The records of titles in pre-Qin literature are mainly found in Mencius Zhang Wan. According to the Zhou Dynasty, there are five titles: Emperor, Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi and Gong. The Book of Rites published in his later years classified children except the son of heaven, that is, the so-called public, Hou, uncle, son and public. Whether the pre-Qin title system reflected in the literature is accurate or not is still controversial by scholars. However, referring to Oracle Bone Inscriptions and inscriptions, it is certain that Xia Jue's system is unknown and the details of the commercial system are difficult to understand. Only the knighthood system from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Warring States Period can roughly determine its rank and order.
2. The meaning of Jun as a monarch first appeared in Xia Dynasty.
Absolute monarchy: refers to the centralized political system with ancient kings as the core, which was born out of the patriarchal clan system in the late primitive society. Religious sacrifice and military conquest are the top priorities of absolute monarchy, which is the so-called "national affairs are worship and conquest". There were two interpretations of the word "Wang" in ancient China. One is Dong Zhongshu's view that heaven and earth are king; Second, the "King" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the symbol of the axe, so the legendary Duke of Zhou "axe face south".
Changhe, which appeared in the Warring States period, has another meaning.
This kind of monarch is second only to the supreme ruler, highly trusted, or highly successful, and only a few governors in later generations can match it.
