The book "Государственный строй Китайской Народной Республики" (State System of the People's Republic of China) by Кондратьев Р. С. , Грачев Л. А. is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution of the Chinese state system from ancient times to the present day. The book provides a detailed analysis of how technology has played a crucial role in shaping the country's political, social, and economic landscape, and highlights the importance of developing a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge. The book begins by exploring the origins of the Chinese state system, tracing its roots back to the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE), when the concept of the "Mandate of Heaven" was first introduced. This idea posits that the emperor's authority is derived from heaven, and that he is responsible for maintaining order and stability in the empire. The author then delves into the Qin and Han dynasties (2211-220 BCE and 206 BCE-220 CE), where the focus shifted towards centralized power and bureaucracy. As the book progresses, it examines the impact of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism on Chinese thought and culture, and how these philosophical traditions have influenced the development of the state system. The author also discusses the role of technology in the modernization of China, from the introduction of gunpowder in the 9th century to the present day. One of the key themes of the book is the need to study and understand the process of technology evolution.
