The first part of "On Qin" first tells the reasons why Qin Zi was filial to the masses and the emperor gradually became powerful: geographical advantages, the idea of reforming the country, the correct war strategy, and the painstaking efforts of several Qin kings. The style of writing is full of momentum by using parallel prose and fine description methods.
After that, I wrote that although my strength is very small, I can bring down the powerful state of Qin. By contrast, I came to the conclusion that Qin's death was a "benevolent move". 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.
The next chapter writes that Zi Ying, the king of Qin, failed to save the country and help the poor, mainly accusing Zi Ying, the king of Qin, of his fault.

On Guo Qin is a political paper. "Guo Qin" means to point out Qin's mistakes, and "Guo" is a verb. "On" is the style of argumentative writing, which focuses on clarifying one's own views. On Qin is a historical theory that accuses Qin (politics) of being wrong. There are three articles about the Qin Dynasty. Among them, the first one is the best and the most influential.
It was first attached to the end of Historical Records of Qin Shihuang, and listed as the second article; Later, Chu added Historical Records, which was attached to the end of Chen She Family. This article is also selected from Hanshu New Books Selected Works.
In the first volume of Jia Yi's monograph "New Book", this article is clearly marked as the "first part" of three articles. In Historical Records, Hanshu, Xinshu and Wenxuan, there are great differences in the wording and sentences of articles.
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 he wanted to "examine the past, examine the present, participate in personnel, examine the rise and fall, and judge the power and suitability".
Advocating "proceeding in sequence and changing with time" aims to achieve "long-term security, then national security" (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.
