The first part, by reviewing the prosperous history of Qin State, points out that the reform plan of Qin State is stronger than seizing the world, and it is impossible to defend the world because of "benevolence and righteousness". In the second part, the mistakes after the unification of Qin dynasty are discussed in detail.
This novella points out that Qin unified the world and ended years of war. Originally, the situation was good, but Qin Shihuang did not formulate correct policies, but burned books to bury Confucianism and ruled the world with tyranny. By the next year, the original mistakes could not be corrected and the country was finally overturned.
The second part points out that if Zi Ying can change its original wrong policy and implement "closed door" and "halberd defense", it can hold the land of Sanqin, and then "protect the land and help the people", and Xu Tu will develop and even restore national unity. Unfortunately, however, the Qin Dynasty's consistent policy of "keeping his mouth shut" led to "harmony" from top to bottom. Zi Ying was isolated and had no relatives, and it was inevitable that he would eventually perish.
Content appreciation
From the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the present age, almost all the ancient prose anthologies have the content of Qin Dynasty (I), so many predecessors have commented on it. For example, Yao Nai, a poet in A Qing, rated him as a "majestic and grand boss" in A Collection of Ancient Literary Words, and Wu Kaisheng, a close friend, rated him as "a book full of attention, like a book".
Summing up the opinions of most commentators, I mainly say that this article is full of momentum and is a "prosperous" article. The full text analyzes the faults of the Qin Dynasty from various aspects, so it is named "On Qin". This paper aims to summarize the historical lessons of Qin's sudden death and provide reference for the establishment of the system and the consolidation of the rule in the Han Dynasty. It is a group of articles with profound insights and great artistic appeal.
