In theory,both advocate in accordance with the principle of "dao" for political activities,"dao" is theobjective law exists in nature, for politicians in the way and do it.Next, Huang Lao Bo Shu and Huai Nan Zi all the way to Lao Zi of the correspondingreform. In Lao Zi of the ways of basis, Huang Lao Bo Shu emphasized the importance of"heavenly", and Huai Nan Zi follow in a more prominent " the rules " is of great importance.Last, Huang Lao Bo Shu and Huai Nan Zi in political thought that the common main isto require that the ruler have to "quiet unreal, torture and virtue", assigned to specific policyrequests the rulers to "tax relief, use of punishment carefully", ensure the citizens basic lifeneeds, and do not too much intervention of people’s economic activities, especially theagricultural production.Huang Lao Bo Shu and Huai Nan Zi existence lots of the same places, but there aremany subtle differences.The first, the understanding of the so-called "dao" is different between Huang Lao BoShu and Huai Nan Zi. Huang Lao Bo Shu speaks of "dao" refers to statecraft, and itsrelationship with the political rule are more closely, and the relationship between the humansociety more closely. In contrast, the heaven is more close to nature and philosophy. But HuaiNan Zi be more attention focused on the human society and political rule itself."nature" to theinfluence of Huang Lao Bo Shu is bigger, and Huai Nan Zi more will focus on its eyes on thepolitical rule itself, through summing up history to explore the rise and fall of political rule.The second, Huang Lao Bo Shu and Huai Nan Zi also have different understanding onspecific practice. Huang Lao Bo Shu is more emphasis on the importance of respecting theobjective law, the specific way is to use of forms, the monarch by members of forms is societyeach Ann its points, not crossing the line, in order to control the princes, the maintenance rule;Huai Nan Zi although also emphasizes respect for objective law, however, pay more attention to the unity of the subjective and objective, specific to the political ruler is on the basis ofrespecting the objective law, should actively, such as not harsh, but to take all measures toachieve good governance. So, Huai Nan Zi doing nothing more than "a silk book of HuangLao Bo Shu, stressed people as a positive.Because of the different age, Huang Lao Bo Shu and Huai Nan Zi are also different in.inaction thought to the impact of the early former Han Dynasty political rule.To the period of Emperor Wu of Han, the national power is stronger, the emperor had amaterial base to exert his own political ambitions.

Combined with King of Huai Nan Liu An under thedrive of power in the emperor finally break, for conspiracy to commit suicide in the end. HuaiNan Zi in politics and not to practice, and only King of Huai Nan and emperor for publicopinion and thought control tool, and as King of Huai Nan die, the book in the position in thewestern han dynasty political rule are more thin. In spite of this, in the early former HanDynasty, Huai Nan Zi learn many of the works of Huang Lao still occupies the importantposition, it is the knowledge of the early former Han Dynasty system discussed the situationof song. |
