Brief introduction of Han Fei

Han Fei (about 280-233 BC), a native of Huaxia nationality and Xinzheng (now xinzheng city, Henan Province), was an outstanding thinker, philosopher and essayist at the end of the Warring States Period. Han Fei is one of the two people who got the essence of Laozi's thought. Han Fei is a master of legalism, combining Shang Yang's "Fa", Shen Buhai's "Shu" and Shen Dao's "Teacher". Han Fei combines Laozi's dialectics, simple materialism and law. Han Fei is the son of Hanwang, a student of Xunzi and a classmate of Reese. He is the author of Everything is Wrong, with 55 articles,100000 words. It is unique in the prose of pre-Qin philosophers, which shows that Han Fei attaches great importance to materialism and utilitarianism and actively advocates the theory of autocratic monarchy in order to provide rich and powerful soldiers for autocratic monarchs. Han Fei deeply loves his motherland, South Korea, but his political views are not taken seriously by the king of South Korea, and Ying Zheng, king of Qin, sent troops to attack South Korea in order to get Han Fei. Li Si was jealous of Han Fei's talent and killed Han Fei in the State of Qin. However, Han Fei's legalist thought was reused by Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, to help the state of Qin enrich Qiang Bing and finally unify the six countries. Han Fei's thought is profound and advanced, which has a far-reaching influence on later generations. He is Mao Zedong's most admired ancient thinker in China. Mao Zedong once said: "The successful politicians in ancient China were basically legalists." According to Records of the Historian, the king of Qin saw the book of loneliness and anger and said, "Well, I have to see this man traveling with him, and I won't hate him even if I die! "It can be seen that the importance of the king of Qin at that time. Han Feizi is also one of the important reference sources for the lack of historical materials in China's pre-Qin period, and many contemporary folklore and fables in the works have also become the sources of idioms and allusions.
