Starting from Lu Xun's "criticism" to Representative System of the West in his early articles, this paper gets into a summary of Lu Xun unique characteristics of the times "Representative System Concept" in his youth period. Lu Xun showed his clear opposition to Constitutional monarchy, also a great suspect to Democratic republicanism. He worried that "public abuse to independence" in Representative System would rise the "democracy" end, as well as a new batch of oppressed and exploited. So he ultimately concluded with a negative view to bourgeois democracy. This concept of Lu Xun came from complicated ideological source. I think there are three aspects as follows: First, the impact of John. Mill; Second, the impact of Zhang Taiyan and "People Newspaper"; Third, the impact of the Western "Personal "philosopher and "the Satanical School "poet. Through the analysis to Lu Xun's " Representative System Concept ", a "path" leading to the thinking world of young Lu Xun becomes clear. And based on this, a number of related issues were discussed. Lu Xun's attitudes to democracy is a very important part, we can not conclude with absolute deny or qualitative. The hesitation of "democratic" politics tier of Lu Xun originates from the thinking tier, because he thought that at that time most Chinese were "common" and not "conscious"; then he affirmed the way of realizing the true "freedom" of people by the "Individual Sublimation" ideas, and the awareness of the commons through the conscious of individuals. Compared to ordinary wised people, Lu Xun's aspirations of the democratization achieved a "reverse" in a logical order. Based on this, in the excluded tense relations between "Personal" and "Plural", we are sure that Lu Xun would choose "Advocated Individuals". In the overall framework of "Representative System Concept", a new era of content was given to "individuals" in Lu Xun's Works. Lu Xun's obvious "Elite Awareness" coming around with opinion of "Advocated Individuals", which was quite different from traditional intellectuals superior attitude, contrarily, because of Lu Xun's bottom-up "Individuals Sublimation "ideas, was given a rich color of humanistic care. All of these have provided conditions and established basis for Lu Xun to become the preeminent enlightening thinker ten years later.
