摘要：
中国在国家起源路径及国家形态上独树一帜，迥然不同于其他古代文明，在学术界已然是基本共识，但如何解释这种不同，却在理论上莫衷一是。虽然中国早期国家能为社会解决必要的难题，但在它发挥社会作用之前，却又必须积累起充分的政治伦理基础。早期国家只有在政治伦理基础积累达到一定程度时才会诞生，否则就不足以支持专门的公共权力从社会中分离出来，国家的存在必须要有一个神圣的政治伦理基础。中国早期国家在生产力不甚发达的情况下出现，积累起了具有特殊内容的政治伦理基础，该政治伦理基础也客观上决定了早期国家可能采取的形态及其基本运行规则。
Abstract:
China is unique in the origin and pattern of the state, which is completely different from other
ancient civilizations. It is already a basic consensus in academia, but there is little theoretical consensus on how
to explain the difference. Although the early state in China could solve the necessary problems for the society,
it had to accumulate sufficient political and ethical foundation before it could play a social role. The early state
was born only when the accumulation of political and ethical foundation reached a certain extent, otherwise it
would not be enough to support the separation of specialized public power from society. The existence of the
state must have a sacred political and ethical foundation. The early state in China emerged under the condition
of underdeveloped productivity, and accumulated a political and ethical foundation with special content. This
political and ethical foundation also objectively determined the possible patterns and basic operating rules of the early state.
