回眸中国古代地方政治的贪腐与黑暗

Reviewing of the Corruption and Darkness of Local Politics in Ancient China

以马克思主义对等级授职制批判为指导,分五个方面对古代地方政治的主流予以回顾和总结。强调历朝历代地方政治的贪腐与黑暗,简直就是在一个模子里刻出来的。这个模子非它,就是专制主义中央集权的等级授职制,各种贪腐与黑暗的遗传密码正是在这个模子里得到了世世代代的传承和发扬。研究中国古代地方政治,正是为了将古代地方政治制度史,写成活的地方政治制度史。在一般情况下,信息传递对地方政治的好坏,其作用是相当次要的。

This paper reviews the main stream of local politics in ancient China from five aspects basing on Marxist criticism on the system of granting official position by rank. The author argues that the corruption and darkness of local politics that existed in each dynasty are almost made from the same mold,namely the system of granting official position by rank under centralized autocratic government. According to the author,the purpose of exploring the local politics in ancient China is to make the history of Chinese ancient political systems vivid. Generally speaking,information transfer plays a minor role as a factor to determine the goodness or badness of local politics.
