How did Han Feizi die?

Han Feizi was admired by Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, envied by Li Si and others, and was finally imprisoned and poisoned.

Han Fei wrote to advise Qin Shihuang to cut Zhao first and slow down North Korea, which was slandered by Li Si and Li Si. They slandered and said, "Han Fei is also the son of Han. Today, the king wants to be a vassal, but he will not be a Han or A Qin. This person's love is also. Today, the king doesn't need it, but he stayed for a long time and came back. It is better to punish him with the law. "

Ying Zheng, king of Qin, accepted their statement and ordered Han Fei to be put in prison for trial. Reese sent someone to send poison to Han Fei to commit suicide. Han Fei wanted to tell Qin Shihuang about himself, but he couldn't see him. Ying Zheng regretted Han Fei's imprisonment and ordered a pardon, but it was too late.

Qin Wang is a "cruel man who thinks little", and his dumping of Han Fei's theory cannot eliminate his distrust of Han Fei. What he needs is the tools to realize his ruling ambition. People who can't act as such tools, no matter how good their knowledge is, have no value in existence. It was his original intention to imprison Han Fei, and killing him with his theory was in line with the ruler's character.

Han Fei is a master of legalism in the pre-Qin period. His thought of rule of law adapted to the historical environment of managing troubled times at the end of the Warring States Period and made great contributions to the unification of China by Qin. "Governing the country according to law and building a socialist country ruled by law" is the general plan of governing the country put forward by the CPC Central Committee. Han Fei's thought of rule of law was formed when the etiquette system was seriously damaged at the end of the Warring States Period. The concept of "taking law as the core, combining law, technique and potential" has transformed the traditional legal culture, which has realistic and targeted guiding significance for the rule of law construction in modern China.

Reforming the rule of law and strengthening the country is an important content of Han Fei's thought. Han Fei analyzes human history from the historical point of view of evolution. He saw the development of human history and used this concept of development to analyze the past, present and future of human society. It has a strong reference significance for China's current reform and opening up.
