Mencius's words reflect the characteristics of the dictatorship of the clan aristocracy in the early state stage, which is called "God changes the son, and the nobles change their positions".

At that time, people regarded the change of throne and power as a matter between royal families with the same surname (royal relatives) and noble relatives (relatives of the opposite sex), and outsiders were not allowed to interfere. This is also the tradition of many dynastic successions in history, such as the Shang --- relatives of King Wu of Zhou, from the perspective of matrilineal, the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty were also the ancestors of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou, so they were eligible to obtain the throne, and Emperor Wen of Sui --- relatives of the Northern Zhou.

From this tradition, it can be seen that the powerful ministers in history married their daughters to the emperor, in fact, they were preparing for the change of dynasty, because as a powerful minister of the opposite sex, only by becoming a relative can he be qualified to become a new son of heaven.

During the Jichang period, it was already in the embryonic period of the feudal system, and the implementation of Yumin politics was to collect taxes in moderation, so that the peasants could have savings to stimulate their interest in labor.

Ji Chang adopted the policy of "91 and help", that is, dividing the fields, allowing farmers to help cultivate the public land and pay one-ninth of the tax. As long as the peasants collectively help cultivate the middle public land when cultivating the eight private fields, and use the harvest of this public field to hand over to the government, the harvest of the other eight fields is completely owned by themselves.

During the Emperor Xin period, the large-scale construction of Wuding City began, and it was expanded and expanded, because there was a mountain name Chaoge in the west of the city, and the name of the capital was changed to Chaoge (zhāogē), which means to sing the dawn of the song, welcome the rising sun, thriving, and prosperous.

However, the war did not affect the walls of the castle of Chaoge, and the walls of the castle remained as majestic as before. After the end of the war, King Wu of Zhou made Wu Geng, the son of the Emperor of Zhou, a prince, a prince of the Emperor of Zhou, to continue the worship of Yin, and Wu Geng lived in the palace of his father. After Wu Geng rebelled against Zhou, the Zhou soldiers captured Chaoge, Wu Geng died, the palace was burned, the people were taken captive, and the recalcitrant people were moved, and Chaoge became a ruin from then on. The hometown of Chaoge became the capital of the country in the Spring and Autumn Period.
