The practice is like a mountain - Thoughts after reading "The Great Qin Empire"

I haven't written a diary for a long time. After reading "The Great Qin Empire", I finally got the urge to write. I haven't been so shocked in a long time. After watching "The Qin Empire", my heart was really shaken up. Once upon a time, I lost interest in many novels and only liked reading historical novels (of course not the type of drama). Every time I watch a movie, I feel excited in my heart, and "The Qin Empire" really made me not only feel excited, but also made me close my book and meditate many times. Taizong said: "With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall." This is truly a wise saying. Through understanding and understanding of our ancestors, I seemed to have cleared away the fog and clearly saw today's reality.

At first, I watched "The Qin Empire" just because I had a long-standing interest in history, and had no special intention; I just felt that it was just a panoramic display of another prosperous age. However, when Brother Zhen and I watched the first TV series of "The Qin Empire", "Black Fission", I was deeply shocked. I feel that Jaspers’ theory of the Axial Age is very meaningful. The creation period of a civilization is often the most dynamic and creative, and the Qin Empire was no exception. The Qin Empire, which was in the "era of great strife", had something completely different from many equally powerful empires in later generations. These things were the basis for the strength of the Qin Empire, and they were also ignored by later generations and missing in subsequent history. And only these things need to be dug out again. Because it is these deficiencies that make China's native civilization create miracles but also contain the possibility of decline and failure. And "The Qin Empire" unearths these things to make us rethink the part of history we are familiar with, allowing us to see more clearly the path we need to take today.

In my opinion, this unique thing has at least two aspects: rule of law and business sophistication. Both of these points are reflected in "The Qin Empire".

Anyone who has watched "The Great Qin Empire" knows that Qin Law is the institutional guarantee and the cornerstone of the rise of Qin. The entire "Black Fission" shows the entire process of Shang Yang's reform. Why did Mr. Sun Haohui start here? Obviously, Shang Yang's Reform was a watershed and turning point in the history of the Qin State. It was the first cornerstone of the Qin State's strength. It was also the first time in the history of Chinese civilization that the concept of the rule of law was turned into reality, and it was the first time in the history of Chinese civilization that a rule of law country with complete laws was established. , especially the first (and only) time that a firm belief in the rule of law and a law-abiding spirit were established among an ethnic group of the Chinese nation. All of this is extremely valuable wealth for the Chinese nation.
