What is the internal and external service system? Why did the Shang Dynasty adopt this system?

the system of internal and external service:

internal service is the activity area of the merchants' own clan, and external service is a subordinate country other than the merchants' clan.

Reason:

The Shang King handled the affairs of his own people and the foreign people he surrendered through two different management systems. Thus, the Shang king controlled the actual power of the alliance and formed a dominant and dominated relationship with the subordinate countries.

A dual ruling system adopted by Shang Dynasty after Pan Geng moved to Yin. That is to say, the ruling area is divided into oral administration and external administration, and different ruling methods and organization methods are adopted respectively. "Oral administration" refers to the land of Wang Ji directly under the jurisdiction of Shang Wang, which is generally located in the Central Plains region with Henan as the center. "Waifu" refers to the land outside the capital under the indirect jurisdiction of the Shang King through the leaders of Fang States, that is, a large number of Fang States and tribes around at that time.

Extended information:

(1) Internal and external service relationship:

1. There is a loose alliance relationship

2. Shang Wang is the * * * leader of the alliance between Fang and China.

3. Fang's backward influence on the rise and fall of Shang Dynasty

This system was developed and evolved from the tribal alliance system in the late primitive society. The internal and external service system implemented in Shang Dynasty was actually a kind of alliance between Fang and Guo, and the Shang king was the master of the world, and the foreign service was actually a vassal-ruled area. However, in Xia and Shang Dynasties, it was far from enfeoffment, and most tribes originally existed, or Fang was in an independent or semi-independent state. It was not until the Western Zhou Dynasty that the enfeoffment system was really implemented.

(II) Purpose of the system:

1. Continuation of the tradition of tribal alliance.

2. In order to consolidate the rule.

(3) the rule of the Shang dynasty:

1. The relationship between the central government and the affiliated countries is relatively loose

The control of the Shang king over the affiliated countries participating in the alliance is limited. Each subordinate country basically maintains its original social structure, and has great autonomy in addition to its due obligations to business. Some affiliated countries are often at war with business.

2, full of theocracy

Shang dynasty is a dynasty filled with theocracy. The Shang king must do divination every day, and he must also do divination when things happen, and sacrifice people as sacrifices to pay homage to ghosts and gods. Shang kings strengthened their kingship by monopolizing theocracy.
