What are the manifestations of feudalism?

Feudalism is a system of thought based on and serving the feudal economic relations and political system. Its basic content is the concept of hierarchy and the idea of privilege, as well as the "Three Principles and Five Constants" (i.e., the king as a subject, the father as a son, the husband as a wife, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith), the women's "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" (i.e., the father's obedience to the father before marriage, the husband's obedience to the husband after marriage, the husband's obedience to the son after the death of the husband, and the ethics and morals of the woman's morality, her speech, her appearance, and her merits). The ethical morality of the "three virtues" of women (i.e., women's virtue, women's speech, women's appearance, women's merit).

China's feudalistic ideology has developed over a long period of time, forming a complete system. Since the founding of New China, the economic base and political system of feudalism have been destroyed, but the influence of the residual ideology of feudalism is still widespread in society, and is even clearly reflected in our Party. It binds people's minds and hinders social progress. Purging the remnants of feudalism is a long-term and arduous task on the ideological front.
