The early period of Republic of China (1912-1949) is "an active period of political experiment". Parliamentarism is the first choice for Chinese to establish democratic regime. As it is known to all, this experiment failed and the history of parliament became the only existing copy.However, this experiment leaves a lot of experience about setting up constitutional government. This thesis is mainly about the interpretation with sect characteristics of various political factions and the prominent combats for the interest of sect among them in every stage of applying the parliamentarism to practice. The fancy of sect is an important reason why the experiment of parliamentarism failed, while the fancy of traditional culture behind the fancy of sect explains more the non-compatibility between parliamentarism and Chinese political cultural tradition.
