The Great Achievements of the Revolution of 1911
As the history of the early 20th century Ye Zhongguo a major historical event, the 1911 Revolution the great merit is that it overthrew the feudal monarchy, the establishment of a bourgeois democratic republic, set up Asia's first Republic of China's capitalist political and economic modernization conditions.

China has gradually introduced to the path of development of modern capitalism, led by Sun Yat-sen in Nanjing Provisional Government in its existence, just three months, issued a series of blow away the cobwebs of the Act, political, economic, educational and social aspects Change. Sun is indeed the founder of the Republic of China, the founder of the democratic republican form of government, to promote strong economic modernization and social customs of the active agents of change.
Lin Boqu participated in the 1911 Revolution, when in 1941, said with emotion, 'the emperor has not been for the rule of many young people, the political significance of the 1911 Revolution is often underestimated, this is not to blame, because they can not overturn thousands of years of experience inherited down the autocracy is not an easy task however(http://www.f-paper.com/). 'Emperor is sacred and inviolable in the past, the supreme, now the emperor can be down, then what is the corruption of the old things can not lose it? <<provisional constitution="">> For the first an explicitly declared: 'Republic of China's sovereignty belongs to the nation of all.' ever ordinary people from the 'people', 'subjects', 'ants', suddenly become masters of the country, which is what a great change! It is in the minds of social life and people caused great shock can be imagined. Thinking of the gate, once opened, this flood of shares on the Pentium emancipation forward, can not block the Revolution of 1911 to rule China for thousands of years absolute monarchy system in one fell swoop down, and this after the Chinese revolution opened the channel. This monumental performance is worth the big letters.
On the general trend of historical development, the history of Chinese Revolution is indeed an important watershed, which on the one hand the end of China's traditional society, the other opened a new era in Chinese history. As time goes by, it's the significance of the latter aspect becomes less prominent. although no final Revolution and achieve their political goals, not fundamentally change the face of China, but the Revolution, after all, a great democratic revolution, which includes the ideas of democracy large-scale spread of democratic revolution and the frantic action implementation. large-scale spread of democratic ideas for implementation of the democratic revolution has played a vital role in mobilizing public opinion, and the realization of the democratic revolution, the country's people received a extremely rare democratic education and the actual baptism(News News http://www.f-paper.com/).
For this reason, to overthrow the feudal autocracy and to overthrow the ruling emperor, such large-scale social revolution, the Chinese people is a profound and intuitive democratic education Revolution of 1911 as China's modernization process has opened up a path, cut off any of the Chinese society back possible.
