Erick Roque Chinese Legalism History Report Background Information According to the website, Legalism - Ancient History Encyclopedia, it says that the Chinese legalism now became the official philosophy of the Qin Dynasty. After the website says that, it has parentheses that says numbers. I think it means the years (221 - 206 BCE). The person who wrote this was named Emily Mark.
Qin Shi Huang-Di has left a large impact on China, and by extension the world, that has lasted many years. Qin created the foundation of the Chinese country of today. Some scholars even believe that without Qin Shi Huang-Di, there would be no China at all (Gracie). Qin’s impact on the world was the creation of an entire country, a pretty impressive feat. Especially in his time, when nothing like China had ever been created before, his unification and reformation of China into a lasting country is inspiring.
Han Feizi Mia Valenzuela Han Feizi also known as Han Fei began the teachings of Legalism during 200 B.C. His main idea was to make a system of strict punishments and harsh laws. He taught that humans were naturally made evil. He also believed that the government needed to issue harsh laws and stiff punishments to force them to do their duty. Han Feizi lived from 280 B.C. through 233 B.C., he had died from committing suicide.
The Mughal and Manchu/Qing empires were formed during the 16th century and became two of the largest, economically successful, and most powerful dynasties in Asia for over two hundred years. “In each empire, hereditary emperors ruled over multi-ethnic and multi-religious states. As the result of conquest, ethnic minorities ruled both the Qing Dynasty in China and Mughal Empire in India”. These empires thrived and expanded over the years due to their effective leadership and implicit understanding of the inherent problems of minority rule. The Mughal Empire in India was created by Muslims from Central Asia who maintained control over a population consisting primarily of Hindus and the Manchu or Qing Dynasty consisted of a small number of Manchurians ruling a vast population of Han Chinese.
Legalism is a type of "Classical Chinese philosophy" (Legalism and Chinese Philosophy) that grasped strong eminence during the bold, storming, Warring States Era (475 BCE–221 BCE). Legalists struggled to improve the human lifestyle by noble examples, education, and moral/righteousness laws or rules. During the Qin dynasty, it was needed for a strong government in addition to a carefully designed set of rules and principles. Qin Shi Huangdi, "first emperor" (Legalism) with this was a defending force that would factually, enforce these rules/laws and punish severely in even the most minor violations or mistakes. Throughout the years and understandings, the conceptual/elements of Legalism has been decaying, and starting to become more lenient
Laws are for the good of people for not doing a crime and getting punishment for doing a crime. One of the main laws was the feudal law. It was an agreement with a lord and his vassals. A vassal had to do military and political service while a lord had to give the vassal a grant of land. The decline of feudalism happened when vassals would team up with other vassals and override the power of the king.
When China was invaded by the Mongols in 1276 C.E. I, a Chinese Confucian scholar, was fascinated with the Mongols endeavor to ingratiate themselves into Confucian China. They adopted many of the policies and rituals that Confucianist pursed. The Mongols also demonstrated the five relationships by displaying the capability and power of their ruler compared to the capability and power of a subject. I believe that Genghis Khan and his descendants are not guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity because they pursued to flatter the people who followed Confucianism, adopted many of their traditions, and spread the Confucian philosophy throughout their
Legalism is an ancient Chinese philosophy stating that a strong leader and a strong legal system, not moral values, are needed to create social order. For example, they raised takes to very high amounts, and forced labor on the people. The Han dynasty abandoned this policy because they did not want to follow the same path the Qin dynasty did and have people rebel over them. This policy was the first for the Han to abandon. The last policy was harsh laws.
Qin Shi Huang’s BELIEFS IMMORTALITY • Many of Qin Shi Huang’s actions were determined by his desire to be immortal. His fear of death made him obsessed with finding the elixir of life so he could live forever. Doctors and alchemists created a number of potions, many containing mercury, which most likely caused the Emperor’s death rather than preventing it. THE AFTER WORLD • In case the elixirs did not work, Qin Shi Huang ordered the construction of an enormous tomb for himself.
Qin Shi Huang-Di, during his short reign as the first emperor of China, unified and reformed the country, built the great wall and countless other things, including a gigantic tomb famously known for its terracotta army. Of course, while he was effective, he was also cruel, oppressive, and paranoid, getting rid of anyone who disagreed with him. The foundation of modern China was formed by his administration, and his reputation and legacy last until this day as a leader of history. In addition, Qin has influenced the modern world not only through his lasting legacy through his creation of China but also through his influence on Mao Zedong, a Chinese Communist leader. Mao, who led China to become a communist country, compared himself to Qin Shi
The purpose of this was to show people how to be in harmony with their place in life. Legalism is a ruling made by Shi Huangdi, who was a strict ruler in china. The purpose of this ruling was to get the people of china to follow the rule, and if they didn’t there was a very harsh punishment. Although confucianism and legalism have some similarities, but the differences between the two are amazingly clear.
The Shang dynasty is one of the Chinese dynasties and a great one also. The Shang dynasty is the oldest proven dynasty but Chinese people think that there was one before called the Xia dynasty. The Xia dynasty was believed to be started by Yu the Great. Chinese stories say that Yu the Great solved flooding problems in china. The Xia dynasty is important to the Chinese because the stories about the Xia dynasty told of kings working together.
Confucianism also teaches about the necessary principles of governing. In Legalism, the most important principles to governing properly are having clear laws that are firmly imposed and possessing a strong military. Confucius agrees that a military is one of the necessary governing principles. When asked about governing principles he lists three things: sufficient food, an ample military, and trust people have for the governmental powers (Confucius Speaks, 88). However, probably much to the disagreement of Legalists, the military is the first thing Confucius knocks of the list, seeing it as the most unessential of the three (Confucius Speaks, 88).
During the Warring State period of China, there were many philosophers who had different views of the governmental system. Legalism, argued by Han Feizi during the Warring State period of China, originated from the idea that humans must be governed by some strong external governmental power. On the other hand, Confucianism put more importance on living by virtue rather than the law itself. Thus, the view of humans of whether they can be trusted or not to govern themselves can hugely affect the governing style of a country. Even though countries are no longer run by certain philosophical ideas, the diverse views on humans or citizens play crucial roles in deciding the ways to attain an unprejudiced society for everyone, the foundation of law;
