Han Feizi was born in 280 BC, and Xunzi was 51 years old. He was a student of Xunzi. Han Feizi was the son of King Han, but he was not favored by King Han. Later he went to Qin as an envoy and was imprisoned by King Yingzheng of Qin and died in prison. Han Feizi loved Korea and had the ambition to save Korea, but he had no place to display his talents. If you understand Han Feizi's thoughts and ideas, you will not be surprised that although Han Feizi is a prince, he cannot express his ambitions. Sima Qian wrote in the "Biographies of Laozi and Han Fei" in "Historical Records": "Shenzi's learning is based on Huang Lao and he is responsible for the name of punishment." It belongs to Huang Lao." Shenzi, also known as Shen Buhai, a representative figure of the famous people mentioned in the previous chapter, served as prime minister in South Korea for fifteen years. During this period, "the country was well governed and the army was strong, and there were no invaders of South Korea."
The study of criminal names, that is, the study of celebrities, also specifically refers to the study of names and facts in politics. Sima Qian believes that there is a certain truth in the theory of criminal names originating from Huang Lao. The way we understand all things in nature is to distinguish the similarities and differences of different things, and the same is true for our understanding of politics. Confucius long ago put forward the theory of "rectification of names", which is a theory of punishment names.
