The novella analyzes that after Qin unified the world, without correct policies, Qin Ershi failed to correct the wrong policies of Qin Shihuang, mainly accusing Qin Ershi of his fault.

Writing characteristics:
1, the author compares the whole article and writes his own argument at the end.
The author used four aspects of comparison: the comparison of Qin itself, first strong and then weak, first prosperous and then declining, first prosperous and then dead; Comparison between Qin and Six Countries: Comparison between Qin and Six Countries: Comparison between Chen She and Six Countries. Several contrasts are intertwined, and the structure is natural and magnificent, and the momentum is natural and majestic, and the words are more weighty.
2. Write reasoning prose by writing fu.
Writing Fu requires exaggeration, which Jia Yi uses throughout. For example, in the first paragraph, there are four sentences, such as "sweeping the world", "containing", "being contained" and "being annexed", which are basically synonymous. Several words are written together with the same meaning, which is both parallelism and duality. This is the exaggeration of writing fu.
3. Narrative contrast.
The author summed up the history of more than 100 years from Qin Xiaogong to the demise of Qin, and expounded the whole process and main phenomena of the rise and fall of Qin. At the same time, it also runs through the author's own views to explain the key to its rise and fall.

About the author:
Guo Qin Lun is the representative work of Jia Yi's political theory. Jia Yi (former 200- former 168) was born in Luoyang (now east of Luoyang, Henan). Political commentator and writer in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty.
Jia Yi's main literary achievement is his political thesis, and he has written ten new books. His representative works include On Qin, Chen Zhengshi (also known as Public Security Policy) and On Accumulation and Storage.
Creative background:
The era of Emperor Wendi in the Western Han Dynasty was the early stage of the so-called "peace and prosperity" in the Han Dynasty, that is, "the rule of cultural scene". Jia Yi, with his keen insight, saw the latent crisis in the Western Han Dynasty through appearances. At that time, rich and powerful people embezzled a large number of farmers' land, forcing farmers into bankruptcy and exile, and heavy oppression, exploitation and cruel punishment also aggravated class contradictions.
The contradiction between domestic feudal separatism and centralization, the contradiction between the ruling class and the working people, and the contradiction between ethnic groups are intensifying day by day, and the position of the rulers is in danger of being shaken. In order to reconcile various contradictions and ensure the long-term stability of the Western Han Dynasty, Jia Yi put forward many political opinions to the Han Dynasty in famous political essays such as Chen Zheng's Poems, On Storing and Storing, and On Guo Qin.
This paper analyzes the success or failure of Qin politics from the perspective of summing up historical experience and lessons, and provides reference for Emperor Wendi's political reform.
When talking about the purpose of writing, Jia Yi said that the reason why he wanted to "examine the past, the present, the personnel, the rise and fall, and the tactics" was that he advocated "step by step and change with the times" in order to seek "national security for a long time" (Part II). The article On Qin summed up the lessons of the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty, which was really Zhao Han's fault.
