The complete works of Han Feizi's classic famous sayings and sentences are as follows:

1. Far water does not put out near fire.

Han Fei's "Han Fei Zi Shuo Lin Shang" in the Warring States Period. Water in the distance can't put out a fire nearby. This sentence is similar to the meaning of "far water does not solve near thirst" "Han Feizi said on the forest": "If you are unemployed and take water from the sea, the fire will not go out even though there is a lot of sea water. Far water does not put out near fire. " "Zhuangzi Foreign Things" said: Zhuang Zhou saw a small fish in the ditch of the dry car on the road and begged him to give it a liter and a half of water to quench his thirst and save his life.

Zhuang Zhou said: OK, wait for me to go to the south and bring the water from Xijiang River to save you. Fish said: according to your statement, you have to go to the dried fish shop to find me. Both of these stories illustrate the truth that there is no hurry. Although some things are in good conditions (such as a lot of water in the open sea), they are unrealistic and cannot solve the real problems that need to be solved urgently (such as the fire and drought in front of us).

2. Clever deception is better than sincere.

see everything is done in the forest. Clever deception is not as good as clumsy honesty. In general, people prefer "cleverness" to "clumsiness", but the cleverer the deception, the more serious the consequences. Therefore, people hate rhetoric fraud, but prefer people who are clumsy but sincere. This understanding is in line with common sense and can still be cited today.

3. When people are ill, it is expensive to treat them.

see "everything is done by Han Fei-zi to help the elderly". Suffering from illness: getting sick. Expensive, respectful. People should respect doctors when they are sick. People are sick and hope that doctors can cure themselves, so they respect doctors in particular. It can be used to say that patients should respect doctors; It can also be used to mean that people are in trouble. We should respect those who come to help.

expanding knowledge: Han Feizi

Han Feizi (about 28-233 BC), whose name was Fei, was a Korean in the Warring States Period, and was one of the representatives of the Legalist School. He advocated the rule of law and the establishment of a centralized monarchy. Han Feizi's thought of rule of law had a far-reaching impact on ancient Chinese society, and also provided a theoretical basis for the Qin Dynasty to unify the six countries. His works include Han Feizi, which is one of the classics of Legalism.

Han Feizi is a member of the Korean royal family. He once worked for the Korean monarch, but he was not reused. Later, he came to the State of Qin, was appreciated by Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, and became an important official of the State of Qin. However, Han Feizi's legalist thought was opposed by the old nobles of Qin, who framed Han Feizi for rebellion. After weighing the pros and cons, Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, finally ordered Han Feizi to be executed.
