特别提示:政治制度是国体与政体的总和。中国古代政治制度就国体而言,有奴隶主贵族专政与封建地主阶级专政两种类型;就政体而论,有分封制与中央集权制两种主要形式。因此,中国古代政治制度史的分期,大体可以划分为两个大的阶段,即早期阶段(夏商周时期,前2070年-前476年)和发展阶段(战国至鸦片战争前的清朝,前475-1840年)。(1)早期阶段处在中国的奴隶制社会时期,主要是夏、商、周三代所实行的政治制度,王位世袭制、等级森严的分封制及血缘关系维系的宗法制,构成了我国古代早期政治制度的主要内容和特征。(2)发展阶段处于我国封建社会时期,中国古代专制主义中央集权制度逐步形成、发展、完善和加强,专制主义中央集权制度是中国古代政治制度的核心内容。 Special Note: The political system is the sum of state and polity. In the ancient Chinese political system, in terms of the state system, there are two types of dictatorship of the slave-owners and the dictatorship of the feudal landlord class. In terms of the political system, there are two main forms of partial system and centralized system. Therefore, the staging of the history of ancient Chinese political system can be roughly divided into two major stages, that is, the early stages (Xia and Shang Dynasties, before 2070 - 476 years) and the stage of development (the Warring States period to the Qing Dynasty before the Opium War, the former 475-1840). (1) In the early stage of slavery society in China, mainly the political system, the hereditary system of the throne, the hierarchical seal system and the patriarchal clan system maintained by kinship were mainly implemented in the summer, The main contents and characteristics of the political system. (2) Developmental stage In the period of feudal society in our country, the system of autocratic centralism in ancient China gradually formed, developed, improved and strengthened. The authoritarian centralized system of power was the core content of ancient Chinese political system.
