On Guo Qin is the representative work of Jia Yizheng's thesis, which is divided into three parts. The full text analyzes the faults of the Qin Dynasty from various aspects, so it is named "On Qin". This paper aims to summarize the historical lessons of Qin's sudden death and provide reference for the establishment of the system and the consolidation of the rule in the Han Dynasty. It is a group of articles with profound insights and great artistic appeal.
The first part of "On Qin" first tells the reasons why Qin Zi was filial to the masses and the emperor gradually became powerful: geographical advantages, the idea of reforming the country, the correct war strategy, and the painstaking efforts of several Qin kings. Parallel prose and fine description methods are used in writing, which is full of momentum; Later, he wrote that although Chen She's strength was small, it could overthrow the powerful Qin State.
In the comparison, it is concluded that Qin's death lies in "benevolence and righteousness are not applied". After Qin unified the world, there was no correct policy and Qin Shihuang's wrong policy was not corrected, which was mainly the fault of accusation. The next chapter writes that Zi Ying, the king of Qin, failed to save the country and help the poor, mainly accusing Zi Ying, the king of Qin, of his fault.
Moreover, the world is not small and weak, and Yongzhou is solid and self-sufficient. Chen She's position is not respected by Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Song, Wei and Zhongshan. Thorns are hoed, not long shovels of hooks; The people stationed in the garrison are not resistant to the division of the nine countries; Visionary, marching with troops, not for the people of the times.
However, there are differences between success and failure, and vice versa. Try to make Shandong and Chen She have a long history, so we can't talk in the same year. Qin, however, is a mere place, but it has become a thousand times more powerful, with eight countries in the same column, which has been more than a hundred years. Then take Liuhe as the home and take faith as the word; Water under the bridge, but difficult to be alone. Benevolence and kindness are not applied, and the tendency to attack and defend is different.
