The ‘four great needs’ of the people as identified by the Guomindang, based on Sun Yat-sen’s Principle of Livelihood (Minsheng), were typically understood as clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Sun Yat-sen’s Three Principles of the People are Nationalism, Democracy, and Livelihood. The Principle of Livelihood focused on the people’s welfare and material needs. Sun Yat-sen himself elaborated on this principle, discussing basic necessities. The common articulation of the “four great needs” derived from this principle includes the fundamental material requirements for living: Yi (衣 – Clothing), Shi (食 – Food), Zhu (住 – Housing), and Xing (行 – Transportation).

The Principle of Livelihood also encompassed broader aspects like land distribution and control of capital, aiming for equitable distribution of wealth and resources.
