As the summariser of the Zhou-Qin transition,Han Feizi laid the foundation of political theory in the historical process of the gradual destruction of multiple powers and the gradual formation of a single sovereignty.Han Feizi con-structed the Son of Heaven as the pinnacle of politics,and at the same time dissolved the Son of Heaven as a special individual from the three levels of power struggle,the Way of the Sage,and the governance structure.While considering the"position of the Son of Heaven"as the centralisation of politics,the Son of Heaven itself became the tool of the centralisation of politics.From this point of view,it not only explains the rationality of the institutional constraints on imperial power,but also opens up theoretical space for scholarly politics and the order of rituals and laws after the Qin and Han dynasties.
