What is Feudalism

Feudalism is a social ideology, and the social form in which it exists is feudal society.

Feudalism: A political and economic system in Europe from the 9th to about the 15th century based on the possession of all land in the form of fiefs and the resulting relationship between lord and vassal, characterized by the allegiance of tenant farmers, military service, and confiscation of property. (From the American Heritage Dictionary)

Feudalism simply means "to grant land and build vassals", "to grant land and build a country", "to grant a state", "to build a country", but in fact, the true meaning of feudalism is the concept of the "feudal society", the "feudal society". The meaning of feudal society is the Zhou Dynasty, after the Qin Dynasty should be called the centralized monarchy! (From Baidu Knowledge

Detailed definition:

The concept of feudalism is that the world is not a commonwealth, but is divided up among the vassals and aristocrats, or as in the case of the Greek tribes, they are self-governing. Feudal society was centralized through war or alliances of tribal city-states to form a system that functioned on the basis of a central pact, local tribute, tax collection, and handouts. The central element of feudalism was: the division of privileges to a minority group and the rule of the majority, such as princes and nobles or the citizens of Greece. Feudal society is characterized by the fact that material rights rule over everything. Imperial imperialism, on the other hand, is characterized by human rights over material rights; it is dominated by imperial power over material rights. Thus the opposite of feudalism is imperial imperialism.
