Abdication: A way for China to change its rulers, which means that the incumbent monarch relinquishes his sovereignty to others before his death. Formally speaking, abdication was voluntarily carried out by the incumbent monarch, with the aim of allowing more talented people to govern the country.

Usually abdication is to hand over power to a different surname, which will lead to the replacement of dynasties, which is called "external Zen"; Giving way to one's blood relatives with the same surname is called "internal production", and giving way is usually called "Tai shang huang", which does not lead to the replacement of dynasties.

Breaking the vague boundaries before, the ruler is the ruler, and the ruled is always the ruled.

This fixed social stratification can promote the development of productive forces. The ruler thinks about how to govern, and the ruled thinks about how to serve his son. For example, the Shang Dynasty created a prosperous bronze civilization, and abdication was only in a small primitive society. This is not a strict division of roles that hinders social development with the progress of productive forces, but a good division of labor. Hereditary throne is the guarantee of this division of labor.
