The Republic of China was formally established on 1 January 1912 on mainland China following the Xinhai Revolution which itself began with the Wuchang Uprising on 10 October 1911, and replaced the tsing and ended over two thousand years of imperial rule in China,In the 1890’s Sun Yat-sen formed a secret, anti-tsing society and by 1895 there was a price for his head in China forcing him to have to leave the country. His dream was to see China become a Republic and to make this happen he formed the Revolutionary League in the year 1905.
In 1903~1905 Sun Yat-sen announced that his organizations goal was "驱除鞑虏，恢复中华，创立民国，平均地权！To expel the Tatar barbarians, to revive Zhonghua, to establish a Republic, and to distribute land equally among the people."Sun Yat-sen declared,“To restore our national independence, we must first restore the Chinese nation.To restore the Chinese nation,we must drive the barbarian manchus back to the Changbai Mountains.To get rid of the barbarians,we must first overthrow the present tyrannical, dictatorial, ugly, and corrupt tsing government.Fellow countrymen,a revolution is the only means to overthrow the tsing government!"It pushed forward new advancement in culture and in TCM.
As a great leader and forerunner of China Revelotion,a very handsome Gentleman,a BRAVE Man with conscience,also a Taoist,Prof.Sun Yat Sen inherited the essence of Taoism tradition,introduced "Mr.Democracy" and "Mr.Science" to China,according to Prof.Hu Fuchen(1),the Three People's Principles(Nationalism,Democracy,the People's Livelihood,三民主义) and Constitution of Five Powers(五权宪法),correct the corruptive practice of western politics,and comform to China's real condition.The Outline(《建国大纲》) issued at April 12th,1924,also negated the patriarchical bureaucracy tradition,give a blue print of transformation from the subject society(臣民社会) to Civil society(公民社会) and Constitutional Government(宪政体制),the first time marking "中华共和国。自由，平等，博爱(China Republic.Freedom,Equality,Universal Fraternity)" on the city gate of China.
But ironically,theorists educated by modern discipline scientific system rise up to against traditional herbalism,such like their reprensentative Yu Yunyou(1879～1954) who got educated by modern science when he was young and only believe in sciencism,launched some famous act called Fei Zhi Zhong Yi An at year 1929,as an official of the MinGuo government,before that,he wrote some book named Ling Su Shang Dui at 1917,announced that "the origin of Ling Su(means Ling Shu,Su Wen of HuangDi Nei Jing),actually are witchery",he hold some famous saying that TCM is “a convenience store sells myths,ancient classical phylosophy,Chineseism,subjective materialism,and vulgar empiricism.”and he suggested again to abandon TCM system at year 1949 for the new government.
