摘要
在中国古代文明起源的研究中,礼制十分重要。分封制是周代重要的礼制之一,也是三代国家成熟性的代表制度。如若追溯中国古代的国家文明起源,要追溯及氏族部落的形成分化重组和赐姓命氏制度等,这都与周代分封制之前的早期分封具有密切联系。如何把部落氏族制下众多分立的、大小强弱相悬的部落邦族,改造为周代五等爵制那样统一集中的等级制诸侯封国体制,是早期分封出现以来始终在追求的目标。对中国古代国家文明起源的探索,就包括在对早期分封的剖析观察中。所谓普遍原理及酋邦等概念,都只能作这种研究的参考。真正要解决中国古代的国家文明起源问题,还必须到中国古代所传下、与所谓封建、分封等相关的概念或文献记载中去钩稽考索,才能取得切实的答案。
The ritual system is of great significance to the study of the source of Chinese ancient civilization. Vassalage was an essential constituent in the ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty, which represented the maturity of State of Three Generations. The Chinese ancient civilization can he traced back to the period when clans were split and reunited, and surnames began to be granted, all of which were closely related to the early vassalage which had already existed before the vassalage of the Zhou Dynasty. The early vassalage aimed at transforming the clan system in which numerous clans are independent and varied in size and strength into the Five - Title aristocratic system in which the number states were granted with different titles under the rule of supreme emperor. The exploration of the Chinese ancient civilization involves the analysis of the early vassalage. The so - called universal principle and such concepts as clan, etc only serve as references in the study. In order to answer the question about the source of the Chinese ancient civilization, we have to study the historical documents in which such concepts as vassalage and feudalism are recorded.
