A Study Of Dayu Control Floods And The Origin Of The Country

The origin of a country has always been a hot topic of research,and when the origin of a country of China has been debated in the field of history.our ancient ancestors have created a culture that has been continued up to now and has never been cut off.At the same time,in the long course of historical development,the early Chinese civilization was not influenced by foreign cultures,but developed independently in its own system.To study the development of world civilization to explore the origin of a country.In the early history of civilization,most of human activities were related to fighting against floods.However,at the beginning of human civilization,the significance of fighting against floods was far greater than fighting against floods itself.The period of the Yellow Emperor recorded in Records of the Grand Historian was in the patrilineal clan community stage.With the outbreak of inter-tribal wars,each tribe entered into the era of military democratic tribal alliance in order to win the war.This era also lasted from the Yellow Emperor to the Yao and Shun Dynasties as recorded in Records of the Historic Records.During the reign of Yao and Shun,social productive forces developed rapidly.A large number of crops were found in archaeological sites,and a large number of agricultural tools appeared.At the same time,a new way of election--abdication system appeared.The emergence of abdication system also allowed the tribal leaders to centralize power and the structure of state power began to emerge.According to the literature records of the pre-Qin Dynasty,the flood was rampant in the period of Yao and Shun.As tribal leaders,Yao and Shun actively responded to the threat brought by the flood.Because the flood affected a wide range,the water control did not take effective way to control,resulting in the flood lasted for a long time,at this time the society urgently need rescuers to save them from the flood.In the West,the Old Testament Book of Genesis mentioned the story of the destruction of the world by the flood.The outbreak of the flood was the punishment of God,and when the flood came,God could choose believers to rebuild the new world.From this,we can see that the Western ancestors showed the concept of God dominating the world at the beginning of the establishment of their country.When Yao relinquished the position of tribal leader to Shun,Shun arranged Yu to control the flood.Yu gained the trust of the people through his benevolent action and bravery,and became a qualified candidate for the abdication and became the next tribal leader when the flood control was successful.Yu,on the other hand,gradually mastered the leading power of various tribes in the process of controlling the flood,and divided the Jiuzhou region by controlling the flood,thus forming the early state power.At the same time,he effectively managed the designated region of Jiuzhou,and established the subordinate relationship between the central government and Jiuzhou,thus establishing the early Xia Dynasty.The establishment of the Xia Dynasty was firstly reflected in the replacement of the supreme leader of the state.After the death of Yu,his son Qi obtained the support of local leaders to succeed Yu,thus establishing the hereditary system of the family under the state.Secondly,it delimited the general territory of the Xia Dynasty and established its ruling power.At the same time,it formed a state power with the kingship as the core,established the supremacy of the power of the King of Xia,and had a certain scale and mature bureaucratic system,as well as a large army to protect national security and suppress local rebellions.Finally,perfect public activities,the formation of a systematic tribute collection system,the formulation of the criminal law and the establishment of the prison to lock up offenders.Thus,the primitive society really entered the civilized society and built the early state.
