First published on: 2021-08-05, see: Read Han Fei Zi Wu Beetle and Recovery

In the ancient world, there were few people and many animals, and the people were invincible to animals, insects and snakes. 有圣人作，构木为巢以避群害，而民悦之，使王天下，号曰有巢氏。 People eat fruit clams, fishy and foul smell and hurt the stomach, people have many diseases. There are saints who do, drill and burn fire to make fishy, and the people say it, so that the king of the world, the trumpet of the flint. In the Middle Ages, there was a great water under the heavens, and The Carp and Yu decided to blaspheme. 近古之世，桀、纣暴乱，而汤、武征伐。 今有构木钻燧于夏后氏之世者，必为鲧、禹笑矣；有决渎于殷、周之世者，必为汤、武笑矣。 However, those who have the ways of Mei Yao, Shun, Tang, Wu, and Yu in today's world will be the new saints. It is the saint who does not expect to cultivate the ancients, the lawlessness is always possible, and the things of the world are discussed, because they are prepared. Song has some cultivators, there are plants in the field, rabbits walk to touch the plants, fold their necks and die, because of the release of their strains and keep the plant, hope to recover the rabbit, the rabbit can not be recovered, and as Song Guoxiao. Now I want to rule the people of the world with the government of the previous kings, and they all keep the strain.

In the eyes of Han Feizi and other pre-Qin people, Yao Shunyu is the Middle Ages, the Shang Zhou is the ancient, and the myths and legends are ancient.

Roughly speaking: ancient without history, 3000 years in the Middle Ages, and 1500 years in the Near Ancient Age

If we divide it according to the current linguistics, he said that these three parts are all ancient.

It can be seen that linguistics is naïve and division is naïve.

Off-topic, these words should also be changed by later generations, according to the Zhou yin, should be restored like this:

In the ancient world, there were few people and many animals, and the people did not resist animals, animals, insects and snakes. 有圣人作，构木为巢以避群害，而民悦之，使王天下，号曰有巢。 The people eat fruit clams, fishy and foul smell and hurt the stomach, and the people are sick. There are saints who do it, drill the flint to make fire to make it fishy, and the people say it, so that the king of the world, the trumpet of the flint wood. In the Middle Ages, the sky was raining heavily, and The fish and Yu decided to desecrate. 近古之世，桀、纣暴虐，而汤、武征伐。 今有构木钻燧于夏后氏之世者，必为鲧、禹笑矣；有决渎于殷、周之世者，必为汤、武笑矣。 However, those who have the ways of Mei Yao, Shun, Tang, Wu, and Yu in today's world will be the new saints. It is the Holy Lord who does not expect to cultivate the ancients, who is not always law-abiding, who discusses the world, because of the qi. Song has cultivators, there are plants in the field, rabbits walk to touch the plants, bend the neck and pawn, because of the release of their own and guard the plant, hope to recover the rabbit, the rabbit can not be recovered, and as Song Guoxiao. Now he wants to rule the people of the world with the art of the first king, and all the disciples who keep the tree are also.
