First of all, Shang Yang's political reform conformed to the trend of historical development. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, slavery collapsed and the feudal system was established. Shang Yang's political reform conformed to the requirements of the times and the trend of historical development, which was the fundamental reason for the success of the political reform.
Second, Shang Yang's political reform was supported by the rulers.
Third, Shang Yang established the correct guiding ideology of "governing the world with differences and governing the country with the ancient" and won the trust of the people with a firm reform attitude.
Impact on the present:
First, reform is the necessity of historical development, and change is progress. From the existence of human beings to the present, human society has been developing under the impetus of its own contradictions, and reform is a special form brewed in a certain period of social development. This is like budding spring grass. If you don't let it germinate, you have to germinate, just like a rushing river can't stop it. People can only follow the historical trend to promote it, and should not stop it and become a stumbling block. Those who actively promote it are the pride of the times, appreciated by future generations, and those who stop it can only be scum and punished by history.
2. Reform cannot be divorced from reality and the masses. Reform is a far-sighted politician's move to promote social development and a great cause. It's not as simple as a lesbian knitting a sweater with three stitches. It needs relatively complete and thorough measures, which can only come from social reality and the broad masses of the people. In other words, reform must represent the interests of the people, and reform must conform to the people's will and suit their wishes. Otherwise. Reformers concentrate on "symphony" and the ending can only be "aria"
Third, reform is struggle. In essence, reform will be the change of production relations under the political form. However, the change of production relations is not calm, and the struggle between classes is inevitable. The Outline of General History records that at the beginning of the reform, Wu Qi and Shang Yang had to fight against the old aristocracy, and the two reformers of Wu Qi and Shang were finally killed because of hatred. Therefore, reform is struggle, and reform is revolution. It is a struggle between ideology and exploitation ideology, and it is a struggle between advanced forces and decadent forces. This struggle is long-term and comprehensive. Reformers themselves should pay the price. If we don't understand the complexity and sharpness of this struggle and are not prepared to pay the price and surrender to the old forces and the old system, the reform will be difficult to succeed.
At present, our party adapts to the requirements of historical development and the urgent desire of the people. A series of reforms are under way. The wave of reform is getting higher and higher, and the trend of reform is unstoppable. Our era is an era of change and inaction. Civilization and democracy cannot be rewarded by others, but we must strive for it. The future and happiness depend on us. It is our responsibility to get rid of the old and innovate. We are responsible for our own responsibilities, and we are responsible for our own responsibilities. I believe that the reform in China with a long history will be successful, and China will stand in the world with a brand-new look.
