The spirit of Chinese people was finished by ku hung-ming in 1915，when Europe was caught in the first world war and Chinese culture was misunderstood and discriminated against by westerners. In order to change the prejudice of Europeans towards China and defend the dignity of the Chinese culture, in the spirit of the Chinese people, ku hung-ming showed the true ideal of the spiritual world of the Chinese people and the value of Chinese excellent traditional culture by comparing Chinese and western cultures, revealed the shortcomings of western civilization and provided a solution for Europe to get rid of war, promoting the export of the Chinese culture. The book is full of koo's patriotic fervor. However, more than one hundred years have passed since this book was published, and the image of Chinese people described in this book is hard to be seen again. When we come to read this book again, we should treat the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese people's spirit proposed by him critically with a rigorous attitude.

  In this book, ku hung-ming put forward some principles of The Religion of good citizenship，for instance to believe that the Nature of Man is good and the power of goodness, love and justice. The Religion of good citizenship teaches that the law of love means to love your father and mother and the law of justice means to be true, to be faithful, to be loyal. The above belongs to the humanistic ethics which reflects the commonness of human living environment, the commonness of human and the commonness of Chinese nation. This is conducive to building an orderly society, helping people meet their needs in a proper way and resolving their conflicts. But he next point of view that, for example, the woman must be selflessly, absolutely loyal to its hers husband，and the man must be selflessly, absolutely loyal to his sovereign, to his King or Emperor. The highest duty in this Religion of good citizenship is the duty of Loyalty, Loyalty not only in deed, but also in spirit, which fiercely defended the interests of the landlord class and rulers, and became the tool of exploitation and oppression of the people. It reflects that the privileged thought of feudal ethics in China shackles people's ideas.

  In the spirit of the Chinese people, he show the real Chinaman is a man who lives the life of a men of adult reason with the simple heart of a child, and the Spirit of the Chinese people is a happy union of soul with intellect, a state of mind, a temper of the soul, a mood, a serene and blessed mood. The Chinese nation is an ageless nation with the secret of eternal youth. Today’s revival of the Chinese nation and a series of achievements also prove this point. From the above views, we can see that  ku hung-ming has profound and unique views on Chinese culture, love and self-confidence. The spirit he mentioned is extremely precious at present.  

  In the last two paragraphs, ku hung-ming pointed out that westerners' superficial understanding of the profound Chinese culture led to some westerners' misunderstanding of China. At present, with the development of China, we should shoulder the responsibility of promoting Chinese culture to the world. We should endeavor to display the unique charm of Chinese culture, enhance mutual understanding among people of all countries, eliminate prejudice and misunderstanding, and shape China's national image.

  In a word, this is a good book that reflects the Chinese values of that era, and promotes the spread of Chinese culture.
