But the two practice led to different results. The Republic of China's victory became the fruit of Yuan Shikai's ,and China went to the autocracy again. In the People's Republic of China ,it became true that the people were masters, and realized the ideal of ture Republic. Therefore, we studied Sun Yat-sen and Mao Zedong's idea of republicanism by comparing their Republican thinking of the similarities and differences, so that we can find what led to the different results ,and we can learn of useful experience for us today in the building of the Republic, and serve the cause of socialism better.This paper is divided into five parts.The first part is introduction,which introduces the purpose, the status quo, the methods of the study and the relevant contents of ideology of the Republican,and summarized in the Republican ideology, a core substance of the points, including that the goal of the Republic is the public interest, operating rules is the power of checks and balances ,and the Republic depends on the rule of law and civic virtue, spiritual core is a harmonious balance, which is the theoretical basis of the entire article.The second part introduces the main idea of republicanism of Sun Yat-sen, mainly from the relationship between the people and countries ,idea of political party,the thought of laws and virtues and national policy ,in which the republic can be manifested the spirit.Partâ…¢focuses on Mao Zedong's idea of republicanism and the main contents of focus is mainly reflected in the above aspects, including the thought of people and political parties,the CPC-led multi-party cooperation and political consultation system and the thinking of laws,virtues and ethnic equality and autonomous.Partâ…£is the focus of this paper.It has taken a comparative analysis of methods, and compared the thought of republicanism of Sun Yat-sen and Mao Zedong,mainly from the inheritance and differences between the two persons.It pointed out that Mao Zedong,in many ways, and Sun Yat-sen's idea of republicanism have some similarities, such as the criticism of feudal autocratic and agreement with the road of the armed revolution. Mao Zedong also discussed the relationship between the communism and the new Three Principles of the People, which shows that their views of many problems have consistency. But in many fundamental issues, the two have clear differences, and it is these differences led to the different results of the two practice. Consistent with the first two chapters of the thought of republicanism of Sun Yat-sen and Mao Zedong, this chapter is mainly about the relationship between the people and the country, the thinking of political parties , the thought of law and virtues and national policy.By comparison,analyze the relationship between the Republican ideas and the direction of the Republic,such as the relationship between the people and the country, which embodies the idea of republicanism most. But the two have a great difference in the connotation of the people, the degree of mobilization of the people,the nature of the Republic, and so on.Partâ…¤is thinking for today's society.The Republican road must be consistent with China's specific national conditions.We must uphold the rule of law and the rule of virtue combined.We agree with difference but harmony and promote the harmonious and balanced development of our society.
