杨度是清末民初君主立宪派的中坚,他长期坚持君主立宪思想是有一定根源的。客观上,当时国民素质低下、小农经济仍然占主导地位、各民族状况复杂,这些因素为杨度君主立宪思想的萌生提供了较为适合的土壤。主观上,杨度深受其师王闿运“帝王之学”的影响,加之留学日本的经历、急于实现自己的政治抱负以及爱国主义责任感等的驱使,使他认为中国只可行君主立宪而不可行民主共和。 Yang Du was the backbone of the constitutional monarchy at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. His long-standing adherence to the constitutional monarchy has its roots. Objectively speaking, when the quality of the people was low, the peasant economy still dominated and the ethnic groups were in a complicated situation. These factors provided a suitable soil for the initiation of Yang Du’s constitutional monarchy. Subjectively, Yang was deeply influenced by his teacher Wang Yunyun and the study of the emperors, plus his experience of studying in Japan, his ambitious desire to realize his political aspirations and his sense of patriotism, which made him think that China could only be practiced under the constitutional monarchy but not feasible Democratic republic.
