Dai Jitao Thought

Dai Jitao Thought (Chinese: 戴季陶主義; pinyin: Dài Jìtáo Zhǔyì; Wade–Giles: Tai4 Chi4-t’ao2 Chu3-i4; lit. 'Dai-Jitao-ism') or Dai Jitao Doctrine[1] is an ideology based on the interpretation of the Tridemism by some Kuomintang members, including Dai Jitao, since Sun Yat-sen's death in March 1925. Dai Jitao Thought became the ideological foundation of the right wing Kuomintang, including the Western Hills Group.[2][3] Dai Jitao himself described it as "Pure Tridemism" (纯粹三民主义).
Dai Jitao opposed left-wing Kuomintang's Marxist interpretation of Sun's concept of "Mínshēng" as a class struggle.[4]
Dai was a Han Chinese nationalist; he identified the ancestors of non-Chinese minorities as ethnic Han and advocated the unity of Zhonghua minzu, and he saw all the people of Qing territory as Chinese people.[5]
Some scholars argue that Dai Jitao Thought fused the content of Buddhist nationalism and conservative nationalism. Dai Jitao and Chiang Kai-shek's Tridemism reflects the characteristics of cultural nationalism and cultural conservatism.[6][7][8]

In the succeeding generation of the 1930s and 1940s, the National Government's very inclusiveness accommodated a range of sub-groups ranging from the 'left' Guomindang (Gan Naiguang) to other more narrow technocrats who contributed to the Administrative Efficiency writings or worked in the Examination Yuan and Ministry of Personnel, to individuals on the far right like Dai Jitao, who was the head of the Examination Yuan-all of whom, at the very least, paid lip service to the ideal of civil service examinations.
