韩非、李斯是周秦之际的士人代表,他们的政治抉择与人生悲剧,其实代表了当时一部分士人的共同命运。二人背叛自己的宗国,为秦灭六国出谋划策,当然有气节、道义上的问题,但却是当时社会政治背景下士人人性本能的自然反映。“畏死患失”是造成他们人生悲剧的根源。这种思想大致可以反映周秦之际的士人心态,当时文学思想的变化也与此密切相关。 Han Fei and Lisi were representatives of scholars during the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. Their political choices and tragedies in life actually represented the common destiny of some scholars at the time. The two betrayed their own kingdoms and offered advice and counsel to the Qin and Six Nations. Of course, they had the moral integrity and moral problems, but they were naturally reflected in the human nature instincts of the scholars under the social and political background. “Fear of suffering ” is the root cause of their tragedies in life. This thought can generally reflect the mentality of scholars during the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. At the same time, the change of literary thought was also closely related to this.
