However, at present of the research on this important people is weak by reason of contrary between Chinese mainland and Taiwan. This thesis adheres to the principle of dialectical materialism, puts Dai Ji-tao under the macroscopical backgrounds of civilization conflict and integration between the east and west, regards his idealistic conversion and The Three People's Principles as clue, using all kinds of research approaches such as political science,thought, education, diplomatism etc. to analyze his viewpoint to civilization of the east and west, brings forth his thought's variability, complexity. The outline is as follows:Chapter one: Dai Ji-tao was born in the queasy age of late Qing Dynasty. His study experience from old-style school to new-style seminary made him possessed well-knit traditional culture and elementary base to farther study west culture. It was golden for him to have homemade patriotism and nationalism, which was effective aggradation for his after accepting The Three People's Principles and actively engaging in revolution. After returning mother country from Japan, Dai Ji-tao went in for and gave up binary monarchy and parliamentarian monarchy, from among that, he came out with lots of opinions about parliamentarism, constitution, party government and home rule. These became effective foundation for him to support democracy republic.Chapter two: After The 1911 Revolution, Dai Ji-tao had been assumed the secretary of Sun Yet-sen for 14 years. The more he knew The Three People's Principles, the more he propagandized The Three People's Principles. Dai Ji-tao's political thought had some characteristics such as radical, general, in-depth, which had great significance on unlocking people's mind, spreading democracy, resisting feudatorial kaiserism. At the same time, Dai Ji-tao took part in the Second Revolution and the Protect Law Movement. Socialism deeply influenced on Dai Ji-tao during the Early Republic of China. He thought that socialism was related to The Three People's Principles, which is the reason that he applauded the October Revolution and study Marxism during The May-forth New Cultural Movement. Dai Ji-tao paid attention to international issues, contacted Chinese fate with surrounding nations. Facing imperialists' aggression on China, Dai Ji-tao put away humanitarianism which concluding peace and welfare for a time, however, he advocated to save the nation relying on force. It should be noticed that Dai Ji-tao specially gave his attention to Japan, and foreseed Japanese aggressive policy of expanding to Chinese Mainland. Thought and action of Dai Ji-tao all embodied traits of the time, put up his worry about Chinese future and his admire to the west modernize. He wished that china could be strong and rich by transplanting the west advanced system of politics, economy, and so on. However, among temporary alienation, traditional influence could be seen syllabify from his thought, and clue could show that his thought gradually would regress to Chinese traditional culture after his middle age.Chapter three: Under guidance of Sun Yet-sen, Dai Ji-tao with his accompaniers originated some magazines such as the Minguo Magazine, the Weekly Review, the magazine of Construction to propagandize The Three People's Principles during The May-forth New Cultural Movement. Then Marxism was spreading in China for Russia October Revolution. Under Marxism's enlightenment, Dai Ji-tao abruptly discovered that economics was a master key to many questions of society, history, culture, ethic, social psychology. Lots of articles were written out to attention the people's livelihood using Marxism's point of views. Though Dai Ji-tao spouted Marxism and quoted Marxism's opinions, he only accepted simplex economics theory in fact. Though Dai Ji-tao at one time admitted opposite between worker and capitalist and called for radical revolution, intention catered for domestic and international the labour movements. When he settled conflict between worker and capitalist, Dai Ji-tao approved of class adjustment, and wished that workers believe in reformism and abandoned force, and avoided convulsions. Cooperation with fantastically was canonized by Dai Ji-tao in aspect of production and distribute. The Three People's Principles always restricted Dai Ji-tao's thoughts and action, so he could not break away from it. With The Three People's Principles as rudder to study society and Marxism as means to settle issues, Dai Ji-tao parted company each going his own way with Marxism and against Chinese Communist and cooperation between Chinese Communist and Kuomintang later.Chapter four: When he plunged the corner, with the assistance of Soviet Russia and Chinese Communist, Sun Yet-sen renewed Kuomintang and explained one more time in the Kuomintang's the first congress, and decided the Three Great Policies of Unite Russians,Unite Communists and Aid the Preasants and Workers. Here, Dai Ji-tao diverged with Sun Yet-sen's The New Three People's Principles. After Sun Yet-sen passed away, Dai Ji-tao began to study Sun Yet-sen's ideas and tried to find out measures from The Three People's Principles, in order to unify confused mentality in Kuomintang. The Three People's Principles was provided with extensive theory origins, which including the west capitalism, Chinese traditional culture, and Soviet Russia socialism, so it was self-contradiction. Dai Ji-tao wrote some literatures including Sun Yet-sen's Philosophy Basic and Revolution and Kuomintang in the interest of political require. He regarded that the People's Livelihood was noumenon of The Three People's Principles, which was set up on the base of kindheartedness, after analyzed Philosophy Basic of The Three People's Principles. Viewpoint that existent desire is the base in all human's desires was applied to explain the Chinese political position, so conclusion was draw out that Chinese Communist and Kuomintang could cooperate long, which is no credit, no solidarity, no coexistence. At that time, Dai Ji-tao in public rebuked Chinese Communist, and reviled that Chinese Communist was attempting the command power from Kuomintang. Though Chinese Communist and Kuomintang's left-winger beat back Dai Ji-tao'thought, not only Dai Ji-tao was regarded as authority of opposing Chinese Communist, but also movement of opposing Chinese Communist was taken place later. During he occupied the president of Zhongshan University, Dai Ji-tao applied The Three People's Principles that was juggled by him to the education.

Comment Japan written in 1928 was his representational production that containing his nationalism thought, which concentrative reflected his viewpoint on Japan. Several things was expressed that Dai Ji-tao profoundly disclosed the intent of Japan's aggressing Chinese mainland, criticized the policy of Japan's aggressing Chinese mainland, brought forward the guideline of rejecting Japan's aggressing Chinese mainland. But Dai Ji-tao wished that Japanese government would be awaken and lead the East nations to resist aggression of the West imperialism. At the same time, conflict among imperialistic nations could be utilized to hold down Japan's aggressing Chinese mainland. Dai Ji-tao cared the minority in border area, and advocated to constitute the alliance of the East Asia, in order to establish the culture circle of the East Asia in which Chinese culture was center, to antagonize Imperialism and Comintern by political collaborating.In sum, the development of Dai Ji-tao's former thought was accompanying with the development of The Three People's Principles. Originally he devotedly upheld and publicized The New Three People's Principles. Subsequently he explained The New Three People's Principles using Confucian thought. Ultimately, Dai Ji-tao's thought formed. The result was come out for the reasons that he indulged Confucianism after middle age, and that The Three People's Principles has absorbed the ingredient from Chinese culture.
