The etymology of feudalism comes from Shangshu and Zuozhuan. "Sealed" means packaging. "Establishment" means the establishment of a country. It is the original meaning of the word to split the territory and establish a small country of vassal States and monarchies. It not only refers to the feudal system and feudal social form, but also refers to conservative, conservative and closed conservative thoughts.

Anti-feudalism refers to opposing feudal autocratic rule, feudal social form and decadent and backward feudal thought.

Second, the modern significance of feudalism

Nowadays, the word feudalism in spoken language also refers to conservative and backward thinking.

The feudal society described in Qu Tongzu's Feudal Society in China is the real feudalism, that is, the system of enfeoffment.

After Qin dynasty, the society was no longer a enfeoffment system, but a centralized system or a monarchy.

Feudalism, which is usually said now, is indeed derogatory, ranging from arranged marriages, foot-binding, burning incense and worshipping Buddha, taking advantage of petty gain by love, feudal superstition, to the political and economic system that existed before, and so on.

Anti-feudal Movement in China's History

First, the new culture movement.

19 15 years, Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Lu Xun, Hu Shi, Cai Yuanpei, Qian and others carried out an ideological and cultural innovation and literary revolution movement against tradition, Confucianism and classical Chinese, which was called the "new culture movement" in history.

This movement dealt a heavy blow to the traditional ethics that ruled China for more than two thousand years, stimulated people's democratic consciousness, promoted the development of modern science in China, and laid an ideological foundation for the spread of Marxism in China and the outbreak of the May 4th patriotic movement.

Second, the May 4th Movement.

19 19 On May 4th, a patriotic movement, mainly composed of young students, the broad masses, citizens, businessmen and other classes, took place in Beijing through demonstrations, petitions, strikes and violent anti-government, which was also called the May 4th storm.

The May 4th Movement directly influenced the birth and development of China, which was generally defined as "anti-imperialist and anti-feudal patriotic movement" in the history of China (note that the word "feudalism" here is a broad feudal concept), and regarded this movement as a watershed between the old democratic revolution and the new democratic revolution.

Third, the workers of the Jinghan Railway went on strike.

The workers' strike in Jinghan Railway was the climax of the first workers' movement led by China. The strike ended in failure, but it further demonstrated the strength of the working class in China and expanded the influence of the Party among the people of the whole country.
