Religious rites due to an emperor?s predecessors must both pay the correct services to his ancestors and demonstrate his right to succeed to the throne. In practical terms, tax collectors, merchants, farmers and townsmen required the establishment of a standard set of weights and measures that was universally operative and which they could trust. Those who saw reason to criticise the decisions taken by the emperor and his immediate advisors, whether on grounds of moral principles or political expediency, needed opportunities and the means of expressing their views, whether as remonstrants to the throne, by withdrawal from public life or as authors of private writings. 410 0$aChina studies (Leiden, Netherlands) ;$vVolume 33. 606 $aImperialism$xSocial aspects$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aGenealogy$xPolitical aspects$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aRites and ceremonies$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWeights and measures$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aProtest movements$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCritics$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aChina$xHistory$yHan dynasty, 202 B.C.-220 A.D 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y221 B.C.-220 A.D 607 $aChina$xSocial life and customs$y221 B.C.-960 A.D 607 $aChina$xKings and rulers$xFamily relationships$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImperialism$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aGenealogy$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aRites and ceremonies$xHistory 615 0$aWeights and measures$xHistory 615 0$aProtest movements$xHistory 615 0$aCritics$xHistory 676 $a931.04 700 $aLoewe$b Michael$0635017 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511735503321 996 $aProblems of Han administration$92552720 997 $aUNINA
