The political system in ancient China (slave society and feudal society) can be divided into central political system, local political system and political system of selecting and using officials.

The three main lines of Chinese political history are: the continuous strengthening of centralization, the continuous strengthening of autocratic monarchy and the continuous fairness and standardization of talent selection. The main laws of the history of the rise and fall of the dynasty are: long-term separation must be combined, long-term separation must be separated; Times make heroes, heroes make teenagers.

The venation of centralization: Western Zhou Dynasty (enfeoffment system, patriarchal clan system)-Qin Dynasty (county system)-Western Han Dynasty (favor order, secretariat system)-Tang Dynasty (our time)-Song Dynasty (accepting elite soldiers and civil servants)-Yuan Dynasty (provincial system)-Ming and Qing Dynasties continued (Ming Dynasty abolished China's book storage system and set up three divisions)

The venation of absolute monarchy: Western Zhou Dynasty (enfeoffment system)-Qin Dynasty (three public officials and nine ministers system)-Western Han Dynasty (imperial court minister system)-Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties (three long systems)-Sui and Tang Dynasties (three provinces and six departments system)-Song Dynasty (two governments and three departments system)-Yuan Dynasty (middle book system)-Ming Dynasty (abolishing the prime minister and establishing a cabinet).

The system of selecting officials and employing people: Western Zhou Dynasty (Shiqing Shilu system)-Qin Dynasty (military rank system)-Han Dynasty (inspection system, levy system)-Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties (nine-grade Zheng Zhi system)-Sui Dynasty (imperial examination system)-Tang and Qing Dynasties continued (Wu Zetian initiated martial arts and palace examination in Tang Dynasty, and the examination content in Ming Dynasty was limited to four books and five classics.

History always develops in twists and turns, and the systems of past dynasties not only inherit each other, but also develop separately.
