The history and current situation of the research on the system of court appointment in Zhou Dynasty

The appointment of the Western Zhou Dynasty is recorded in the historical materials (Shangshu, yizhoushu, Shijing, Yili and Zhouli) of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and can be traced and constructed in some ancient books compiled during the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. Such as (Mandarin · Lu language) said: "the first king system princes, so that five years four kings a phase." (Zuozhuan) Shuxiang in the 12th year of Zhaogong described "the system of Ming king".

From the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, scholars have done a lot of research work. For example, Zheng Xuan "annotated three rites" all over the world, and his original ideas about chaopin have become the basis of later generations' research. For example, he said (Zhou Li, chunguan, Da Dabo) that "there are eight differences between the guest rites" and that "different names and different rites" coincide with Xu Shen. Another example is (Yifeng L · Shuli) which has the sentence of "accept and give up in the Dynasty", and Zheng's note: "accept and give up next to the gate of Wenwang Temple", which has been confirmed by scholars today using the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

In addition to Zheng's annotation, Ma Rong, Wang Su, Kong Lun, Huang Kan, Kong Yingda, Jia Gongyan and other scholars annotated "three rites", and the research on chaopin should not be ignored. Among them, Wang Su's opinion is remarkable, refuting Zheng's gain and loss. Although the three rites "justice" in Tang Dynasty originated from Zheng Zhu, they also had their own advantages and disadvantages. Zhu Xi thought: "zhoulishu is the best."

In addition to the "three rites", Du Yu and Wei Zhao pointed out that (Zuozhuan) and (Guoyu) were involved in the appointment of chaopin. In other words, the preface to Mao's poems deals with the original meaning of the poems, involving a lot of people in the Zhou Dynasty. For example, (Yugao) shows the form of life giving ceremony, and (Hanyi) is also "able to order Princes". "Baihu Tongyi" Shoujin literati said that they had unique views on chaopin, for example, the vassal slaves saw the son of heaven: "when the king was first established, what did the vassal see? They should be subject to the Dharma Orthodox Church." There are many ways to display courtesy.

Kong Yingda's Shangshu Zhengyi, Maoshi Zhengyi, Chunqiu Zuozhuan Zhengyi, Xu Yan's Chunqiu Gongyang Zhuanshu and Yang Shixun's Chunqiu Guliang Zhuanshu absorbed the achievements of the Yishu of the northern and Southern Dynasties, and also put forward many views on the appointment of the Zhou Dynasty. Du you's "Tongdian" describes the appointment of the Zhou Dynasty, which is mainly reflected in the "courtesy" part. The author thinks that "chaoxianzongyu" is different.

At this stage, the characteristics of the research on the court appointment in Zhou Dynasty are as follows: (1) the court appointment was attached to the theory of Confucian classics, but more attention was paid to the excavation of the name and property system. (2) We began to pay attention to some theoretical problems of Zhou Dynasty. (3) It involves the relationship between the descendants and the Zhou Dynasty.

The collection and collation of the historical materials of the Zhou Dynasty, advocated the innovation of methods. For example, Zhu Xi's classification and compilation of Yi Li Jing Chuan Tong Shi is different from the predecessors. Taking "state rites" as an example, it is divided into "betrothal rites, Yan rites, Court Affairs, courteous rites of Princes". The basic method is: "take (Yili) as the Scripture, and take the book of rites and other miscellaneous books on the history of scriptures, all of which are attached to this Scripture, with annotations.". There is a little sense in all the Confucianists This compilation of classifications has a great influence on future generations. PI Xirui thought that Zhang Erqi, Wu Tinghua, Jiangyong, Qin Huitian and so on "all use the method of Zhu Zi."

Ye Shi's book of rites, Huiyuan, aims at the gist of Zhou rites. All the 100 articles are related to traffic, so as to express the meaning of the book of rites, and to become a speaker of one's own. Related to chaopin, there are "Hou Gong, Yan Li, menzhi, Wang Ao, feudalism, Jiao temple, Binli, Ruijie, rites and music, Mianfu, YUEWU, Mingtang, Xumeng, emissary" and so on. It disturbs the order of Zhouli and discusses it by special topics, which is not limited to Zheng's notes and widely quoted.

Wei Ti (the book of rites) said that "it is the most comprehensive and profound to adopt the words of the masses." "One hundred and forty-four schools were selected from Zheng's notes. Other books related to Feng l Ji are not included here. " For example, the sentence of "so the emperor made princes, who were appointed younger than the year, who were appointed more than three years, and who were strict with each other in courtesy" in the book of Pinyi quoted the saying of "Zheng's, Kong's, Lantian's, Changle's, Chen's, Yanling's and Fang's", but this book has great contribution to "adopt and put forward the group's words" and little power to "attach one's own righteousness".

Nie Chongyi (the new three rites map), according to the map of Zheng Xuan, Ruan Zhan, Xia Hou Fulang and other six families, studied and annotated each other, which had a great influence on later scholars, among which the map annotation about chaopin was quite valuable. Yang Fu also has a painting of rites, which is detailed in the layout of the ceremony. The 205 painting is also the first one. As for Chao pin, there are also refutations of Zheng xuanzhi's theory, some of which are correct.

Zhang Daheng's Chunqiu Wuli Yizong, for the first time, classified the related cases recorded in Chunqiu jingzhuan as Wuli. Most of the cases involving chaopin were found in "Binli" and "Jili", which provided great convenience for researchers.

Wang kekuan's "Jingli Buyi" is the work of "Tongli" in Yuan Dynasty. It arranges the contents of rites in Yili, Zhouli, the book of rites, Chunqiu and other Confucian classics, such as Shangshu and Shijing, according to the five rites of good or bad army, Binjia and Jiaqing. The eighth volume of the book is the guest gift, which includes "court gift, gaze gift, patriarchal gift, encounter gift, Shi Hui gift, Yin Tong gift, Shi betrothal gift, Jian Wen gift, Zhegong gift, Jiang Yuanping, Yin Jicha.". Xi Ming Li, items to be different. From the treatment of specific materials, Wang kekuan's classification can be discussed. For example, the emperor's encounter with the princes is obviously different from that of the princes. Qu Li Kan Hou Xia and Chunqiu Jing refer to the meeting of princes, which is different from Zhou Li.
