论姬周王朝封建赏赐的政治意义

On the Political Significance of the Feudal Reward in the Zhou Dynasty

封建赏赐的举行,对有周一代国家的政治生活产生过深远影响。它从根本上削弱了殷商贵族的反抗力量,客观上消融和瓦解了殷商政权以血缘关系为纽带组建的社会组织。新建立的诸侯国是带有"华夏化"性状的地域性政治单位,有利于国家的统一和边疆的稳定;封建赏赐过程中建立的听命于姬周政权的诸侯国,它们是开疆拓土和拱卫王室安全的重要军事力量;封建赏赐加强了姬周和四夷地区文化的交流与融合,促成了有着相同文化价值观念和种族意识的"华夏"民族的初步形成。

The practice of feudal reward had a far-reaching impact on the political life of the Zhou Dynasty.It fundamentally weakened the resistance force of the Shang aristocrats,objectively melted and disintegrated the social organizations formed by the Shang Dynasty based on kinship.The newly established kingdoms were regional political units with the“Hua Xia”character,which was beneficial to the unification of the state and the stability of the border areas;The kingdoms of the Zhou Dynasty established in the process of rewarding were important military forces for expanding the territory and protecting the royal family.The feudal reward strengthened the cultural exchange and integration of the Zhou Dynasty and the barbarian tribes on the borders,and contributed to the initial formation of the“Chinese”nation with the same cultural values and race consciousness.
