The deceased are like this, not giving up day and night. Li Siren, as his name suggests, spent his whole life in order to show his talents and abilities for the sake of imperial skills, constantly wandering around, and finally surrendered to the most powerful country in the world, the Qin Kingdom, and became the minister of the Qin State, and the literary talent was both a politician and the ability of the Zongheng family, but he was defeated in the hands of a traitorous courtier, and it had to be said that he was a wise man and confused for a while.
Li Si (c. 284 BC – 208 BC), a Qin dynasty minister, famous politician, writer and calligrapher, assisted the Qin Shi Huang Emperor in unifying the world. Lis is a very regrettable figure in history, he used to be so dazzling and successful. Born in the last year of the Warring States period, Li Si was a Cai of the Chu State, and when he was young, he was a small official in charge of documents, he was the most famous political philosopher at that time, Xun Zi, a senior disciple, after completing his studies, he bid farewell to his teacher and went to the Qin State to find a way out.
"Criticism is greater than humility, and sorrow is better than poverty." This is what Li Si said to his teacher before leaving, which probably means that the Qin State is an ambitious country, the development momentum of the Qin State is very strong, and it can be seen that the Qin State will certainly try to make a big cause, this is a good opportunity to make a name for itself, as a person, lowliness is the greatest shame, poverty is a great sorrow, and I am a reader who will be treated differently by ordinary people, and if I do not actively seek a way out, I will be ridiculed. As a reader, reading is important, and fame and fortune are also their own pursuits, I said that it is not true that I do not love fame and fortune.
As far as Li Si's love of fame and fortune is concerned, he has been criticized by later generations, but the author feels that Li Si is the real gentleman, he said his inner thoughts, he intuitively expressed his desire for fame and fortune, and also hoped to show his talents, which in itself is true, and even if Li Si became the minister, it was also by his own strength, he had that skill, besides, he also helped Qin Shi Huang do a lot of things in the position of The Chancellor. In Li Si's view, the unification of the Qin kingdom was already unstoppable. Li Si did not want to stay in the Chu State any longer, and not only did he have no place to display his talents in the Chu State, but he might not even be able to afford to eat in the end.
Li Si then came to the Qin state and defected to the Qin Xiangguo Lü Buwei, and was soon appreciated for his outstanding ability, especially Li Si was able to write well, Li Si was not only a famous politician in the Qin Dynasty, but also the first innovator recorded in the history of Chinese calligraphy, who played a pioneering role in the development and innovation of Chinese character calligraphy, and also played a great decisive role in the later implementation of the policy of writing and writing. A good hand surprised Lü Buwei, so he could be selected by Lü Buwei from more than three thousand people, although he was only a petty official of the Qin State, but he had the opportunity to approach the King of Qin.
Li Si was Xun Zi's apprentice, and Han Feizi, who was a classmate of the Fa family, eventually had a conflict with Han Feizi. However, it is undeniable that Li Si is very knowledgeable, has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and the art of ji shi anmin. After graduating from Xunzi, he came to the Qin Kingdom and was favored by Lü Buwei. Why does Lees stand out?
Before the unification of Qin, he advised the Qin state and suggested that the King of Qin alienate the monarchs of various countries. For the Six Kingdoms, he also proposed the order of annexation of "destroying Han first, in order to fear other countries", which was appreciated and reused by the King of Qin, and then promoted to the rank of Guest Secretary, all the way to the position of Minister, and the King of Qin trusted him so much that he never doubted Li Si until his death. After the unification of Qin, Li Si participated in the formulation of laws to unify the system of rails, writing, and weights and measures. As a Chu national, Li Si traveled thousands of miles to the Qin Kingdom, where he reached the highest status he could achieve in his life.
