It is not an exaggeration to assert that Han Feizi's "magic potential" influenced the 20th century and even spread to foreign countries. Stalin got the samadhi of Han Feizi. Inspired by his works, he wrote down the experience that "it is better to be feared than to be loved". It stands to reason that Han Feizi should be ahead of Confucius and enjoy a pension from generation to generation. That was not the case. In addition to the unprecedented courtesy received in the 1970s, Han Feizi has been sitting on the bench. Qin Shihuang's skill was not to reward him, but to order Li Si to poison him. Reese flattered the emperor, and together with Han Fei, he formed contemporary body double, and finally got the same fate as Han Feizi. However, there are still differences between Han Feizi and Li Si. Han Feizi's flattery strategy is applicable to almost all emperors, and Reese's strategy is mostly devoted to netting one person. Sima Qian sent out the feeling that "I am alone, saddened by Hanzi, but I can't get rid of it", probably because Hanfeizi is at the beginning of the killing chain, poor and unknown.
Han Feizi's death warned the literati that flattery requires skill, and people who do not engage in politics can't do it. Flattery is forbidden. It is ok to argue that "the thief has a way", but the details of the thief's "way" must not be made public.
Just like the emperor told you to kill, do you want to kill or ask "why?" Sorry, you have to be silenced, too. The most generous thing for an autocratic emperor is human life. Under the deterrent of the butcher's knife, the scholar-officials gradually lost the function of asking "why", and naturally there were few thinkers. On the other hand, Nuo Nuo's sycophants are full of food, such as Sima Shi, Liu Xin to follwed, Krabi to Zhu Dynasty, and money to Qing court. ...
If everything was done by Han Feizi for the king, what Dong Zhongshu provided was "minds". He put forward to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty the "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man" that "all those who are not Confucius' skills should learn their ways and cannot go hand in hand", which permeated the divine right, the monarchical right, the patriarchal power and the husband's right, and formed a unique theological system in China. "Harmony between Heaven and Man" became the bond between the emperor and "Heaven". "The greatness of the Tao is born from the sky, the sky remains the same, and the Tao remains the same." After the relationship between heaven and man is determined, human nature is divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower. At the beginning, hundreds of schools were deposed and Confucianism was the only one. Since then, orthodoxy has become a monster. Fake scholarships replaced scholarships. The activity space of the scholar-officials suddenly became cramped. It is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the road. Over time, no one dared to shake the Taoist system. It serves to show that the scholar-officials influenced history, except Han Feizi, Dong Zhongshu was the only one. He gagged everyone by himself, and it was two years ago.
