This explanation is somewhat clearer:

• The Legislative Yuan (Chinese: 立法院 pinyin: Lìfǎ Yuàn, literally "law-establishing court") is the legislative body of the Republic of China (ROC), which administers Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu Islands.

• The Legislative Yuan is one of the five branches (called 'yuàn', "courts") of government stipulated by the Constitution of the Republic of China, which follows Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People. Although sometimes referred to as a "parliament," the Legislative Yuan, under Sun's political theory, is a branch of government in a presidential system, while only the National Assembly of the Republic of China (now abolished), with the power to amend the constitution and formerly to elect the President and Vice President, could be considered a parliament. Nevertheless, after constitutional amendments effectively transferred almost all of the National Assembly's powers to the Legislative Yuan in the late 1990s, it became common in Taiwanese newspapers to refer to the Legislative Yuan as the parliament (國會,guóhuì).

• Dr. Sun Yat-sen Traditional Chinese: 孫中山; Pinyin: Sūn Zhōngshān; or "Sun Yixian" (Pinyin: Sūn Yìxiān) (November 12, 1866 – March 12, 1925) was a Chinese revolutionary and political leader often referred to as the "father of modern China".

• "civic-nationalism"
• democracy
• socialism
• "government of the people, by the people, for the people,"

More of that should be melded w/:

• Yuàn (院), a branch of government stipulated by the Constitution of the Republic of China (now on Taiwan): Legislative Yuan, Executive Yuan, Judicial Yuan, Examination Yuan, Control Yuan

Influences

The ideology is heavily influenced by Sun's experiences in the United States and contains elements of the American progressive movement and the thought championed by Abraham Lincoln. Sun credited a line from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, "government of the people, by the people, for the people," as an inspiration for the Three Principles.

Sun was also heavily influenced by Confucian ideologies.

• "I feel, somewhat like the man who was being ridden out of town on a rail. Someone asked him how he liked it, and he said that if it were not for the honor of the thing, he would just as soon walk."
