受到来自文化、经济、政治的影响,观念中的清官意识与实践着的村民自治相并存,构成了当代中国民主的新格局。民本主义是中国传统政治学说中包含民主因素的思想,但并非现代意义上所说的民主。村民自治为中国民主的进一步演进,提供了一个相对正确和规范的初始形式。 Under the influence of culture, economy and politics, the concept of honest government and the self-government of villagers in practice coexist, forming the new pattern of democracy in contemporary China. Humanism is the thought of including the democratic factor in Chinese traditional political theory, but it is not the democracy in the modern sense. Villagers’ autonomy provided a relatively correct and standardized initial form for the further evolution of Chinese democracy.
