20年代初联省自治思潮和运动是清末民初联邦思想潜滋暗长的结果。联邦思想是清末部分资产阶级人士为将来建立资产阶级政权而在国家结构问题上所作的构想。作为专制主义中央集权的对立物 ,联邦思想在当时具备一定的进步意义。 The trend of thought and movement of self-government in the early 1920s was the result of the concerted efforts of federal ideology in late Qing and early Republican China. The idea of ​​the Commonwealth was the concept that some bourgeois people made in the late Qing dynasty on the issue of state structure for the future establishment of a bourgeois regime. As the antithesis of the authoritarian centralization, the federalism idea at that time had certain progressive significance.
