“The Feudalized Empire” was a great cultural ideal creatively contributed and established by the Zhou people after their victory in the war against the Shang Dynasty. This ideal was actualized and gained its first existing form under the patriarchal system of the Zhou Dynasty. With the decline and downfall of feudal patriarchal system, the idea of “the Feudalized Expire” went through deformation and transition in the historical movements of the Warring Kingdoms ages before it was realized and gained its second typical existing form under the imperial centralistic system of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, it is the objective of this study to explore the transitional place of the philosophy of the Han Dynasty in Chinese history of philosophy from such a historical vision to reveal the patternized significance of the Han Dynasty to Chinese culture in approximately 2000 years that followed.
