From the establishment of the Xia Dynasty in the 2nd/Kloc-0th century BC to the end of the Spring and Autumn Period in 476 BC, China was a slave society. Xia, founded by Yu's son Qi, was the earliest slave country in China. In the 6th century BC, when Wang Xia Jie was in power, Shang Tang led his troops to perish. The Shang Dynasty from16th century BC to 1 1 th century BC was the development period of slave society.
Agriculture and handicraft industry were developed in Shang dynasty, and the level of bronze smelting and casting was high. The written history of China began in Shang Dynasty. During the reign of Shang Zhouwang, Zhou Wuwang led the army to attack, and the business died. The Western Zhou Dynasty from 1 1 BC to 77 1 BC was the prosperous period of slave society. Western Zhou rulers practiced enfeoffment system and jingtian system.
During the reign, there was a "China Uprising", in which Li Wang fled and Zhou and Zhao took power. In 77 1 year BC, the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by dogs. During the Spring and Autumn Period from 770 BC to 476 BC, the slave society gradually disintegrated.
During this period, the Zhou royal family declined and the princes competed for hegemony. Due to the use of ironware and the appearance of Niu Geng, productivity increased and private land increased, which led to the gradual disintegration of the well field system based on state-owned land of slavery and the collapse of slavery.
The slavery society in China lasted from Xia Dynasty to Spring and Autumn Period, lasting about 1600 years. During this period, the educational content of slavery society mainly included the following aspects:
Etiquette education: The hierarchy of slave society is very strict, so etiquette education is very important. Etiquette education in slave society mainly teaches people how to obey the orders of their masters and superiors, and how to show proper manners and behaviors on different occasions.
Labor education: In a slave society, slaves are the main undertakers of labor, so labor education is also a very important part. Labor education is mainly to teach people all kinds of labor skills and production knowledge, so that they can be competent for all kinds of labor positions.
Faith education: In slave society, people's faith is also very important. Faith education is mainly to educate people about faith and religion, so as to strengthen people's religious belief and loyalty.
Language education: Language is also very important in slave society. Language education is mainly to teach people all kinds of language skills and writing skills in order to communicate and record better.
In a word, education is very important in China's slave society. Because of the class difference between slave owners and slaves, education also shows obvious class nature. This class difference between slave owners and slaves determines the great difference in their education.
