These measures are aimed at strengthening centralization of authority. The basic contents of democracy in Athens are the citizens' assembly, the 500-member parliament and the people's court.
3. Different continuity:
The centralization of the Qin Dynasty was used in feudal society for more than 2,000 years, which kept the ancient civilization of China continuous for a long time, and China became one of the cradles of ancient civilization in the world.
Democracy in Athens declined in the Middle Ages. With the demise of the Western Roman Empire, ancient Greek civilization declined, and Europe entered a dark age.
The Qin dynasty's three fair and nine fair:
The "three officials and nine ministers" are centralized by the monarch, but they have certain administrative autonomy, while the "three provinces and six ministries" system is administrative decentralization. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the three public offices owned specific posts, which can be regarded as institutions. At that time, Sangong was the Prime Minister, Qiu and an imperial envoy. Jiuqing is in charge of different affairs, such as Shi Zhongchang, Doctor, Wei Wei, Tai Fu, Ting Wei, Dian Ke, etc., and governs the civil history and Shaofu under Ji. In order to strengthen centralization, the power of the prime minister in Sui Dynasty could not be divided into three provinces, namely Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, Menxia Province and Zhongshu and Menxia Province. In charge of six different affairs, the minister is also the prime minister, so the power that once belonged to the prime minister was divided into eight parts, which greatly strengthened the central power. This is the three provinces and six departments system.
