1. This thesis mainly analyzes the Qin-Han period to the Chinese history of the rulers of the ideological, institutional changes, as well as the cultural, military, and economic changes brought about by the pre-imperial. This paper mainly expounds the changes and differences between the Xia and Shang Dynasties and the Han Dynasty (the specific age), the change of the kingcraft (王道) and the king arts (王术), as well as the change and difference of the hereditary custom and legal system.

2. Kingcraft and King Arts are very essential for emperors of different dynasties. The two sorts of King thoughts and Strategies almost determined each dynasty’s fate in Chinese history.

3. The paper simply summarizes the paper in the abstract section. Then the introduction section gives the clear definition of the key words of the paper.

The conclusion section restates the core idea of the paper.

4. The argument my paper makes is to prove my theory and definitions is helpful to recognize the historical process and explain more clearly why some historical events happened.
