Why did the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States States change the law, only Shang Ying s

From ancient times to the present, if a country wants to be strong and strong, it must continue to make progress and development, and reform is the most effective means. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many kings were constantly looking for ideas and theories that could make the country strong. At that time, many new ideas and schools of thought also emerged, but in the torrent of history, only the Shang Dynasty reform finally succeeded.

The success of Shang Ying's reform was not only due to the social background of the time, but also to Shang Ying's personal foresight. <>

1. The Qin State had a good political foundation at that time, the Qin State was located in the northwest region, the terrain was relatively remote, the country was relatively closed, and the culture was relatively backward. After being excluded and discriminated against by other countries, the King of Qin was determined to make the country strong and prosperous, so that other countries would be impressed. The political structure of Qin and the other six countries is not the same, Qin only needs to conquer the old school if he wants to reform the law, while the other six countries have to fight against the old school and face the new interest groups, so that the Shang Dynasty reform carried out by Qin not only has a strong feasibility but also has a strong thoroughness, and the political foundation of Qin provides a good social environment for the Shang Dynasty reform.

Although Shang Ying was also a Confucian scholar, he was able to grasp the historical trend well, follow the objective law of historical development, and timely adapt to form a very influential Legalist thought. Shang Ying proposed the system of continuous sitting, abolishing the well field system, releasing land productivity, attaching importance to cultivation and planting, rewarding military merits, so that the people are positive and willing to dedicate themselves to the country, Shang Ying's reform involves many areas of people's production and life, and many people have raised objections in the process of changing the law, but Qin Xiaogong has great trust in Shang Ying, Qin Xiaogong pinned the country's hopes on Shang Ying, hoping to make Qin State embark on the road of strengthening the country through Shang Ying's reform. <>

After the baptism of the Shang Dynasty, the Qin State not only developed rapidly in the economy, but also became very strong in the army. Even if Shang Ying was killed later, the impact of his changes was extremely far-reaching. The various achievements of the Shang Dynasty reform laid the foundation for the unification of the six countries after the Qin State, and it was the most profound reform in the history of our country.

Because Shang Ying proposed to change the law and rule the country by law, it was in line with the national interests at that time. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States were unrighteous wars. A lot of wars are pointless. At that time, the law was severe. In line with the requirements of the times.

Because the Shang Dynasty reform method is more suitable for the situation of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States States competing for hegemony. At that time, the situation of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States States was to hope to unify and then dominate, and the rest of the changes were not combined with the reality at that time, only the Shang Yang reform combined with the reality of the time and promoted the development of the Qin State.

Shang Ying's reform followed the trend of historical development, and he received strong support from the rulers.

Because among the changes in the laws of various countries, only the Shang Yang reform was the most thorough, and the changes were truly implemented, while the means of other countries were weak, and the changes did not last long. Of course, the success of Shang Ying's reform stemmed from Qin Xiangong's strong support.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the situation of government control over commerce was broken for the following reasons:

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, commerce was controlled by the government. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes competed for hegemony, and the situation of the government's control of commerce was broken.

Private handicrafts and individual businesses and merchant classes gradually diverged.

Private businessmen replaced official businessmen as the main body of businessmen, and the social status of businessmen improved.

The use of iron farming tools and oxen ploughing contributed to the development of productivity.

Background: During the Western Zhou Dynasty, industry and commerce were managed by the government in a unified manner, that is, the so-called "industrial and commercial food officials", but in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Zhou royal family declined, and the "industrial and commercial food officials" system went bankrupt, and it was impossible to restrict the management of industrial and commercial people, so private industry and commerce flourished, and industrial and commercial people began to call the "four people" together with Shi Wang Zhao and the people, and private businessmen gradually replaced officials and businessmen to become the main body of businessmen.

Because it is a change that Shang Ying Xingqi presided over, it is called Shang Yang Change. If it's a change that you initiated and presided over, it will also be named after you.

The Shang Martingale method was carried out in two phases. The first began in 356 BC and the second in 350 BC.

Migrating wood is a letter to be eliminated.

Original text: Shang Ying's decree has not been issued, and the fear of the people's disbelief in themselves is to set up a three-zhang wood at the south gate of the national capital, and recruit the people to be able to relocate to the north to give ten gold. The people are strange, don't dare to migrate.

He replied: "Fifty gold will be given to those who can migrate." "There was a man who migrated and gave fifty gold, so that he would not be deceived.

The pawn gave an order, and the order was carried out by the people.

Translation: The decree of the Shang Dynasty Reform Law was prepared, but it was not published. He was worried that the people would not believe him, so he erected a three-zhang high log outside the south gate of the national capital bazaar and announced:

Whoever can carry this stick of wood to the north gate of the bazaar shall give him ten gold. The people were strange, and no one dared to move. Shang Ying showed the notice again and said:

and to him who could move was to give him fifty gold. "A man had the courage to carry the wood to the north gate of the bazaar, and Shang Ying immediately ordered him to be given fifty gold to show that he had done what he said. Shang then ordered a change in the law, and the new law was soon implemented throughout the country.

In his early years, when commenting on the story of "Ximu Lixin", he pointed out: "The law of Shang Yang is also a good law...Its law punishes adultery to protect the rights of the people, farming and weaving to enhance the prosperity of the people, military merit to establish national prestige, and poverty and slackness to eliminate consumption.

This is a great policy that our country has never had. Why are the people afraid and not believing? He who will move the wood to establish his faith, and I know that the ruler is slow and painstaking."

It is not difficult to move a piece of wood, the key is to establish a prestige that is hard to buy.
