What's the meaning of Han Gongzi's fortune _ Han Gongzi
This has a lot to do with Han Fei's birth and situation. At that time, South Korea was the weakest among the seven countries, and basically lived in the cracks. It was very difficult and risky to implement Confucianism to govern the country at that time.
As the son of Korea, Han Fei wants to spend all his studies in Korea. At first, he studied Confucianism from Xunzi, but he found that it was impossible to promote Confucian culture in the current situation in South Korea, because South Korea did not have this capital, so he could only choose the most useful legalist thought, because only legalist thought could give South Korea a chance at that time.
Of course, Confucianism, which he studied for many years, is not without its merits. Han Fei not only abides by the legalist thought, but also has the simple materialism of Confucianism and the dialectical thought of Taoism. Later, he adopted a lot of Mohism's aggressive thoughts, so Han Fei was a master of Legalism, and at the same time, he also combined the four schools of thought into one. Otherwise, Qin Shihuang wouldn't be impressed by him just after reading his works, and he would try his best.
In fact, Han Fei is particularly like Shang Yang. Shang Yang was not from A Qin at first, nor was he the successor of Legalism. But in the end, his reform made great achievements in Qin State. At that time, Qin Shihuang also saw this and wanted Han Fei to be his own Shang Yang. Han Fei's knowledge is not even as good as Reese's. Reese wouldn't have designed and killed him if he wasn't jealous of his talent and afraid that Han Fei would threaten his position one day.
Han Fei did not abandon Confucianism, just because the situation at that time needed legalists, and he shouldered the heavy responsibility of rejuvenating South Korea. He dare not take risks, so he can only choose the most suitable one. This is why he died in the state of Qin. His heart is connected with South Korea, so when Qin Shihuang planned to capture six countries, he opposed capturing South Korea, but captured other countries to make friends with South Korea.
It is understandable that Qin Shihuang heard his opinions, but his heart has always been in South Korea. To complete the great cause of reunification, South Korea will be destroyed. When Qin went to war with South Korea, Han Fei was definitely against Qin Wei. Qin Shihuang was afraid of Han Fei's ability and had to kill him reluctantly.
