Features: The Han Feizi is a renowned ancient Chinese legalist work and has long been regarded as a comprehensive compilation of legalist doctrines. Han Feizi's writings were compiled into the book Han Feizi, which currently exists in a version containing fifty-five articles, divided into twenty volumes. A small number of these works may have been added by Han Feizi's later followers, but most chapters are original compositions by Han Feizi, providing a comprehensive reflection of his legalist thought. This small book is organized into three parts: quotes, key principles, and stories. The quotes are arranged in the original order of the book's chapters, and the selection of quotes is based on their typicality. This characteristic is not easy to grasp, especially for a complex book like The Han Feizi. The author of this book adheres to historical materialism as a guiding principle, maintains the unity of history and logic, and upholds the principle of seeking truth from facts. The aim is to integrate academic rigor, scientificity, practicality, and accessibility, thereby serving the inheritance and promotion of excellent traditional Chinese cultural heritage and the construction of socialist material and spiritual civilization.
