Order is influenced by both space and power."Spatial power" and "spatial power" promote the construction and solidification of spatial order and form the continuity of ultra-stable order.China’s modern state construction is the convergence of morphological diversity to governance homogeneity.The differences and non-equilibrium of national politics,economy and society in different regions determine the richness of the path and process of China’s modern state construction.Tibet,which combines the two characteristics of frontier space and ethnic minority area,is a typical representative of China’s modern state form diversity and governance homogeneity.Traditional and modern factors are concentrated in Tibet.As an endogenous system lasting for a long time in the history of Tibet,the feudal manorial system is not only the most typical social system form in the historical development of Tibet,but also the key node connecting the feudal society and the modernization process of Tibet.Although traditional Tibet and the Central Plains together constitute the construction of modern China,unlike the Central Plains civilization,which went through the feudal society and entered the embryonic stage of capitalist society,Tibet was under the feudal seirage system for more than a thousand years from the 9th century to the middle of the 20 th century.It was not until 1959 that the movement began to modernize with the Democratic Reform Movement.So,different from the Central Plains,which experienced the embryonic stages of feudal society and capitalism,why can the manorial system,as a single social system form,have such long-term social stability and historical continuity in Tibet? How did the ultra-stable ruling order of traditional Tibetan manor society come into being and be solidified and sustained?As for the cause of the long-term continuation of the manor dominance system in Tibet,previous studies believe that it is closely related to the background color and origin of the manor dominance system in Tibet.The manor dominance system was mainly affected by the remnants of slavery,and developed in a unique form from different bases,following different paths.The natural "harmony" factor of the possession of the lords of the means of production was fully reflected in the Tibetan manor society,which constituted the core of the long-term continuation of the manor dominance system in Tibet.Through the historical investigation of Q Manor,it is found that the manor space and the "domination-slavery" relationship behind it are the regional attributes and basic characteristics of the manor dominance system in Tibet,and the manor dominance system is the collection of spatial,social and political.Therefore,different from previous macroscopic and holistic perspectives,this paper starts from the micro-perspective of "space" and combines the spatial form,spatial rank,spatial power and other elements of manor serfdom to construct the theoretical analysis framework of "space-rank-power",and explores the internal logic of the long-term continuation of the manor dominance system in Tibet from the micro-power perspective.Based on the above research ideas,this paper takes "space shaping--’dominating space’--’enslaved space’--space order" as the research vein,and forms the following research designs: First,it summarizes the relationship superposition of consanguinity,geography,business ties and other "relationship superposition" and the formation of manor space.The second is to analyze the process of the space ruling class,which consists of the Zong government "Zong root",the temple "Diba",the manor Lord and the manor agent,to construct the "domination space" for serfs.The third is to discuss the process and details of "enslavement space" shaped by the ruling class,namely serf group,as the manor space.Fourthly,it summarizes the super-stable spatial ruling order formed by the interaction between manor lords and serfs under the role of spatial form,spatial rank,spatial power and other elements.After summarizing and analyzing the full text,the following conclusions are drawn and discussed: First,"spatial power" and "spatial power" are the dual dimensions of the long-term continuation of the manorial system in Tibet.Manor space is the carrier of Lord power operation,and Lord power solidifies the ruling order of manor space.Under the dual dimensions of "spatial power" and "spatial power",the manor space became the "collector" of Lord power.Meanwhile,Lord power was also integrated into the manor space and manifested everywhere.Thus,the stability of serfdom in Tibetan manor was solidified and continued for a long time.Secondly,the theoretical value of the analytical framework is discussed.Different from the existing perspectives of power research in feudal society,this paper establishes an analytical framework of "space-rank-power" from the micro-perspective of "space" based on the investigation of historical forms.Thirdly,it discusses the enlightenment of modernization of social space power in Xizang manor.To build a good spatial order of modern society,it is necessary to take the manorial system of Tibet as an example,not only to remove "hierarchy" from the space,but also to bring "governance" into the space.
