Kniga pravitelia oblasti Shan - Shan Ian

The "Book of the Ruler of the Shan Region" is one of the most significant monuments of the social and political thought of ancient China. It outlines the teachings of Shang Jan (IV BC), the founder of the School of Legislators, which championed the oppressive form of government. The teachings of Shang Yan, perceived by Confucians from the 3rd century BC to the 3rd century AD, contributed to the transformation of Confucianism into a state ideology, had a huge impact on the further development of The Law and Legal Theories of China and still remains relevant to China's modern policy. This edition includes the text "The Books of the Ruler of the Shan Region" in the translation of the outstanding Chinese scholar, "Moscow Confucius" by Leonard Peretriov, who also provided the text with a rich scientific commentary, introductory article and afterword.
