One of the most important things in the transition between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period is probably that "the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han were divided into Jin", and modern people also regard this event as a watershed between the "Spring and Autumn" and "Warring States" periods.
After the three families were divided into Jin, the State of Wei took the lead in carrying out the movement of changing the law in many princely states, which made the State of Wei successfully inherit the mantle of the Spring and Autumn Overlord of the State of Jin, and the State of Wei became the strongest king in the new period of the Warring States. This period lasted until the middle of the Warring States period, when the situation of Wei's hegemony was changed.
From the middle of the Warring States period to the end of the Warring States period, the world was basically the top seat of the Qin State, in fact, this also had a relationship with the Wei State. After all, Shang Martin had served in the State of Wei, but it had not been reused, and later Shang Martin's change of law movement in the Qin State actually drew on Wu Qi's change of law movement in the State of Wei at that time.
The change of the State of Wei made the State of Wei strong, so for a while the countries fell into the climax of the law change movement, the most typical of which was the "Shang Martingale Transformation Law", of which there was also the Li Wu Transformation Law and the Shen Bu Harm Transformation Law during this period. On the other hand, the Shang martingale transformation method may be similar to the latter two, after all, the death of Qin II is there.
There is a policy that is very unfavorable to social development in the martingale transformation law, that is, "heavy agriculture and suppress business", the status and rights of businessmen cannot be guaranteed, then the social and economic form will move towards the most primitive, then human beings can only stay in the most primitive state.
From this point of view, when everyone is advocating the "Shang Martingale Transformation Law," in fact, I do not think that the Shang Martingale Transformation Law is beneficial; on the contrary, the reform of the two major powers of the Qi state and the Jin state in the Spring and Autumn Period has some characteristics, the most significant of which is "simultaneous promotion of industry and commerce." From the Spring and Autumn Warring States to the Warring States, the Guan Zhong reform, the Li Wu transformation method, or the Shen Bu harm change law, they all attached great importance to the development of commerce and handicrafts and agriculture. If the State of Qi or the State of Jin had unified China at that time, it is possible that China's future would have been a different story.
Let's introduce the "Shen Non-Harmful Transformation Law":
Shen Bujian is a representative figure of the Fa, and the most abundant in his variations is "magic rule".
First, the so-called magic rule is actually to strengthen the centralized system of the monarch and strengthen the supervision of the hundred officials of the imperial court;
Second, to a certain extent, to crack down on the Korean nobility, confiscate their assets and return them to the national treasury, and reorganize the army, collecting the private soldiers of the nobles to enrich the army;
Third, encourage the people to cultivate grain in the wilderness and increase the total grain output value of South Korea;
Fourth, attach importance to and encourage the development of Korean handicrafts, especially the production of military equipment, which also makes the military weapons produced by South Korea rank among the best in the Warring States, so that the countries do not despise South Korea in the land of projectiles.
The reason why South Korea cannot develop is actually the first point that it is subject to the living space and development space of South Korea, and South Korea is unable to expand its own land to nourish itself, but it has become strong.
Second, Shen's character is not as pure and fair as shang martingale's. For example, Shang Martin dared to convict the prince of Qin who obstructed the movement to change the law and the brother of Qin Xiaogong who were in the qin state of Qin when they changed the law. This is obviously impossible to put on Shen Buxi's body.
For example, when Han Zhaohou asked Shen Buhao if he wanted to rescue Zhao Guo, Shen Buxian first thought of the problem, but worried about whether his words would not be called Han Zhaohou's intentions.
Shin Bu-san's practical phrase in Korea's "juji" in the Korean law-changing movement is extremely appropriate to describe "Lang has feelings, concubines have intentions".
South Korea is a small and poor country, which is still a land of four wars, sandwiched between several large and powerful countries. What South Korea needs most is probably a quick way to become stronger, a hardware that stimulates the country's short-term strength. Generally speaking, the fundamental reason for South Korea's weakness lies in the aspect of "unfavorable land", and looking at its surroundings, where is the room for development!
South Korea's fate is likely to be summed up as a "congenital deficiency" that did not prevail when the three families were divided. But in other words, didn't the ultimate fate of Zheng Guo, who was very powerful in the Spring and Autumn Period at that time, still become part of a powerful country?
