According to the imperial succession system in ancient Chinese feudal society, the eldest son should be appointed as the prince, that is, the crown prince, and the other sons have no chance to inherit the status, unless the eldest son dies or dies early, at this time, the primogeniture system is still the inheritance principle. Therefore, Li Shimin could not inherit the throne. Hope it helps!

The feudal system is a system in which ancient Chinese kings or emperors divided their vassals. Next, we will share the influence of the Western Zhou Dynasty sub-sealing system for reference.
1.Positive Impact:
1) The feudal system summed up the historical experience, organically combined the establishment of local political power with the consolidation of its own rule, and the Zhou Dynasty formulated a series of systems in the process of dividing the feudal princes, so that the royal family could effectively control the entire territory.
2) The feudal system made a unified social system widely practiced in the vassal states, and the Zhou royal family used the provisions of power and duty to make Zhou Tianzi a veritable prince of princes, changing the situation that the king was the chief of the princes in the Xia and Shang eras.
2.Negative impacts.
1) 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. Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. Large countries merge small countries, countries with the same surname also fight with each other, Zhou Tianzi can't control it, and in the last years of the Warring States Period, the Zhou royal family completely lost the power to divide the feuds.
2) Zhou Tianzi had supreme authority, and the state power gradually became more and more stringent from loose. However, the feudal princes enjoyed considerable independence within their own domains.
1. One of the characteristics of the feudal system is that it is complementary to the patriarchal system. It was possible to expand the power of the patrilineal line, and at the same time lay the foundation for the continuation of the feudal system.
2. The second aspect of the characteristics of the feudal system was that it was implemented on the basis of blood, which was also a political structure in the country at that time.
3. The third aspect of the characteristics of the feudal system is that although the monarch seems to be in charge of power on the surface, in the final analysis, this power is still not highly concentrated, because you must know that the power of these princes in the vassal states is still very independent, even if the supreme rule is still the monarch, but there will still be an inevitable phenomenon of separation.
The primogeniture system is the core. Whether it is the king of Zhou, the princes, or the princes and scholars, they all implement the primogeniture inheritance system. The eldest son is the main inheritor of land, property and rights, has the privilege of the main sacrifice ancestor, and has the most noble status, so the eldest son is also called the son.
Under the patriarchal system, the eldest son passed on the lineage, and this system became the main clan.
The primogeniture system was established at the end of the Yin Shang dynasty (not in the Western Zhou dynasty). Yan Changshu's distinction, the eldest son's half-brother and mother-in-law brother are small sects. The patriarchal system established a strict system of large and small sects, and the large and small sects were opposed.

What we now call the feudal system generally refers to the feudal system of the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty, learned the lessons of his predecessors and believed that the feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the county system of Qin were not perfect, so he created a parallel county system, that is, feudal + county. But if you look closely, you will find that we say that the county system is a feudal country + a county.
The feudal system in the Western Han Dynasty county system is derived from the Western Zhou sub-feudal system, but it is slightly different, such as the feudal kingdom has no military power; ownership of the enclosed land; The setting of official positions is subject to ** restrictions, etc. Therefore, there is a difference in the name between the two. But in fact, to put it bluntly, both are the emperor's distribution of land to the children of the same or different surnames, and the essence is not much different.
Pay attention to the time when using: the sub-feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the feudal system in the Western Han Dynasty county system.
