Han Fei (about 281 BC-233 BC), a native of Xiping County, Henan Province (native of Hantang Village on the north bank of Chushan Tangxi in Xiping County), was born in South Korea at the end of the Warring States Period, and was an outstanding thinker, philosopher and essayist at the end of the Warring States Period. Han Feizi combines Shang Yang's "Fa", Shen Buhai's "Shu" and Shen Dao's "Shi" into one, and he is a master of Legalism. Han Feizi integrated Laozi's dialectics with Xunzi's simple materialism, and he was also a master of a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, integrating the essence of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism and Legalism. Han Fei is the son of King Han, a student of Xunzi and a classmate of Reese. He is the author of Everything is done wrong, with 55 articles and more than 111,111 words. It is unique in the prose of pre-Qin philosophers, showing that Han Fei attached great importance to materialism and utilitarianism, and actively advocated the theory of absolute monarchy, with the aim of providing autocratic monarchs with the hegemonic thought of Qiang Bing, a rich country.
Han Feizi deeply loved his motherland, South Korea, but his political views were not taken seriously by the King of Korea, while Ying Zheng, King of Qin, sent troops to attack South Korea in order to get Han Fei. Li Si was jealous of Han Fei's talent and killed Han Fei in the State of Qin. However, Han Fei's legalist thought was reused by Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, to help the State of Qin enrich Qiang Bing and finally unify the six countries. Han Feizi's thought is profound and advanced, which has a far-reaching influence on later generations. He is the most admired ancient thinker in China by Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao once said, "China's ancient statesmen were basically legalists. "
Records of the Historian shows that the king of Qin saw the books of Lonely Anger and Five Mistakes and said," Well, I won't hate it if I see this man swimming with him! " We can see the attention of the king of Qin at that time. Han Feizi is also one of the important sources of reference for the lack of historical materials in China's pre-Qin period, and many contemporary folklore and fables in the works have also become the source of idioms and allusions.
