What is the topic of Liu Zongyuan s article on feudalism?

In view of the dispute between the feudal system and the county system, Liu Zongyuan believed that the entire social history is a natural process of development, and there is an inevitable tendency of objective development that is not subject to people's will. The sub-feudal system has exposed all kinds of serious drawbacks, and the new county system can overcome the disadvantages of the sub-feudal system, and has superiority and progressiveness, so it strongly supports the county system. The evaluation of Qin Shi Huang also reflects the progressive nature of Liu Zongyuan's political thought.

The theme is: As for the common sense of the world, it is only when the governance is good and the political situation is stable that this can be supported by the people. Let the virtuous people be in the upper position, and the unworthy people will be in the lower position, and then they will be clear and stable.

The rulers of the feudal system ruled from generation to generation. Is this kind of hereditary ruler really virtuous? Is it really unscrupulous to be in the lower position?

In this way, it is impossible to know whether the people will be at peace or will suffer from chaos. If you want to unify the minds of the people in the interests of the country, and at the same time have hereditary doctors who have ruled their fiefdoms for generations, occupying all the territory of the vassal states, even if there are sages and sages who are born in that era, they will have no place to stand, and this consequence is caused by the feudal system. Could it be that the system of the saints is going to make things so bad?

So I said, "This is not the intention of the saints, but the result of the development of the situation." ”

This article is mainly about feudalism.

That is, the sub-sealing system. It is divided into feudal state) and the county system (i.e., the county system.

In contrast, the argument that feudalism is an outdated system; At the same time, it expresses the author's political and historical views: the system of dividing feudal states is discussed, and the author's main purpose is to state the advantages and disadvantages of feudalism and explain the advantages of the county system.

Liu Zongyuan. After a detailed analysis of the feudal system in ancient society, this paper puts forward the view that both the feudal system and the county system are the products of the development of the history of the closed and the county system, and the replacement of the feudal system by the county system is the inevitable result of social development. He harshly attacked the feudal feudal towns.

The situation of secession attacked the feudal society.

The irrational phenomena of "Shishi Luyi" and "the unscrupulous are on top, and the sages are on the bottom" illustrate with irrefutable facts that the county system is more advanced and superior than the feudal system, and at the same time it is more advanced and superior to Qin Shi Huang.

Historical merits and their mistakes are objectively evaluated.

The ideological significance and artistic achievements of the whole text far surpass those of similar treatises at that time, and it has made a correct conclusion on the long-debated debate in the history of our country on the superiority and inferiority of the feudal system and the county system. Even Su Shi, who has always had a negative attitude towards Liu Zongyuan's political ideas and ideological tendencies.

I also have to say: "In the past, the feudals, Cao Yuan, Lu Ji."

Liu Song, and Tang Taizong.

Shi Wei Zheng, Li Baiyao, Yan Shigu, followed by Liu Zhi, Du You, Liu Zongyuan. The theory of Zongyuan is out, and the theory of the sons is abolished, although the saint is resurrected, it cannot be easy.

The "Theory of Feudalism" first proposed that the establishment of feudalism was not based on the original intention of the sages, but was forced by the "situation", that is, the situation. This is a political situation. The sage that Liu Zongyuan is talking about is not Confucianism.

Revered Confucius.

At that time, Confucianism had not yet appeared. He is referring to the "ancient sage kings", referring to Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu, and he is collectively referred to as the sage, that is, the supreme ruler of the ancient state before and at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the king. The ancient sage kings relied on the feudal system to maintain their ruling power, and without the support of the princes, they could not sit on the throne.

Therefore, they were in favor of feudalism, completely out of selfishness, and the "Treatise on Feudalism" pointed out that they were "private for themselves, and for their children and grandchildren." However, the princes each dominated one side, shared the ruling power, and became stronger and stronger, competing with the ** regime, becoming a direct threat to the ancient sage king. At this time, feudalism became a problem for their henchmen, although they wanted to go away, they could not do it.

Therefore, the article repeatedly emphasized and put forward three times, "feudalism is not the will of the saints, and the power is also".

After a detailed analysis of the feudal system in ancient society, Liu Zongyuan put forward the view that both the feudal system and the county system are the products of historical development, and that the replacement of the chain brother feudal system by the county system is the inevitable result of social development. He severely criticized the situation of feudal feudal feudal towns and towns, and criticized the irrational phenomena of feudal society of "the world eats Luyi" and "the unscrupulous are at the top, and the sages are at the bottom", and explained with irrefutable facts that the county system is more upright and advanced and superior than the feudal system, and at the same time made an objective evaluation of Qin Shi Huang's historical merits and mistakes.

It reflects the class scene of the society at that time, that is to say, only the children of the nobility can be officials and be able to pass the championship.
