Only Shang Yang's reform from top to bottom in history was truly successful. Zhang's political reform was successful before his death and was completely overthrown after his death.

On the surface, reform is to change ways and means and correct unreasonable phenomena in real society. It is a question of economic distribution and political discourse power, but the fundamental reason for the success of a reform and top-down reform is the people's hearts. Incorrect attitude is the biggest cost of social operation. No matter how perfect the rules and regulations are, the people who implement them are absent, and no matter how perfect the rules and regulations are, they will not play their due role. On the contrary, under the condition of imperfect rules and regulations, a single-minded person can also work miracles.

Reform-its fundamental is to change people's minds.

If the reform is to succeed, we must first change people's minds. Even the best rules and regulations are useless. People's hearts have improved. Without rules and regulations, people will make them themselves.
