Xunzi and his disciples Han Fei, Li Si, Zhang Cang .

Han Feizi, but he didn't like him because he was powerful, but because Li Si was too treacherous.

I prefer Xunzi because he passed on his talents to Han Fei, and it was Han Fei who carried forward the theory of Legalism. Li Si was jealous of Han Fei's talent and conspired with others to slander the King of Qin.

Forced him to commit suicide.

It's Han Feizi, and he's also very powerful.

Because he teaches students according to their aptitude, he makes them learn what they want to learn according to their wishes, and he makes students learn a lot of things.

I feel that Xunzi's doctrine is closer to modernity, the convergence of Confucianism and law, self-discipline + other laws. With Confucian moral norms, self-cultivation and self-discipline plus national laws for national discipline management, the direction of philosophy remains unchanged, and the details are adjusted according to the changes of the times.

Because at that time, everyone gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools to form their own ideological system, so it was not unusual for such a phenomenon to occur.

The author of "Xunzi" is named Xunzi, and his descendants are honored as "Xunqing".

Xunzi (c. 313 B.C., 238 B.C.), name, Ziqing, Huaxia (Han nationality), Zhao at the end of the Warring States period. A famous thinker, writer, and politician, he was known as "Xun Qing". In the Western Han Dynasty, because of the avoidance of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun, because the ancient sound of the words "Xun" and "Sun" are connected, it is also called Sun Qing.

He served as the sacrificial wine of the Jixia School Palace of Qi State three times, and later served as the order of Chu Lanling (located in present-day Lanling County, Shandong).

There are 32 chapters in the book Xunzi, most of which were written by himself except for a few chapters. His articles are good at reasoning, well-organized, thorough analysis, good at taking examples, often using comparative sentences to enhance the momentum of arguments, and the language is rich and vigilant, and has strong persuasive and appealing power.

Xunzi's thoughts.

1. The idea of heaven and nature.

Xunzi naturalized, objectified and regularized "Heaven", "Mandate of Heaven" and "Heavenly Dao", in Xunzi's view, Heaven is natural, and there is no reason, will, good and evil. Heaven is a natural heaven, not a personal God. He called the subtle functions such as yin and yang, wind and rain, gods, and the natural world composed of these functions heaven.

The creation of the universe is not created by God, but is the result of the movement of all things themselves.

2. The idea of "heaven is constant".

Xunzi thinks that the sky is not mysterious and unpredictable, but has its own immutable laws. This law is not a mystical heavenly way, but a natural inevitability, which does not depend on the likes and dislikes of the human world to change. One must not disobey this law, but only strictly observe it.

3. The idea of "heaven and man are separated".

Xunzi believes that nature and human beings have their own laws and duties. Heaven cannot interfere with humanity, heaven returns to heaven, and man returns to man.

4. The idea of "making the destiny of heaven and using it".

In Xunzi's view, instead of superstitious about the authority of heaven, to think about it, sing praises to him, and wait for the gift of "heaven", it is better to use the laws of nature to serve people.

even takes the attitude towards heaven as the criterion for distinguishing between a gentleman and a villain. Emphasizing man's subjective initiative in the face of nature. Xunzi clearly declared that to know the way of heaven is to be able to dominate the way of heaven and dominate the natural world.

The author's name of "Xunzi" (Xun Condition), the founder of the Legalist family, and later generations respectfully call him (the ancestor of Cifu).

Because Zhang Cang and Li Si did not have a deep friendship, Li Si did not take him to heart, and Zhang Cang did not study Legalist thought.

Because Han Fei's ability surpasses Li Si, if Han Fei serves the Qin State wholeheartedly, Li Si will lose his reuse, plus Han Fei still has South Korea in his heart, so Li Si has become a knife to kill Han Fei.

Because Li Si thinks that Zhang Cang is not too much of a threat to himself, while Han Fei is very talented and poses a great threat to himself.

Although Xunzi is a representative of Confucianism, his thoughts are actually different from traditional Confucianism, for example, he advocates politically educating the people with Confucian benevolence and righteousness, and at the same time using law to restrain people.

Although Xunzi was a representative of Confucianism, Han Feizi and Li Si were not imprisoned by thought, and still advocated other ideas.

Xunzi can't be regarded as having a deep understanding of the true meaning of Confucianism at all, but echoes the Legalists who also take the theory of sexual evil as the core.

He was a representative figure but not a Confucian person, and he did other things.
