The essence of the policy .stressing on the legality and loving the people and getting the trust from the people, had been the development of Qin's political tradition since the regime's founding, while the idea of destiny was the deepest-rooted motivation. The prevailing issue that Qin resorted only to the school of legalism and rejected all the other schools has not held the essence of Qin's government.
