Early Sun Yat-sen's Personality Psychoanalysis

Sun Yat-sen wasn't a god, but a person of an abundant and complicated heart. If you wanted to understand him, you must study his special individuality(personality) for it reflected all of his spiritual attitudes, external expression and real ego. The most basic task to a historical researcher wasn't only simply to renarrate the past, but also to revive it whose difficulties were to reflect the personal nature(E.H.Carl said), namely the disappeared ego in his own heart by comprehending his personality.The structure of his individuality was overlapping and many-sided and a whole of the especial integration of some complex psychological characteristics, concretely, of two factors such as the tendentiousness and the psychological characteristics of his personality. The first one, included demand, motive,interest, ideal, faith and world outlook, was the motive power system of his actions and the most lively factor and decided to choose his behaviour object and form the attitude to the outside world. He pursued and researched successively in order to meet his demands and turn into innermotive power and obstain some peak-experience. Self-actualization need was his ultimate aim. His achievement motive was so strong that it became a very stable trait and produced a stamina and his interest also broad changed from material one into spiritual one, from direct one into indirect one and built a steady and healthy hobby.His personality psychological characteristics, concentrated to reflect his spiritual distinctivity, included temperament, character and ability, was influenced by some physiological causes and became a relatively stable ingredient in his personality structure. His temperament was congential, its type a mixed one including the choler one and the polycythemia one, the type of his high nerve actions the strong and inequality one. All of those were the crucial factors influencing his profession and intercourse. His character, the stable and lasting trait, importantly embodied at hisattitude, will, emotion and intellect and his attitude and intellect directly reflected his value outlook and were the most important of it. At the same time, his character was of individual difference, not integrated. The structure of his aility was so complicated that it couldn't be appraised, including common ones(intelligence)and special ones. The first ones refleted some personality psychological characteristics of the comprehensive cognition and was high level as his good physiological quality and training, the second ones such as his outstanding eloquence and social intercourse one too.The early period(1866-1895)was the gold season to form his personality connecting with many factors such as geographical and inherent ones, family education, parochial education, heterogeneous culture, Christ's spirits and group behavior. Those effects were different but not be neglected. In a word, his personality was the product of three powers of his family, the school and the social.I try to analyse the effects of his personality psychology at his objects-chosen and social roles-born. Affirmably he could be indemnified by some returned students and overseas Chinese, elected the leader of the democratic revolution on account of his great personality charm. "In my opinion, the chief cause of which Sun Yat-Sen was supported was his character", Harold Z. Schifirin said.Mr. Sun wasn't born a revolutionist or a genius for politics, but a common one from the cold-door. The differences(his occidental education, seaport inhibtant and overseas life) made a stable authoritarian personality. However there were some negative factors which to be found in his social intercourse and revolutionary career and to take some disadvantageous effects. In short, he wasn't a sage, but true to life.
