The traditional concept of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties is

After Qin Shihuang unified the Central Plains, he began to enter the feudal society, so some people classified Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties before Qin Dynasty as slave society. In fact, the slave society was not put forward by China, but explained by Western Marxism. The so-called slave society is the social labor that exploits people. Slaves are regarded as personal property and can be bought and sold freely. But in fact, this phenomenon did not appear in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China, so Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties were not slavery, but the clan system directly developed into clan feudalism.

1. What is the slave society in the Marxist concept? With the development of the Neolithic Age, the efficiency of human beings has been improved. In addition to maintaining people's daily life, products produced by society began to have surplus. So there was a phenomenon that slaves could be bought and sold. Slave owners can force slaves to work for free. You can also sell slaves to others to make money. If most of the goods sold in a society are slaves, then such a society is called a slave society. So slaves are the main source of goods.

Second, the social nature of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. After understanding what slave society is, let's take a look at Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The main producers in early China were farmers and landlords were political rulers. In a book of Shangshu, it was recorded that the slaves in early ancient China were caused by the mistakes of enemy countries or prisoners of war. They are not engaged in production, and there is no hereditary statement. Later, in the Zhou Dynasty, there was an official position in charge of these affairs. They don't engage in economic production, but they try to do some tedious things. It can be concluded that Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China were not a slave society.

Thirdly, the slave society of Asian mode of production was only put forward by Marx by applying the western development process, but due to the uniqueness of China's historical development, he also put forward the Asian mode of production to supplement his unfamiliar fields. Put it outside your own theory.
