Features: Traditional Chinese culture, which is currently gaining people's attention. However, it is a pity that scholars who discuss traditional Chinese culture often focus solely on Confucian thought, neglecting Legalist thought; they often talk about Confucius and Mencius, but not Han Feizi. Han Feizi is not only a unique gem among the thoughts of the Hundred Schools of Thought in pre-Qin China but also a masterful prose work with clear arguments, sharp language, profound meanings, and a powerful style, achieving a high level in both thought and art. The fables in it are not only numerous but also many of them have been passed down to this day, becoming a valuable treasure in the history of Chinese literary creation. In this book, any corrections or revisions are based on the original ancient texts, and the original text of the QianDao edition and the basis for the revisions are explained in the notes, as well as the research findings of predecessors or oneself. Han Feizi is rich in content, not only possessing multiple important values worth developing and summarizing but also containing many academic issues that need to be explored and resolved.
