National governance is the latest concept of governing the country put forward by our party.Study Han Feizi’s thought of governance ethics,analyze,summarize and summarize the formation conditions and main contents of his thought of governance ethics,and on this basis,objectively and fairly evaluate his thought of governance ethics,and analyze the rationality and limitations of his thought,so as to provide some ideological reference for the construction of Contemporary national governance in China.Any kind of thought is not produced out of thin air.The formation and development of Han Feizi’s ethical thought of governing the country has its objective factors.From the background of the times,the formation of Han Feizi’s ethical thought of governing the country mainly stems from the political turmoil in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period,the disintegration of the economic minefield system and the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the ideological field.From the perspective of ideological origin,the formation of Han Feizi’s ethical thought of governing the country originates from the inheritance and development of Legalist ethical thought in the early stage.From the perspective of theoretical basis,Han Feizi’s ethical thought of governing the country is mainly based on his theory of human nature,the social and historical view of "ancient and modern customs" and the methodology of "things are different when things are different".The basic content of Han Feizi’s ethical thought of governing the country includes three aspects.First of all,it is the value concept of "following the law for morality" governance ethics.Han Feizi’s ethical value concept of "following the law for morality" takes "people’s safety" as the value goal,takes "national governance" as the value core,and takes "increasing the power of Majesty" as its value premise.Secondly,in order to ensure the realization of his political and ethical values,Han Feizi constructed the institutional ethics of the combination of "magic power".Han Feizi determined the political system ethics principle of "law rather than morality",took the combination of magic power as the operation guarantee of his political system ethics,and took the unity of "punishment and reward" and "reputation" as the operation way of his political system ethics.Third,the achievement of governance effect is not only related to the establishment of national political values and the ethical construction of governance political system,but also related to the formation of the ethical quality of the subject of national governance.Han Feizi put forward certain ethical requirements for the political subject of national governance.Han Feizi proposed that the ruler and monarch with the highest power should rule by "Inaction",eliminate greed,be clear-minded and less lustful,and do not overuse spirit.As a minister assisting the monarch in governing the country,he should be loyal to the monarch and should not have two hearts.Han Feizi put forward the moral requirement of "justice" for magicians.Han Feizi’s ethical thought of governing the country contains important elements of value and rationality.As a master of legalist thought,Han Feizi insists on "following the law for morality",advocates conforming to human nature,emphasizing the rule of law and paying attention to the authority of law.This unique ethical thought of rule of law not only provides a steady stream of ideological resources for governing the country for future generations,but also has important enlightening significance for today’s social development.At the same time,due to the limitations of the times and individuals,Han Feizi’s ethical thought of governing the country also has obvious defects in theoretical basis and class position.His idealistic abstract theory of human nature,the inhumane position of severe punishment and cool law and the tendency to separate the relationship between law and morality should be criticized and eliminated.Studying Han Fei Zi’s ethical thought of running a country should uphold an objective and impartial attitude and uphold the position of the essence of China’s traditional culture and its dross,so as to provide useful ideas for the governance and construction of socialist countries with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
