“China,” the word first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty, “Book of Songs”, such as “Tagaytay • China labor” “benefit of this China.” But “The Book of Songs” in kind “China” is indeed “a country” and not really a country. Said that the country’s “China,” the word book in the Warring States thinkers have been commonplace. Such as “Mencius • Tengwen Gong’s” Cloud: “Chen origin, the Duke of Zhou Zhong Ni Yue’s Road, North Science in China” and “Bird tracks hoofed animals of the Road and Transport in China”; “Zhuang Zi • Zi Fang”: ” China’s gentleman, one understands propriety and justice and the ugly Mikitomo heart “… … All these show that: Ancient so-called” China “, referring to future generations,” the Central Plains. ” However, later the Central Plains region is less than wide, while the equivalent today of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, Henan, Hebei area.
“China” frequent use of the term, mainly in the weeks after. “Book of Rites • kingship” goes: “China’s Yi Rong, five parties of China, there are also … … of China, Man, Yi, Rong, Di, there are peace.” Obviously, at this time, “China” words, is pretty, Yi, Rong, Di right move and use. If “Book of Rites” in a book time than relying on later, then “Zuo Zhuan • Zhuang thirty-one years” has “Where there is Shii princes of power, then Xian Yu Wang, Wang to the police in the barbarians. China is no” The argument indicates the early Spring and Autumn Period, “China” has quite the term, Yi, Rong, Di right move. Then the “China” means to know who “Gongyangzhuan • Jubilee public four-year,” said: “Nan Yi and Beidi to pay, China is not never, if line. Duke Huan save China, and throw into confusion barbarians soldier Jing, as a matter for the king also. “Qi Huangong rescue XING Guo, Wei-guo and other countries, is called” save China “indicates the time of the” China “, has been expanded to be considered” Zhu Xia “country.
Here, we can not help but Koo Yee-yin, “ram” School “Spring and Autumn Love III said.” “Chuan • ram into the public fifteen years” are: “” Spring and Autumn “in the country suits the Zhu Xia, Zhu Xia suits the barbarians within. King For a peaceful world it easy for words within words than words from the past who only people. “He closed the Eastern Han Dynasty classics master further play ram school saying the” Spring and Autumn “as recorded in 242 years of history, idealized divided into three stages, namely:” The rumor of the World, “” heard the World “and” see the world. ” “The rumor of the world see the government starting in the decline into chaos in their country … … and therefore suits the Zhu Xia”, “heard of the world see rule Sheng-ping, which suits the barbarians Zhu Xia”, “to see the rule of the world Taiping, barbarians into of nobility, the world is big or small, if a distance. ” Although the 242-year history of the development is not so idealistic, but we must admit that this concept of development of relations between the law of the nation has made some correct understanding and vision. Xia, Shang period, China should be the nation’s formative years; and China set the system the culmination of cultural and spiritual culture of the “Zhou Li” the formation of the Chinese nation is the ultimate symbol of the formation. Concept of Xia, Shang, Zhou, the Spring and Autumn, the Bangguo keep on breaking up, and some into the China Group, and some into the Man, Yi, Rong Group, countries such as the worship country, once among the swing in the Yi Xia, and finally placed into the of the China Group, became the “Zhu Xia,” a part.
