推陈出新——孙中山民权论之我见

To Get Rid of the Stale and Bring Forth the Fresh .——the Understanding of SUN Zhong-shan' s civil rights

20世纪初期,先进的中国人对民权有两种不同的理解,一种以孙中山为代表,认为所谓民权乃是“人民之权”;一种可以说是以梁启超为代表,认为所谓民权乃是“君主之权”。孙中山民权观的基本内核是“五权宪法”、“直接民权”和“权能分治”,在当时的背景下,孙中山的民权观无怀疑达到了历史应有的高度,具有推陈出新的重大的价值。

At the beginning of the twentieth century, advanced Chinese people had two kinds of different understanding about civil rights. Among them, SUN Zhong-shan is one kind of representative and regarded civil rights as 'people' s rights' . The other kind of representative is LIANG Qichao and thought of civil rights as 'emperors rights' . The basic kernel of Sun' s opinion about civil rights was 'the constitution that included five kinds of rights' , 'the rights that people could take apart in the election straightly' and 'the power and ability that was governed separately' . At that temporal historical times, this kind of civil rights undoubtfully reached the highest level and had the great value of getting rid of the stale and bring forth the fresh.
