A brief description of the content of "The Evolution of Chinese National Character":

National character is not static. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Tang and Song Dynasties, and then to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the character of the Chinese people is like a waterfall. , flying down, getting worse and worse. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Chinese people were simple and honest; in the Tang Dynasty, people were vigorous and sunny, with a martial spirit; after entering the Ming and Qing Dynasties, hooliganism became more and more serious. This change is closely related to the development of autocracy.

Through the observation of Chinese national character from a world perspective and the analysis of the evolution of Chinese national character from a historical perspective, the author believes that it is the backward system that has caused the bad character of the Chinese people. Since modern times, everyone from Liang Qichao and Lu Xun to Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong have made arduous efforts to transform the national character, but with little success. The root cause is that the system construction and the transformation of the national character are not synchronized. There are no "filtering germs" on the Chinese people. To transform the national character, we must work hard from the institutional perspective.
