1. Han Fei (about 280 BC - 233 BC), also known as Han Feizi, was born in Xinzheng (now Henan), South Korea, at the end of the Warring States Period, and was a representative figure of ancient Chinese legalist thought.
2. Han Feizi was born in the royal family of South Korea. He and Li Si were both students of Xunzi. Later, because of his profound knowledge, Han Feizi was summoned to Qin by the First Emperor of Qin. He was about to be put in an important position, but was killed by his jealous classmate Li Si.
3. After Han Feizi died, Qin Shihuang completed the imperial task of unifying the six countries under his guidance.
4. Han Feizi's learning originated from Xunzi and Confucianism, and became a legalist. He also studied Laozi's thought, which was rooted in Taoism.
5. Sima Qian pointed out that Han Feizi liked "the magic of name punishment" and was rooted in Taoism's "Huanglao School".
6. He integrates Shang Yang's "law", Shen Buhai's "art" and Shen Dao's "potential", and integrates dialectics, simple materialism and law. He is the epitome of legalist thought, leaving behind a large number of speeches and works for future generations.
7. His theory has always been the ideological basis for the ruling class to govern the country in the feudal society of China.
8. Han Feizi has written articles such as Gu Fen, Wutong, Nei Chu Shuo, Wai Chu Shuo, Shuolin, Shuo Nan, which later generations collected and compiled into Han Feizi.
