Recently, I happened to read some articles criticizing Shang Ying. The article says that the thousands of years of dark rule that our nation has experienced are all theories provided by Shang Ying's book "The Book of Shang Jun". It also discusses the evil and influence of the theory of Shangjun from the theory of one people and the theory of victory in the Book of Shang Jun as examples. I admire the author's courage and appreciate the author's academic spirit. But the content of the article is worth discussing from all walks of life.
First of all, both the Book of Shang Jun and the Shang Dynasty are products of that era. Some of the practices of the time could not be measured by the eyes of modern people. For example, women's foot binding in the Qing Dynasty was fashionable at that time, if you dare to travel back to that era to scold women for binding their feet, it is estimated that if the man does not beat you to death, he will have to be scratched to death by the women of that era. Therefore, some of us should not be fed and sufficien, and bring a large number of special approvals from thousands of years ago. If you have that time, it is better to study the wisdom of the ancients and the precious wealth left to us by the ancients. Let me say, I think Shang Ying and "Shang Jun Shu" are both great, but the shallow people can't understand it.
First of all, let's talk about Shang Marting. I think Shang Yang is a great management scientist, and he is involved in the management of a country that is more complex and difficult to run than any company. He went from being an airborne employee to an operator in this country, step by step, with his own wisdom. Why?
First of all, the first hurdle he went through was the interview, everyone has heard the story of Shang Ying's third meeting with Qin Xiaogong, right? Through the interview, he not only understood Qin Xiaogong's needs and obtained Qin Xiaogong's approval, but also found an opportunity to display his ambitions.
Secondly, he can keenly analyze: in order to finally win in the environment of chaotic war among princes, the most important thing is to be strong in the country, and to be strong in the country, we must be rich in the country and strong in the army. We have grasped this key point to solve a series of problems that affect the wealth of the country and the strength of the army one by one. Measures to solve these problems should be fixed and implemented in the form of legal provisions.
Although there were some twists and turns in the implementation process, in the end, Shang Ying also lost his life because of the offending of the law change and the death of Qin Xiaogong. But in the end, the change was successful. In the end, the Qin State changed from a weak country despised by the princes to a strong Qin that was feared by all countries. The people also lived a life of "the road is not forgotten, there are no thieves in the mountains, the family is sufficient, the people are brave in public war, cowardly in private fighting, and the countryside is governed." "Historical Records" contains "life. Those who criticize Shang Ying, who among you can have such a ability except to slander?
Finally, a brief word about the Book of Shang Jun. The Book of Shang Jun is a record of the theoretical basis and practical operation of the Shang Dynasty reform. For us modern people, it is a proper management textbook. It is well documented from theory to practice. It is a rare management classic for our managers who are engaged in enterprise management. I hope that those who are interested in working in management will study it.
