To be specific, firstly, he initiated the trend of “changing” and “changing the law” inside. Secondly, he started the trend of “raising edge” and “deterrenting” foreign affairs. In the end, he was especially accorded academic and political meanings He opened the way for intellectuals to follow the realities of traditional culture and to discuss the trend of “being pleased with acting as a political theory”
