The Three Principles of the People advanced by Dr. Sun Yat-sen
were: nationalism, democracy and livelihood.
The Great Unity (Datong) goes back to the idea of political evolution
found in the Confucian classics, the last stage of which was
the Great Unity. San Min Zhu Yi was originally the song of
the Kuomintang. The word "guo" (nation) was substituted for "dang"
(party) in the first line when it became the national anthem. The words are in classical Chinese (wenyen). The usual translations omit a lot of the meaning in order to fit the music. I have attempted to provide a fuller translation. |
