In ancient China, there were not a few reform movements, such as the Xining Reform Law, Zhang Juzheng's New Deal, the Penghu Reform Law, and so on, and most of the historical changes ended in failure. The Shang Martingale Transformation Law is one of the few relatively successful movements to change the law, and the Qin State has taken the lead in embarking on the road of monarchical centralization through the Shang Martingale Transformation Law, the efficiency of the New Deal has been greatly improved, the people's production enthusiasm has been greatly enhanced, and the national strength of the Qin State has been significantly improved. After Shang Martin's death, the Qin royal family continued Shang Martin's policy of changing the law, so that the Qin State was strong and prosperous for hundreds of years, which was extremely valuable. It can be said that the Shang martingale transformation method has laid the foundation for the Qin state to unify the world, and without the Shang martingale transformation method, it is really difficult to say whether the surname will win in the end of the world.
Although the Shang martingale transformation method was successful, the historical evaluation of Shang Martingale was not all positive, and the most influential was Sima Qian's evaluation of Shang Martingale, and Taishi used four words to evaluate Shang Martingale as "mean and unkind". Many celebrities in history agreed with this, and even some people believe that the Shang Martingale Transformation Law allowed the Qin State to sweep through the Six Kingdoms, and the Shang Martingale Transformation Law also made the Qin Dynasty go to ruin, and the harsh punishment law of the Qin Dynasty was an important reason for the peasant uprising at the end of qin, and Liu Bang was not forced to go to Liangshan precisely because he escorted him to the late servitude, and it was also death to go to the rebellion, and the rebellion was also dead, which forced him to liangshan, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang also rebelled because of this. At first glance, Shang Martin's law added bricks and tiles to the burial of the Qin Dynasty.
The law of Shang Martingale is indeed harsh, but Shang Martingale is not necessarily mean, and legal theory and human feelings cannot be confused. Shang Martin presided over the change of law is his job, in public he must be selfless, the laws formulated by Shang Martin apply to all levels of the Qin State, and Shang Martin himself is no exception, Shang Martin was persecuted by the nobles of the Qin State in the later period and exiled everywhere, Shang Martin was unable to stay overnight in the hotel because of the law he formulated, many people took this example to prove that Shang Martin's practice killed himself. However, this does not prove the human nature of the martingale. Everyone is equal in front of the law, Shang Martin built the Qin state into a society with a legal system, even if the laws he formulated were too harsh, they were also the helpless choice of that era, the so-called rule of chaos in the world with heavy codes, no severe punishment, how to come from the strength of the Qin state.
If a person who strictly enforces the law is regarded as mean and unkind, then the law enforcement personnel in modern society are not all harsh and unscrupulous officials. Let's talk about the relationship between the fall of Qin and the martingale, Shang martingale is only responsible for making the qin state stronger, and the collapse of the qin state hundreds of years later has a half-cent relationship with him. The Shang martingale transformation method is a product of the times, and the harsh punishment law of the Shang martingale applies to the chaotic world of the Qin Xiaogong Association, but it may not apply to the situation of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the world, since it is not applicable, then change it, but you can't expect Shang Martingale to change, after all, shang martingale grave head grass has been several inches high, Li Si, Wang Xie, these Qin Shi Huang people in front of the people do not know how to change, this is not to blame Shang Martingale.
Shangmartin is harsh for law enforcement, but its human nature is not necessarily so, just because Shangmartin strictly enforces the law, it is really unfair to say that people are mean and unkind. The Shang martingale transformation law is too harsh, but because of the times, the chaotic world uses heavy codes, and in order to survive in the Qin Kingdom, the punishment is harsh, which is not the fault of the Shang Martingale, but the fault of the times. The reason for the demise of the Qin state was because the punishment was too harsh, but this had nothing to do with shang martingale, but Qin Shi Huang and a cadre of ministers under the hall were conservative and did not know how to change, did not understand the social law of relying on the law in a chaotic world and relying on etiquette in a prosperous world, and the shang martingale change law could only let the Qin state fight the jiangshan, and the shangmartin could not manage the shangmartin. Therefore, it is pure nonsense to evaluate the harshness of the quotient martingale transformation method only by the harshness of the quotient martingale transformation method.
