Character information
Han Fei (about 280 BC - 233 BC), a famous thinker of the Han nationality in the late Warring States period and a representative figure of Legalism. He is honored as Han Feizi or Han Zi. The son of King Han (Korean monarch at the end of the Warring States Period) and a student of Xunzi. As a representative of Legalism in the Qin State, he was highly appreciated by Qin King Ying Zheng, but was jealous of Li Si and others, and was eventually imprisoned and poisoned. He is known as one of the two people (the other is Zhuang Zhou) who has the most essence of Laozi's thoughts. He is the author of the book "Han Feizi", with fifty-five chapters and more than 100,000 words. It is unique among the prose of pre-Qin scholars, showing that Han Fei attaches great importance to materialism and utilitarianism, and actively advocates the theory of monarchical absolutism, with the purpose of providing the autocratic monarch with the hegemonic idea of ??enriching the country and strengthening the army.
