In China Thought since Dong Zhongshu in Han Dynasty, the relationship between monarch and minister is the first of the "three cardinal guides and five permanents". The emperor is not only a political authority, but also an important basis and source of the legitimacy of many values in culture. The Revolution of 1911 overthrew the imperial system, which not only broke the values and political thoughts of imperial politics, but also impacted the authority of many traditional values dominated by Confucianism in China, resulting in the overthrow of national nihilism thoughts such as Confucius and Mencius and "total westernization" in the subsequent New Culture Movement. The disappearance of cultural authority has also made this generation of intellectuals feel unprecedented anxiety. Therefore, a new value system with a complete system, such as anarchism, liberalism, the Three People's Principles and socialism (especially * * * productism with a clear process), has become the new belief of a large number of China intellectuals.
