Retainer means the official in Qing Dafu's family in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period. Their responsibility is dealing with all sorts of affairs in the fiefs and the clans. As a special group, which attaches to the ruling class, they began to play an important role just from the day they generated in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. With the decline of the political power, the retainer group which lives in the days after the late Western Zhou Dynasty gradually acquired a larger development. And they started to play an important role in each countries political arena. In the late Spring and Autumn period, the rebellion of the retainers broke out in the Lu State one by one that made the retainer group become more attention-getting.Retainer rebellion focus mainly on the Lu State, a country that is well-known for their ceremony. And what's more, nearly all of the Retainer rebellions have occurred in the late Spring and Autumn Period, espically in the time of the King Zhao,the King Ding and the King Ai. why that? Firstly, the conflicts between the Qing Dafu and the King in the Lu State were very drastic from the middle of the Spring and Autumn period. Secondly, the developing of the Socio-economic and the Weakening of the patriarchal clan relationship were activators of the rebellions. Thirdly, the defects of the Enfeoffment system and the laggard local administration System in the Lu State are the root cause of the high frequency retainer rebellions. Lastly, the influence of the old Patriarchal-based retainer group in the Lu State is too powerful, and this is another reason for the retainer rebellions. Those reasons have led to repeated retainer rebellions in the Lu State.Actually, retainer rebellion is reflection of the damage for the patriarchal clan system and the enfeoffment in the Zhou Dynasty. It not only incarnated the Dwindling of the patriarchal clan relationship, but also revealed the collapse of the Patriarchal political order. At the same time, the high frequency retainer rebellions took heavily blow to the ThreeHuan, and the Lu State decreased its power. However, retainer rebellion has its Advantages. For example, the occurrence of rebellion made the Qing Dafus aware the defects of the Patriarchal-based retainer and compelled them to reform the old Retainer system. In this process, a flock of Gentleman such as Confucius and his pupils began to emerge and they had left many brilliant achievements and ever-lasting sayings. All of this had positive impacts on the rising of the "Scholars" and the bureaucratic system reform in the Warring States period.
