The Revolution of 1911 broke through the cage of feudal thought. In China's ideological culture since Dong Zhongshu in Han Dynasty, the relationship between monarch and minister is the first of the three cardinal principles. The emperor is not only a political authority, but also an important basis and source of the legitimacy of many values in culture.

The Revolution of 1911 not only resolutely overthrew the emperor in action, but also lashed and criticized the idea of monarchy and imperial power in public opinion, which greatly promoted the people's ideological emancipation and opened up a new ideological realm for exploring the road of saving the country and rejuvenating the country.

Secondly, the Revolution of 1911 spread democratic ideas. As early as before and after the founding of the conference, Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionary people with lofty ideals attached importance to learning and spreading democratic ideas and natural sciences, especially evolution, natural human rights theory, political science and natural science.

By propagating the theory of natural human rights, they enable people to fight for civil rights with confidence; By spreading western bourgeois ideas, people can understand the meaning of "freedom and equality"; By introducing the western political party system, we advocate the role of new political parties.

These theories about democracy and science have become ideological weapons for people to get rid of superstitions, emancipate their minds, oppose traditional feudal culture, carry out violent revolution and overthrow the imperial system, raise people's democratic consciousness, and make ideological preparations for democratic founding.
