The history of China's title.
China's title is closely related to feudalism. The original meaning of "feng" is not the fixed word "feudalism" (its original meaning is "the emperor gave people land, people, titles and titles"), but the word "feng" began to sound the same as "feng", just like "planting trees on the mound" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions's and inscriptions, but the purpose of planting trees here is to demarcate, and "feng" means "feng". Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Tu Bu teaches that "seal, the land of princes" is only an extension of the meaning, not the original meaning; Shuowen said that the word "seal" "followed, from the soil, from the inch, keep its system." Duke is 100 Li, uncle is 70 Li and son is 50 Li. "It is influenced by people's retrospection after the Warring States Period.
From the unearthed Shang Dynasty Oracle Bone Inscriptions, at least from Wuding, there were many countries in the Central Plains. Wu Ding made a meritorious military commander, and the fief was called "Hou X", such as "Hou Que" in the "sparrow" land; The son who was sealed out was called Zi X. For example, the son Zheng who was sealed in Zheng was sealed in Song Dynasty, while the wife who was sealed out at that time was also called Fu Pang and Fu Xing according to the fief. For some neighboring countries that recognized the suzerainty of Shang Dynasty, Wu Ding also gave titles according to their original country names. For example, Zhou was named as "Zhou Hou", "Jingbo" and "Tiger Hou". "Hou" and "Bo" are titles conferred by him, while "Fu" and "Zi" belong to their family relationship, so they are regarded as titles. Historians believe that China had a very complete feudal system in the late Shang Dynasty, and the resulting "title" system.
