What is feudal ethics?

1. Family-oriented patriarchal ethics permeates everything.

1) Family-based patriarchal ethics has become one of the sources of value that dominate China people's spiritual activities. China was a patriarchal society in ancient times, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was a slave society, which emphasized kissing. In feudal society, rulers from the Han Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty advocated the rule of filial piety, which shows that the prevalence of patriarchal ethics does not change with the different social nature.

2) Formulated various legal principles to safeguard and embody patriarchal ethics. The rulers and thinkers in ancient China raised patriarchal ethics to legal norms, which fully demonstrated the necessity from the legal point of view.

2. Imperial power is supreme

The imperial power is supreme, the law comes from the monarch, and the monarch has the highest legislative power and judicial power, which has become a basic principle of feudal orthodox legal thought.

3. The concept of equality is lacking, and the idea of hierarchical privilege is strong. China was dominated by Confucianism in ancient times, and Confucianism mainly came from the rule of propriety. The characteristics of etiquette are different in respect of rank and rank, which makes the idea of rank privilege run through ancient Chinese laws all the time.
