The Transcendence of Sun Yat-sen's Chinese Nationalism from Its Western Counterparts
Chinese Nationalism is the essential part of Dr.Sun Yat-sen's"Three People's Principles".It originated from the anti-Qing revolution and was the result of the influence from the"racism"prevalent in Europe and America in the 19th century.As Dr.Sun deepening his practice of the Chinese revolution,he continued to revise the purpose and content of Chinese Nationalism,and finally abandoned the elements of Western colonialism and Social Darwinism,sublimating it into a national ideology that could unify all compatriots of the Chinese nation in building a modern China.Because he had borrowed the European and American discourses,concepts and theories when carrying out anti-Qing revolutionary propaganda,Dr.Sun's Chinese nationalism is criticized by certain scholars as"strongly racist".Recently,in order to"De-centering China,"some people have deliberately misinterpreted Sun's thoughts,trying to deconstruct his theory on"Chinese nation"and Chinese revolution by attacking his idea of"Guo Zu".Therefore,by referring to the old and new historical materials,it is necessary to probe Dr.Sun's motivations and methods of borrowing Western theories and discourses during the Republican revolution,as well as how he transcended the Western racism and nationalism into Chinese nationalism through the construction of the"Three People's Principles"in his subsequent fight with the colonialism and imperialism.
