Please talk about the historical significance of the Revolution of 1911. Why do people on both sides of the strait commemorate the Revolution of 1911?

1. Abolish the monarchy: The Revolution of 1911 was a bourgeois democratic revolution with the goal of opposing absolute monarchy and establishing a bourgeois republic.

As Mao Zedong pointed out, "China's anti-imperialist and anti-feudal bourgeois democratic revolution started from Sun Yat-sen in form", and the leaders of the Revolution of 1911 realized that the only way to save the country was revolution, and the only way to save the country was to overthrow the feudal imperial power? .

With the abolition of the feudal monarchy, various ugly systems attached to the feudal monarchy have also been swept away, such as hereditary system, eunuch system, knighthood system and so on. The voices of national equality, civil rights and freedom, and happiness of people's livelihood echoed in China.

The unprecedented democratic atmosphere and the wave of competing for industries have formed a vibrant situation. The concept of democracy and harmony began to take root in people's hearts, and the democratic concept of "those who dare to have an imperial system will be attacked by the world" was formed in China. Because of this, when Yuan Shikai and Zhang Xun successively restored the monarchy, they were strongly condemned by public opinion and resolutely resisted by the people? .

The accumulation of democratic consciousness has greatly promoted the unprecedented patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese nation, promoted the development of China's national capitalist economy to a certain extent, accelerated the growth of the working class in China, and cleared the initial political obstacles for the birth of the * * * production party in China? .

Second, ideological emancipation: The Revolution of 1911 broke through the cage of feudal thought. In China's ideological culture since Dong Zhongshu in Han Dynasty, the relationship between monarch and minister is the first of the three cardinal principles. 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 not only resolutely overthrew the emperor in action, but also lashed and criticized the idea of divine right of monarchy and supremacy of imperial power in public opinion, which greatly promoted the people's ideological emancipation and opened up a new ideological realm for exploring the road to saving the country and rejuvenating the country? .

Secondly, the Revolution of 1911 spread democratic ideas. As early as before and after the founding of the conference, Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionary people with lofty ideals attached importance to learning and spreading democratic ideas and natural sciences, especially evolution, natural human rights theory, political science and natural science.

By propagating the theory of natural human rights, they enable people to fight for civil rights with confidence; By spreading western bourgeois ideas, people can understand the meaning of "freedom and equality"; By introducing the western political party system, we advocate the role of new political parties.

These theories about democracy and science have become ideological weapons for people to get rid of superstitions, emancipate their minds, oppose traditional feudal culture, carry out violent revolution and overthrow the imperial system, raise people's democratic consciousness, and make ideological preparations for democratic founding? .
