Many people are discussing from a political and cultural perspective who has had the greatest influence on China's historical development. Some say Confucius, some say Shang Martingale, and some people put forward the names of various proletarian revolutionaries. But I think the people who have had the greatest influence on the development of China's history are those who are in the interests of the ruling class. It is Confucius, shang martingale are like this.
It was only the political framework and the efficient operation system formulated by Shang Martin that were recognized by the rulers, and the history of the unification of the six kingdoms of the Qin State emerged. After unification, Confucius's Confucianism, after a simple castration, can conform to the dream of the ruling class to rule the entire empire. And there was no need to worry about division and war (challenging the rulers), so Confucius was put on the altar. In addition, there are also many students in the Hundred Sons and Hundred Schools, because they are partially in line with the ruling class's governance of the entire country, so they are also absorbed into this ruling system.
Therefore, the people who have the greatest and most profound impact on China's history are those who are in line with the interests of ruling the economy, in fact, not only China, but also the world. The development of religious thought, the monopoly of monotheism in the entire European ideology and culture, was actually in the interests of the ruling class at that time. The ruling class can be changed, and one revolution and one uprising can overthrow the old ruling class and re-establish the state order.
But the national order and this country wants to be truly unified. What was once propagated and exploited by the ruling class, their use will not be bad, it has long been more than that. Many cultural or political celebrities in the interests of the ruling class are not fixed. However, whether Zhang Juzheng or Liu Bowen is replaced, the basic characteristics of serving the ruling class will not change in the slightest.
Nor does the ruling class here refer specifically to the fact that the ruling class is constantly changing in any historical period. In different historical periods, the ruling class was also represented by different groups. As long as a ruling group becomes a vested interest in ruling an entire country, their basic demands are completely consistent.
In any society, there is a ruling class, a class of interests. Even in anarchy, society must be hierarchical. Naturally, there will be some people's interests, in order to protect their own interests, they must bind others to their own interest system. There will also be a contraction of the interests of some people. What you deserve becomes a gift from others to yourself. When he more or less got a little of the benefits and rights that he deserved, he was grateful to Dade.
No matter how advanced human beings are, they are also animals, and no matter how much the natural laws of animals are not recognized, they are also widespread in human society, unless you have enough resources to be able to avoid oppression. Otherwise, they can only become pawns in the eyes of some rulers and representatives of the interests of the ruling class, and talking about justice and equality is only words and words. The more social resources you have, the more justice and equality the society will naturally be.
