Inadequacies of Solon's reforms:
1. The reform is too hasty:
Solon's reforms were carried out in an emergency situation, so the steps of the reform were relatively rapid and may have been lacking in adequate thought and preparation. In his reforms, Shuttle hastily abolished democracy without providing a stable political system for its citizens. This also led to opposition and questioning of Solon's reforms by some.
2. The reform did not completely solve the problem
Although Solon's reforms laid the foundation for the political and economic development of ancient Greece, they did not completely solve the problem. The gap between the rich and the poor in ancient Greek society still existed, and the rights and freedoms of citizens were not fully guaranteed. This also laid the foundation for the contradictions and turmoil of later ancient Greek society.

Solon (c. 630-560 BC) was a famous political reformer and poet in ancient Greece. Born into an aristocratic family, he was a businessman and a traveler in his youth, visiting many places, roaming places of interest and inspecting social customs, and was later hailed as one of the "Seven Sages" of ancient Greece.
In the 7th century BCE, Athens was defeated by a war with its neighbor Megara over the island of Salamis. Subsequently, the Athenian authorities issued a humiliating decree: no one was allowed to propose a fight for the island of Salamis, and the offender was punishable by death.
The island of Salamis, located at the mouth of Athens, plays a vital role in the development of overseas **. Around 600 BC, at the age of about 30, Solon was appointed commander to command the troops and recapture the island of Salamis in one fell swoop.
Solon's prestige was greatly enhanced by his military exploits, and he became one of the most famous and influential figures in Athens, and the city's inhabitants regarded him as their leader and patron. In 594 BCE, Solon was elected chief executive of Athens, given the power to amend or retain existing laws and make new ones. He immediately implemented a series of reforms, issued a number of decrees, and launched a fierce attack on the clan nobility.
He divided all citizens into four classes according to the amount of property, and citizens of different classes enjoyed different political rights. Although this system did not achieve true equality among citizens, it broke the monopoly of official positions on the basis of hereditary privileges of the aristocracy and opened up avenues for non-aristocratic slave owners to acquire political rights.
Solon's reforms not only adjusted the relationship between the commoners and the nobility within the freedmen and expanded the social basis for the rule of the slave-owning class, but also struck a blow at the old clan system, raised the status of the commoners in the political life of the state, and promoted the transformation of the Athenian slave state from aristocracy to democracy.
Historical inevitability: Politically, the aristocracy occupied important positions such as the chief consul, and controlled the Council of Elders, which was the highest decision-making, superintendent, and judicial organ, and the citizens' assembly, which was the highest organ of power. >>>More

Personally, I think the fundamental reason is that it also shook the power system at that time, but there was a difference in the distribution of power. Shang Yang was still based on the feudal system and touched the interests of all the power owners at that time.
