辛亥时期民主思潮的传播及其特征

Dissemination of the democratic Thought During the Revolution of 1911 and Its Characteristics

辛亥革命时期民族思潮的传播具有鲜明的近代性质和政治明朗性。特别是这一时期对于封建专制的批判比戊戌时期更加激烈、更加直接，也更具有理论深度。最能体现其政治明朗性的是资产阶级民主革命派在中国政治思想史上史无前例地提出资产阶级共和国的方案；而最具启蒙意义的是资产阶级始终将“天赋人权”和“自由、平等、博爱”的原则贯穿于三民主义的全部内容和民族革命的全过程。但这一时期的民族思潮仍存在只注重民主形式而忽视其深刻内涵的局限性。

The dissemination of the democratic thought during the Revolution of 1911 was characterized by distinctive modernity and political clearness.Fiercer and more straightforword criticisms with more theoretical depth were hurled at feudal autocracy during this period than in the Reform movement of 1898.The bourgeois democratic revolutionaries, unprecedentedly in chinese history of political ideology,proposed a bourgeois republic,which best showed their political clearness.The content of the Three principles of the People and the whole process of democratic revolution were permeated with the theory of natural rights and the principle of liberty,equality and fraternity,which was of great enlightening significance.However there were also some limitations in the trend of democratic thought during this period,more stress was put on the form rather than on the connotation of the trend.
