摘要:The purpose of this article is to make an objective and comprehensive evaluation of Shang Yang’s reform. Shang Yang’s reform mainly included the supremacy of the monarchy, the rule of law, and the harsh criminal law. By comparing the positive and negative effects of Shangyang Reform, the following conclusions can be drawn: Reform is a good way to solve social problems. Each reform is proposed for the current social problems. They are forward-looking, but they can not accurately predict future changes. Therefore, no reform will be completely successful without defects, and no reform achievements will never die in the long river of history. Only when we constantly study history and learn from experience can we not be submerged by the torrent of the times.
