“iatianxia” and “Tianxiayijia”:Spirits of Politics and Religion in Three Dynasties——Focusing on Wang Guowei's On the Constitution of Three Dynasties

The age of demise is selecting an able person to rule the country while the Dynasties of Xia,Shang and Zhou adopt Jiatianxia which means taking all people in this world as members of one family.Keeping rituals in Confucianism and ruling the country with virtues have inner intensity,but they are organically connected,forming the two dimensions of Zhougong's political doctrines.Without considering Jiatianxia,the historic limitations of Zhougong's making rituals and music cannot be seen,so the discussion of rituals and music is too idealistic.Without Tianxiayijia,the ideal of the three dynasties can not be discovered,much less the significance of his typical example and his universality beyond his time.The kernel of Zhougong's making rituals and music is returning to Tianxiayijia with conditions and the force of Jiatianxia.
