-
Abstract
Among the early revolutionists of the Revolution of 1911,Christians were the backbones.Sun Yet-sun was the loyal Christian.As the politician of revolutionary democratism,he advocated Christian religion as the spiritual force of revolution.His Three Principles of the People was the product of combining the Chinese traditional thoughts with the modern western thoughts,the important basis of which was the Christian culture.On the basis of summarizing the experience and lesson of Chinese modern revolution,he borrowed the valuable western culture represented by Christianity and made the civilized religious policy in the period of the Revolution of 1911,that is,the policy of separation of politics and religion.This reflects the democratic nature of the Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yet-sun.
