The "door valve system" is a product of the highly developed political and economic strength of the Shijia hao. So what is the "door valve system"? In ancient times, there were two pillars outside the gate of the high-ranking officials and nobles, the left one was called "valve" and the right one was called "reading", which was the symbol of generations of officials. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Mongol clan monopolized important official positions in the government and became hereditary bureaucrats. And through the mutual marriage between the clans to form the door valve aristocratic class, and a set of hierarchical system to maintain the privileges of the door valve was formulated called the "door valve system".
The "door valve system" originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was established in the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Southern and Northern Dynasties period. Under this system, family lineage is the highest measure of identity. This article mentions the shi clan, what is the shi clan: either you are a big official, rich and powerful, or a "scholar clan", only those who have been a high official from generation to generation are called "shi clan".
In order to preserve the prestige of the Mendi clan, they must marry each other, and if other circumstances occur, they will be severely punished. Now young people get married, some old people are still paying attention to the door to the door, this situation, especially in the rich family, this is the bad habit left at that time, you can see how many years the door valve system has been affected.
"Genealogy" everyone knows, right? It is also a product of the "door valve system". In order to maintain his identity, each clan recorded the members of the family from generation to generation, for later verification, so that others could not impersonate. The government has also set up a special "genealogy bureau", and people who are proficient in "genealogy" serve in the office. And "genealogy" has become a specialized learning flourishing.
In order to flaunt their special status, the warriors also developed a set of extremely cumbersome rituals. For example, speaking outside, it is not allowed to involve any word in the names of other scholars' ancestors, and the harmonic pronunciation is not GOOD, if it does not violate the taboos of others, it must be done "the day to a thousand guests, not to commit a person's secret." This is also a deformed phenomenon under the door valve system. I want to say, it is still good now, there are not so many rules and regulations, how good it is for everyone to be free.
Under such systems, the gentry generally did not speak to civilians. Even royalty, if they come from a humble background, they will look down on it. For this matter, even the emperor could not intervene. The imperial court appoints officials, it does not matter whether there is talent or not, as long as your family status is high, you can become a high official. You don't have to worry about the effort to enjoy the high-ranking official Houlu. One by one, they are thin-skinned and tender, and they are breathless after two steps, and when they encounter storms such as rebellion, they will be seriously hit.
The corrupt "door valve system" is a special form of feudal society and hierarchical system. It reflects the vicious expansion of the power of the warrior clan, and also marks the imminent demise of the door valve nobles.
