论晁错的悲剧

On the Tragedy of Chao Cuo

晁错生活在西汉文、景时期,是我国历史上著名的政治思想家和杰出的改革家。为了加强中央集权,他力主"削藩",但是,他没有死于"削藩"对象的诸侯之手,反而被他一心一意维护的汉景帝所斩杀,死的时候自己还不明白原委,令人扼腕。他一生机敏睿智、勇于革新,冷峻耿直又一心为国,但也恰恰是这些性格特点决定了他的人生悲剧。

Chao Cuo lived during Wen and Jing Period of the Han Dynasty, and a famous pohfical thinker and outstanding innovator. To strengthen the centralization system, he insisted on reduction of seignior power. But he was killed not by those seigniors but by Emperor Jing, not knowing the reason for his death. He was quick-witted, brave in reform and devoted to his country, which might be the reason for his tragedy.
