A Study Of The Research Of Chinese Bureaucracy In The Perspective Of Philosophy And Political Systems Analysis

Wang Ya-nan's The Research of Chinese Bureaucracy is a wonderful book. Marxist philosophy is a good angle of view to research this book. David Easton's systems analysis of politics is a scientific method with an extensive applicability. How can we do a research using all of them? It seems that there is nobody does that. This text will do a brave try.The first part is an introduction; in this part, introduces Wang Ya-nan's The Research of Chinese Bureaucracy and Easton's systems analysis of politics in order to service the text.The second part is divided into three chapters. In chapter one, demonstrates Confucianism was an important cultural mechanism which could transform and regulate wishes. Confucianism had a function that could make a society uniform. Confucianism could train people's diffuse support. Confucianism could adapt the development of Chinese bureaucracy. Confucianism redounded to the maintenance of Chinese bureaucracy. The function of Confucianism can inspire the modern political system to strengthen the constructing of culture and to enhance the education of ideologies. In chapter two, demonstrates twi-revenue system and imperial examinations system were valid outputs. They adapted and supported the development of Chinese bureaucracy. Twi-revenue system could increase specific support. Imperial examinations system could increase diffuse support and specific support, it could enhance the internal resources of authorities, and it was advantageous to social integration and the socialization of politics. The execution of twi-revenue system can give political system an elicitation on reform of taxation and the allotment of society. The execution of imperial examinations system can inspire the political system on the education reform and the examination of civil servant. In chapter three, analyzes the synthetical reasons why Chinese bureaucracy couldn't persist. Chinese bureaucracy couldn't contact the environment widely. The requests and supports that served as the inputs of system were lacking. The system couldn't exert the function of output and feedback. All of these restricted the natural operating of the system. This kind of analysis can give modern political system some enlightenment about how to have a positive operating. The political system should think much of the communicating with the environment, should encourage the members to take part in the political life. The third part is chapter four. The author surveys the historical change of Chinese bureaucracy, and expounds the reasons of the change. The movements of the basic social contradiction made Chinese bureaucracy come into being. It made Chinese bureaucracy develop and consume.

The author discusses the bureaucracy will consequentially destroy in the view of the materialistic dialectics and the historical materialism.The fourth part is chapter five. The author points out the actuality that bureaucratism and the official-standardized is widespread, and analyzes their banes from an angle of validity, output and feedback. The author analyzes the social and historical root of bureaucratism and the official-standardized, such as the tradition of totalitarianism and privilege.
