The most typical sub-feudal system appeared in the Zhou Dynasty, and the reason why the sub-feudal system was adopted was nothing more than the following reasons:
1.Most critically, the level of social productivity is low. If you want to control the place tightly, at least you need a large number of troops and a large number of troops, and the economic situation at that time determined that it was impossible for the Zhou Dynasty to implement this system.
2.Reasons for the political situation. The Zhou Dynasty belonged to the foreign forces that entered the Central Plains from the west, and when it first entered the Central Plains, its foothold was not stable, and its prestige could not control the entire Central Plains, let alone Dongyi, and the Jingchu area was never really included in the Zhou Dynasty's sphere of influence.
Therefore, from a political point of view, the Zhou Dynasty could only seal the royal family, relatives, cronies, and generals to various places.
3.Military strength is insufficient. When the Zhou Dynasty destroyed Yin Shang, it used all its strength, and it was only tens of thousands of people, and it was barely defeated, but if it was to be used to attack various places, it would be scattered to the vast Central Plains, and the shadow would be gone. There was no way, the lack of military strength had to be divided.
4.Institutional issues. Before the Zhou Dynasty, the Xia and Shang dynasties implemented a sub-feudal system, but it was not as strict as the sub-feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, whether in theory or practice, the Zhou Dynasty had no alternative except for the implementation of the feudal system.

The disadvantage of the feudal system is that the feudal princes enjoy considerable independence within their own domains. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, with the increasing strength of the vassal states, the royal power weakened, and the feudal system was destroyed; The victory of the king of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period was an open challenge to the feudal system by the vassal states.
The sub-feudal system and the well-field system influenced each other, and the existence of the two became the pillars of the prosperity of the Western Zhou sub-feudal system. After the end of the Western Weekend, the decline of the royal family and the emergence of a situation of great power competition for hegemony indicated the collapse of the feudal system. Under the influence of the loss of political security and the development of productive forces, the well field system was gradually replaced by private ownership of land in the late Spring and Autumn period, and the economic basis for the existence of feudal states finally collapsed, and a new economic foundation was born.
The collapse of the Ida system marked the collapse of the feudal system.
