李斯的“为人”与秦的兴亡

Li Si's Social Behavior and the Rise and Fall of Qin Dynasty

"为人"是指某历史人物是个什么样的人,在《史记》有不同层次的表现,其核心是指历史人物的心魂。司马迁认为历史人物特别是重要历史人物的"为人"与王朝的兴亡密切相关。在司马迁看来,李斯的"为人"可归结为视富贵为唯一,典型地代表了秦大臣中畏罪持禄的心理,这种极低的人格品位对秦兴亡的影响很大。建立在此种心理动力基础上的秦王朝,不管一时如何强大,短命是必然的。

The meaning of ＂being-what-kind-of-people＂refers to what person the historical personages are;it displays different levels in ＂Shiji＂and its core is historical personage soul.Sima Qian thought that the historical personages＇ ＂being-what-kind-of-people＂,especially the important historical personages＇,closely related with the dynasty＇s rise and fall.Looks like in Sima Qian,Li Si＇s ＂being-what-kind-of-people＂may sum up to regard the rich and honor as only and represented typically Qin dynasty＇s Ministers＇ psychology.Li Si＇s extremely low personality personal status had the huge influence to the Qin＇s rise and fall.Establishment in this kind of psychology power foundation Qin dynasty,no matter for a while how formidable,cannot be long-time finally.
