世异事异
时代不同而处事之法各异。出自《韩非子·五蠹》。韩非子认为,随着时间的推移,社会情形发生了各种变化。处事之法也应根据新的情况做出相应调整,而不能简单地去模仿历史上的做法。法家之士多持有类似的思想观念。“世异事异”之说构成了变法维新的重要依据。
When Times Change, So Do Social Conditions
This means adapting one's approach to changing conditions. The saying is from the chapter "The Five Vermin" in Hanfeizi. According to this work, many changes in social conditions occur in response to changing times, and people should adjust their approaches accordingly to keep up with new developments instead of just following past practices. Most scholars of the Legalist School held similar views. This argument was a source of inspiration for those who pursue reform and modernization endeavors.
