Governance: Shang Yang's Rule of Qin and the Origin of Modern State Governance

Ye Zicheng

182K0

Shang Yang's Reform was a far-reaching major change in Chinese history. Its significance was not only to help the Qin State rise to become a powerful country, but also to have innovative significance in starting the modernization of the system. Scholars such as Fukuyama believe that the theory of national governance and legal system proposed by Shang Yang made political theory break away from the moral school. "Many characteristics of China's national governance today can be attributed to this historical inheritance." This book re-reads the essence of Legalist classics, interprets Shang Yang's complete strategy for governing Qin, summarizes the advantages of the political system for the rise of ancient countries, and explores the traditional cultural foundation of national governance. The innovation of Shang Yang's strategy for governing Qin was first reflected in the establishment of the rule of law. Before the Qin Dynasty, the governance ideas of various Chinese countries centered on the rule of ritual or the rule of man. Shang Yang proposed to replace the rule of man with the rule of law and limit the monarch's power. Secondly, around the core of the rule of law, we should launch innovations in specific governance concepts, covering aspects such as managing agriculture, the military, officials, business, the country, society, and the people. A highly organized official system based on personal abilities, focused on developing agriculture, solving the problem of strengthening the army, achieving six unifications, and establishing a strong country model. Through reforms, the Qin State quickly embarked on the road to becoming a powerful country from a backward country in the early Warring States Period.

The Truth About Sima Yi

Luo Huatong Chen Hu

For more than a thousand years, Sima Yi has always appeared as a wise man and political conspirator who makes people love and hate him. In particular, Sima's bloody methods in usurping the power of Cao Wei made him the biggest villain in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". But what about the real Sima Yi in history? Sima Yi was an outstanding statesman, militarist, and strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, and the actual founder of the Western Jin Dynasty. He once served as the governor, general, captain, and tutor of Cao Wei. He was an important minister who assisted Cao Wei for three generations, and later became a powerful official in control of the Wei Dynasty. He was good at making ingenious strategies and made many military exploits. Not only did he lead his army to successfully resist Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and the expedition to pacify Liaodong, but he also made important contributions to the development of farming economy such as farming and water conservancy. Precisely because of its unique historical status, it has received mixed reviews in history. In literary works such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and film and television dramas, it is mostly portrayed as a villain. In order to present a real Sima Yi to contemporary people, we have selected a series of research results on Sima Yi by contemporary scholars such as Zhou Liang, Liu Chunfan, Sun Liqun, Wang Xiaoyi, and Mao Yuanyou, as well as the appendix "Book of Jin Xuandi Ji" and historical evaluations of Sima Yi, trying to help the world correctly understand the real Sima Yi in history.

The Sui Dynasty, which was at its peak and glorious, quickly turned around and fell into the abyss of history that would never be restored. The feat of personally conquering Goguryeo was only attempted once by those as powerful as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, but Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did it three times: the first attack on Goguryeo resulted in the loss of soldiers and generals, and public resentment boiled over; the second attack on Goguryeo, a fire broke out in the backyard, and the success failed; the third attack on Goguryeo was troubled internally and externally, and was surrounded by crises. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, who loved to travel around the world, also went to Jiangdu three times: the first two times were glorious, he earned enough face and put on a show. But when he went to Jiangdu three times, he was in a disgraceful state and was in a miserable state. Emperor Sui Yang, who was related to the "Three", was ultimately destroyed at the hands of three people named Li: Li Mi, a wanted criminal who once hid in Tibet, became the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Sui Dynasty; Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, were close relatives of Emperor Sui Yang, but they were also the real end of the Sui Dynasty.

Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, the "great tyrant" in the eyes of the world. However, who can deny his legend! The heroic spirit, the long-term achievements, coupled with a tragic ending, a less solemn posthumous title, such a huge tension, really makes everyone hate and fascinate. According to market legend, he killed his father and brother, was debauched, cruel and cruel. According to official historical records, he carried out large-scale construction projects and launched military campaigns, so he was very happy with his achievements. A posthumous title of "Yang" will forever nail him to the pillar of shame in history. However, you may not have seen it, but he has made great achievements: the Grand Canal connects the north and the south, benefiting generations; the city of Luoyang is powerful in the east, and its name has been passed down through the ages. You may not see it, but he is extremely talented: he has washed away the decadent poetic style since the Southern Dynasties and caught up with the majestic style of the Han and Wei dynasties. Although one good deed cannot cover up a hundred evils, one sin cannot negate a hundred merits. Was Emperor Sui Yang really worthless in history? How much of a devil and how much of a hero is he?

The Sui Dynasty was like a meteor, shining brightly and destroying in an instant in Chinese history. Despite this, it has extraordinary and legendary historical characteristics: unity, prosperity, civilization and short-lived, tyrannical and rebellious coexistence. Yang Jian, the founder of the Sui Dynasty, was born in a monastery and raised by nuns. He entered the official career at the age of only fourteen and quickly climbed to the core of power with special means. When he was less than forty years old, he once again used special means to seize the imperial power from the orphans and widows after the death of the emperor's son-in-law. Changing dynasties has long been commonplace in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. During the two hundred years, many emperors and generals hoped to end the troubled times, but they all failed. However, Yang Jian succeeded. In history, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was still a new emperor at the time, but he used force and strategy to split the Turkic Empire and replace it as the hegemon in East Asia. Later, the world once again saw his power as a hegemon, and the Sui Dynasty wiped out Nanchen and unified the world in just two months. In terms of hegemony, he deserves the title of "Eternal Emperor"!

The person who was called the "Sage Khan" was not Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, but Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. This alone is enough to give a glimpse of the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty during the founding years of the Sui Dynasty that was comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty wanted to establish an ideal government and become a wise king and saint who would shine through the ages, so he restrained himself, restored etiquette, and worked hard to govern, which created a bright side of him and the Sui Dynasty: stunning martial arts, radiant regulations, and Qian Yun's heroic spirit... But his demanding ideals and morals also laid a deep crisis for the prosperous age of the Sui Dynasty. : In order to ensure food reserves, he would rather flee famine with the people than open a warehouse for relief; he built the magnificent Daxing City, but the inner square was as strict as a chessboard; he criticized his son harshly, which ultimately led to a tragic tragedy for the family and even the country... His value orientation destined him to be unable to be a moral monarch, let alone a sentimental monarch. His way of ruling also plunged the entire Sui Dynasty into a puzzle of only magnanimity but no warmth.
