Is ancient society the opposite of modern society?

I think that the ancient society and the modern society are not opposite, the modern society inherited the essence of the ancient society, the traditional ideology and culture of the ancient society to carry forward, as well as the wisdom and technology left by the predecessors to further carry forward, our current social civilization is more and more developed, the relationship between people is more and more harmonious, the phenomenon of uncivilization should be gradually reduced, so the ancient society and the modern society should be said to be in the same line, is on the basis of the ancient society to further develop and prosper and become strong.

No, ancient and modern societies are opposite in one aspect, but they are interconnected in one aspect.

In many cases, the civilization of modern society has been passed down in ancient society, so it is necessary to correctly view the relationship between ancient society and modern society, and we cannot completely deny it.

The contrast between ancient society and modern society can be very obvious. Or modern society has progressed. There is no such thing as the opposite, it's just that your personal thinking is going backwards.

It is not the complete opposite, the Chinese still inherit a lot of ancient things, such as loyalty, etiquette, filial piety, in terms of social nature, in ancient times it was a feudal small peasant society, and now it is a socialist market society.

All the same, selfishness, aggression, hatred, technical conditions, destructive power, and concealment are not the same.

Yes, but only in some parts the opposite.

There is a big difference between modern society and ancient society, and the main difference is that modern society is a society of industrial commercialization and information technology, while ancient society is an agricultural society.

In an agrarian society, the vast majority of people are engaged in agricultural production, and the main production relationship is the relationship between landlords and peasants, and the main means of production is land. The organizational structure of society is also organized in the form of an agrarian society (familial), the population is basically immobile, and people and wealth are mainly dependent on the land. Other industries such as handicrafts and commerce are auxiliary.

In the industrial, commercial and information society, the vast majority of people are mainly engaged in industrial production, and the main production relations are the owners of capital and laborers without capital. Capital plays a decisive role in social relations, people and wealth are also completely dependent on capital, and the organizational structure of society is also united by capital. In a sense, agriculture can also be organized and implemented in the form of industry.

There was a great movement of population, and the families formed by the agrarian society were completely dissolved.

Ancient societies were theocratic patriarchal societies. Even the most democratic ancient Greece was a patriarchal society with theocratic supremacy. Moreover, the ancient society was a closed society that was self-sufficient and mainly agrarian.

Except for primitive societies, ancient societies were hierarchical societies, with a generally low level of culture and poor communication in the whole society.

Modern society should be a civil society of human rights. Although it is not a hierarchical society, but a class society, there are still more or less patriarchal remnants at present. Modern society is a commodity society dominated by large-scale commodity production based on industry.

After the completion of the many industrial revolutions, the modern society will enter a knowledge society again, the cultural level will be greatly improved, social exchanges and communication will be greatly improved, and the information flow of the whole society will be generally developed.

If one gives an example of a modern country that does not meet these criteria, it does not mean that the above criteria are incorrect, but rather that the country has not yet fully entered the modern world.

The difference is when the ancients slept.

You're playing with your phone in a brightly lit room.

There is no difference, and you can only rely on yourself if you want to change.

This is just an idealized realm, and the vast majority of people can't do it.

First of all, most people in ancient times did not have the opportunity to read, and the common people who had not read generally did not have this awareness, and they were satisfied if they could be fed and clothed, and some even if they understood this truth, they might not be able to demand themselves according to this standard.

Even the majority of the scholar class is only benevolent and humble on the surface, but secretly corrupt and pervert the law, and do many evils. This is especially true at the end of each dynasty. But there are also officials who really love the people like sons, but there are not many.

Of course, on the surface, everyone still has to act according to benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, otherwise of course they will be despised by others. But in fact, everyone knows it, and it's just a show.

Looking at the historical records, it seems that only the atmosphere in the early Tang Dynasty was very good, and the real night did not close the door, the road was not left behind, and there were only a few dozen death row prisoners a year, but some historians believe that this was tampered with by Li Shimin. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Zhu Yuanzhang killed more than 10,000 people at most at one time, in fact, this was generally the case throughout ancient times.

In fact, this thing is common to ancient and modern, and the leading cadres in the news you watch every day are not also diligent in government and love the people, and devote themselves to serving the country, but there are actually several such ones.

Most of them are like this, but there is a shameless character in their real inner world.

This is the case for most of the readers. There are scum among them.

Ordinary people want to live a stable life, no one bother, and the poor want to be fed and clothed, which is the majority of groups and the main part of ancient society.

It should be said that in ancient times, folk customs were an important item in the assessment. Of course, some people cheat, but at least the state attaches importance to people's customs.

The problems are two-sided, the improvement of the people's customs has boosted the local ideology, and the people's concept of the country is getting smaller and smaller, so Lu Xun said that "the country is light, but the country is important, and the courage to fight to the death, stealing in the public war".

There are pros and cons. Now, there are only disadvantages!

Ancient Society is a famous book by Louis Henry Morgan, a famous American scholar in the 19th century. The original work is in English, and has been reprinted many times and translated into a variety of imitation orthography.

Since the 20s of the 20th century, China has translated and published many times.

In his book Ancient Society, Morgan has a wonderful discussion of the early access to food in human society, and the relationship between access to food and the development of human society, and he argues: "The ability of human beings to conquer the earth depends entirely on the ingenuity of their production technology." Of all living things, only humans can be said to have absolute control over the production of food; But in the earliest days, humans were no better than other animals in this regard.

If the base of the means of subsistence is not expanded, it will be impossible for human beings to reproduce in other places where they do not produce their original food, let alone eventually reproduce all over the world. In the final analysis, if human beings do not have absolute control over the variety and quantity of food, it is impossible for them to reproduce into many densely populated peoples. Therefore, each important new epoch in the process of human progress is more or less correspondingly consistent with the expansion of the resources of life. Morgan believes that in the process of human social development, the five survival techniques that are inherited in sequence are:

Whole foods, fish foods, starchy foods, meat and dairy foods, and endless foods obtained through the fields.

In this book, Morgan further developed the theory of family evolution proposed in his book The System of Blood and In-Marriage of the Human Family (1871), and comprehensively expounded the theory of evolution of human society from the lower to the higher stage. The book is divided into four parts.
