As a Chinese people, sometime we may be drawn to some foreign language,today I would like to talk about the word "feudal".
First, it's neccessary to make some explanation of it.
Fedual is of or according to the system as during the Middle Ages in Europe, under which people receive the protection and food from the landowner and fight and work for him in return. For example, fedual law, fedual barons;
The way some landowners treat their tenants today seems fedual.
Secondly, it differ from the word "feud", used as a noun or verb. As a noun, it means the long and bitter quarrel between two people, families and groups, etc. As a verb, it means to carry on a feud. For example, Because of a family feud, he never speak to his wife's parents for years.
