History does not repeat itself，but it does often rhyme。
Mark Twain's quote, translated as:
History doesn't repeat itself, but it's always strikingly similar.
The book in front of me, "Han Fei Li Si: Rivals from the Same Door", is a new publication of CITIC Publishing House, called the first series of "Comic Language Panda Literature Class", the small book is not large, it is the child's favorite picture book.
The courier was delivered at the door of the house that day, and I said that as a gift to the child, the daughter of the 6th grade of elementary school took it like a bird and flew back to her room to look.
In fact, I thought to myself, in the past, most of the picture books that children read were Japanese and Chinese novels, and the school teachers forbade school tape, which was similar to when we were young and secretly read extracurricular books in class.
Picture books in China, especially lack of storytelling and education, as a super love of words and writing for 30 years, I can neither guide children nor let her see them.
For picture books from Japan, people's standards and education levels are indeed easy to throw us a few streets, no way, we are far behind in this regard.
Now, seeing this series, by restoring the "History of History", using the size of a villain book, the form of picture books that children like to read, let me see hope.
One hope is that CITIC Publishing is trustworthy, and the quality of the books produced is superior, the topic selection is exquisite, and it will certainly stand the test of time and practice.
Sure enough, the little guy will see 4 books soaking their feet at night and relish it.
One hope is that, like a story, it is easy to understand, incarnate into a panda, summarize and refine the big language in the form of a literary class, it is impossible to complete without a certain amount of time and skill, and this form is worth promoting.
Children hold it in their hands and read it, without the burden of holding a large book, it is easy and interesting to read, and it is easy to remember.
There is also a hope that for our ancient Chinese culture, we must cultivate from an early age, starting from dolls, and constantly strengthen their hearts and wills through various forms and methods, so as to internalize their own cultivation and ability.
For example, how the rule of law in the new era draws on the spirit of the ancient lawyers.
In the book, "When it comes to the glory of the past five thousand years, we must not forget the existence of the Legalists, who have carried out reforms and reforms, laid the foundation for the country to be tough, and become heroes who have left their names in the chaotic world."
Han Fei handed down the works of eternity, which are the same as the men lisi.
Han Fei is a representative figure of the Legalist, an IQ bearer, a book-writer, and people give the title of "but you can write and convince you", the works have sold well for two thousand years, and have gained countless imperial fans.
One theorist.
Li Si is the minister of the Qin State, the ancient version of the "Terminator", the action faction, the procrastination nemesis, and the small goal set is to unify the Qin State. The means are decisive and the tricks are clever, and they can be called "political masters".
A doer.
The "Records of History" records that both Han Fei and Li Si have biographies, which shows that his fame was admired by Sima Qian.
The two people came from different backgrounds, Han Fei was born into an aristocratic background, and Li Si was from a general background. But at the same time, they worshiped the Confucian Da Na Xunzi as their teacher.
Xun Zi's "Persuasion" has been studied by everyone, and many can be memorized.
There is also his little-known thought, Xunzi advocates "sexual evil theory", "heaven and man theory" and "hierarchical rule", which can be said to be far ahead of the contemporary Western philosophical thought.
The two students worked particularly hard, but Li Si felt that his knowledge was not as good as Han Fei's.
Li Si felt inferior, so he first left his student career and went to the Qin Kingdom to develop, and as a result, he was good at the workplace, mixed very well, and took the opportunity of the Qin King's door-to-door guests to write the "Book of Expulsion", which was able to protect himself and be reused by the King of Qin.
Here Han Fei, because of his stuttering, mixed badly, wrote dozens of top-level strategies in one breath. Even the King of Qin read the books he wrote, "Lonely Anger" and "Five Beetles", and he was impressed and wanted to befriend him, and he did not regret that he died.
Although Li Si was not convinced, he had to report to the King of Qin that Han Fei was his classmate.
Later, the State of Qin attacked Korea, and the King of Han sent Han Fei to send an envoy to the State of Qin, and Han Fei advised the King of Qin not to attack Korea, because each of them was its master, and Li Si saw that Han Fei had to destroy his political ambitions, so he secretly said bad things about Han Fei, and as a result, Han Fei was arrested by the King of Qin, but he could not make up his mind not to kill, and finally Han Fei was unjustly killed in prison.
It is really "originally born from the same root, and it is too urgent to fry each other"!
The two brothers killed each other just like Cao Pi in the later Three Kingdoms era.
Although Li Si later used legal ideas to help the King of Qin unify the world, he was framed by the later Zhao Gao, beheaded at the waist, and died a tragic death.
The concept of "external Confucianism and internal law" in later generations has continued for several dynasties and has been used for thousands of years, until now, eastern and western countries and societies are learning from and using it.
Before the same era, there were two division brothers, Sun Zhi and Pang Juan, and at the same time worshiped Ghost Guzi as a division and worshiped as brothers, Pang Juan was jealous of Sun Zhi's talents, designed to frame Sun Zhi, kill him disabled, Sun Bing was taller, designed to flee, and finally killed Pang Juan in the battle between the two armies of each as their master.
All in all, Han Fei is a theoretician, a Confucian student of law, who cannot fight the practical and shrewd Li Si, but Lao Tzu said that "the sky net is restored, and the neglect is not lost", and many acts of injustice will kill themselves!
Therefore, but do good deeds, do not ask about the future.
Being born as a human being is only right to be grateful.
By the way, Han Fei's hometown is Hantang Village in Xiping County, Zhumadian, Henan; Li Si's tomb is more than sixty kilometers southeast of Hantang Village.
There are also "Waiting for rabbits" and "Contradictions" are Han Fei's works, are you particularly familiar with it?
