Jia Yi (200 BC ~ 65438 BC+068 BC), a native of Luoyang (now Luoyang City, Henan Province), was a famous political commentator and writer in the early Western Han Dynasty and was called Jia Sheng. Jia Yi is a rare talent. At the age of eighteen, he was considered a good writer in the county.
Wendi was a doctor at that time, and later moved to be a doctor in Taizhong. He was pushed out by ministers Zhou Bo and Guan Ying and was promoted to be the teacher of King Changsha, so later generations also called Jia Changsha and Jia Taifu. Three years later, he was recalled to Chang 'an to be the teacher of Liang Huaiwang. Liang fell off his horse and died. Jia Yi felt deeply guilty and died of depression. He is only 33 years old.

Material thinking
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Confucian scholars Lu Jia and Shu put forward the idea of governing the country with Confucianism on the basis of summing up the lessons of Qin's death, but they did not put it into political practice. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Jia Yi broke through the shackles of Taoism and the study of Huang Lao when Wendi was in power, pushed Confucianism to the political front, and formulated a political blueprint of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom, which was valued by Wendi and left a far-reaching influence in history.
Jia Yi believes that Qin's death lies in "benevolence and righteousness are not applied". To make the Han dynasty long-term stability, we must be benevolent. At the same time, Jia Yi's view of benevolence and righteousness has a strong people-oriented color. Jia Yi saw the vital role played by the people in the rise and fall of the country from the prosperity and demise of Qin State.
Based on this people-oriented thought, Jia Yi believes that the main content of benevolent government is to love the people. "Those who love the people will be attached." Only by benefiting the people and making money with the people can we get the support of the people. The basic content of Jia Yi's political thought is the benevolent political thought of loving the people. ?
