晏阳初从事平民教育和乡村改造的精神支柱和理论核心是他在对中国传统民本思想进行继承、发扬和创新过程中形成的现代民本思想。他继承了传统民本思想的精华,融合吸收了近代西方民主科学思想和基督教的平等博爱思想,并在实践中赋予了传统民本思想以社会为本位的社会化系统改造的崭新意义。 Yan Yangchu engaged in civilian education and rural reconstruction of the spiritual pillar and theoretical core of his thinking in the traditional Chinese people to inherit, carry forward and innovate in the process of the formation of modern people-based ideas. He inherited the essence of the traditional people-based thought, integrated the equal fraternity thought that absorbed the modern Western democratic scientific thought and Christianity, and gave a new meaning to the transformation of the traditional social-based socialized system based on the traditional people-based thought in practice.
