In the last years of the Warring States period, the heroes rose together, and the world was in chaos. And in this era full of changes and opportunities, a patriotic Puyang man, who is both an outstanding businessman and an outstanding politician, his life is like a legend, he is Lü Buwei.
Lü Buwei, who was diligent and inquisitive when he was young, was determined to engage in business and did business in Yangzhai. In this bustling city, he traveled to various countries to do business, amassed wealth step by step, and eventually became a wealthy man. However, chance and fate are always distorted, and Lü Buwei met a foreign proton in Handan, Zhao State, and this encounter changed the trajectory of his life.
Lü Buwei saw the value of the Yiren, and by spending a huge amount of money to lobby Qin Zhao, he successfully brought the Yiren back to Qin, changed his name to Zichu, and became the prince's favorite minister. After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, Lü Buwei was promoted to Xiangbang, with 100,000 households, and became a powerful minister.
Lü Buwei's glorious moment in phase witnessed the gradual rise of the Qin state from a weak country to a powerful overlord. He recruited scholars from the world and presided over the compilation of "Lü's Spring and Autumn". This work is not only a political classic, but also a cultural masterpiece that brings together the strengths of various families. With an open-minded attitude, Lü Buwei solicited opinions from a wide range of people, which made Lü's Spring and Autumn Season achieve unprecedented prestige in the cultural circles at that time.
The famous sayings left in Lü's Spring and Autumn have become classics for posterity to ponder:
"Those who want to win must first win themselves, those who want to judge others must first judge themselves, and those who want to know others must first know themselves. "It is better to get ten good horses, than to get one; If you get ten good swords, it is better to get one Ouye; It is better to get a saint than to get a thousand miles of land. "If you look at yourself, you can know others, and if you look at the present, you can know the past." "Fairness comes from justice, justice comes from Taoism. "If you can do nothing, you can make everyone do it." ”These words of wisdom have been passed down through the ages and have become a valuable asset for future generations to think about life and the way of life.
However, Lü Buwei was not flawless. He was a businessman with a talent for business, but he left a stain on the history books because of his lack of virtue. Despite his business acumen, political savvy and cultural prowess, his life was not an easy one. In the politically disputed Qin State, he was finally forced to move to Shu due to the struggle of power, and since then he has lost both fame and fortune.
As the Qin king matured, Lü Buwei's power gradually waned. Eventually, he was moved to Shu after the reign of the King of Qin, and died in a foreign land. In Shudi, Lü Buwei may have reflected on his life and had a deeper understanding of temporary gains and losses.
Lü Buwei, a business tycoon, politician, and cultural envoy in the last years of the Warring States Period, his life is as brilliant as a legend. His wisdom in business, his political shrewdness, and his contributions to culture made him one of the most prominent figures of his time. However, his life was also full of twists and turns and regrets, and finally ushered in the end of his life in a foreign country. The story of Lü Buwei is a picture scroll of the intertwined lives of business wizards, political elites, and cultural masters, and it will always shine with his unique light in the corridor of history.
