Did Han Feizi die unjustly?

Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and ushered in the era of great unification in the history of the mainland, established a feudal system of monarchical centralization (in fact, this feudalism is not the same as the feudalism of Western scholarship), and made the political system of the mainland greatly ahead of the world. Among them, the idea of the Fa family played an important role, and the two important representative figures of the Fa family were Li Si and Han Feizi, and these two were brothers of the master, both of whom were disciples of the Great Confucian Xunzi. Li Si went to the Qin state to promote officials and make a fortune, and Han Feizi was a noble prince of Korea.

Did Han Feizi die unjustly?

Seeing that the Qin state was strong, Korea wanted to cede the land and become a vassal of the Qin state, so it sent Han Feizi as an emissary to the Qin state. Qin Shi Huang read Han Feizi's article and admired him very much. It just so happened that Han Feizi was not welcomed in Korea and wanted to show his ambitions, so he wrote to Qin Shi Huang about how to destroy the Six Kingdoms, crack the method of the six kingdoms alliance, and vowed that if he could not succeed, he could kill himself. Qin Shi Huang was very happy to hear this, but it was impossible to reuse Han Feizi immediately, after all, the policy he stated was not a child's play. However, after Li Si knew about this matter, he was very worried about his position, so he went to Qin Shi Huang to say bad things about Han Feizi and advised Qin Shi Huang that if he could not reuse Han Feizi, then he should kill him. Before Qin Shi Huang could do anything, Li Si had already arranged Han Feizi clearly. Han Feizi wanted to state his grievances, but he could not see Qin Shi Huang and had to die with his grievances.

Han Feizi's talent was stronger than Li Si's, but he died unjustly, which made many people sigh. But what does Sima Guang think about this? Sima Guang said: "I have heard that a gentleman has gone from being close to his own relatives to being close to others' relatives, from loving his own country to loving other people's country, so that he can have outstanding merit and reputation, and thus enjoy a hundred blessings." Now that Han Fei was devoting advice to the Qin state, he first wanted to prove his claim by destroying his motherland, and committing such a crime would have been a matter of death and guilt, and where was it worth pitying! ”

Did Han Feizi die unjustly?

The ancients said that "chaos begins and eventually abandons", Han Feizi is not valued in Korea, hoping to exert his ambitions in the Qin state, and if his revenge is carried out, he will destroy his motherland. Such a person does not even love his own motherland, so how can he love the Qin Kingdom? If a person does not even respect his own parents, how can he truly respect others? This is the Confucian idea of self-control and others. Han Feizi's talent is a pity, but his behavior is very sad. In modern times, this is a typical traitorous behavior, why can the Japanese prisoners caught in the War of Resistance Against Japan still have preferential treatment, but when the Han traitors are caught, they must be shot? Because this kind of person has lost his humanity, his psychology is distorted, and there is no possibility of salvation.

There are still many people like Han Feizi, depressed, even wronged, and seriously traumatized. Of course, they may not have the talent of Han Feizi, but they pride themselves on being the master of the emperor, and they want to learn Confucius to use the Spring and Autumn Brushwork to guide the country, or simply run to a foreign country to breathe sweet air and help foreigners deal with their motherland. Some of them are better lucky than Han Feizi, after all, their expertise is not sensitive, but subtle, and the moisturizer is silent. Therefore, it can achieve fame and attract many fans.

Although Li Si was jealous of Xian's ability, what he said was very correct, if talented people could not use it, it was better to arrange it as soon as possible, otherwise the talent would be right with himself, which was really a headache.
