韩王安 / Han An

韩王安 / Han An first appears in the wiki as the successor to 韩桓惠王 in 《资治通鉴·秦纪》107|最后一次合纵伐秦 伐了个寂寞, where the notice is part of the late-Warring-States sequence after the failed final 合纵 campaign.

《资治通鉴·秦纪》112-2|秦始皇也是他的书迷? makes him consequential through 韩非. The episode presents Han as the weakest surviving major state and says Han Fei repeatedly advises Han An to adopt Legalist reform and strengthen the state, but Han An does not accept the advice. When 嬴政 / 秦始皇 prepares to attack Han first, Han An sends Han Fei as envoy to 秦国.

The page is source-scoped. Han An’s wiki role here is not a full reign biography; it is the ruler position that makes Han Fei’s failure inside Han visible. Han Fei’s writing can reach Ying Zheng, but it cannot first make his own ruler act.

《资治通鉴·秦纪》113|李牧如何用一己之力阻秦国统一 closes Han An’s state branch. In the source’s 230 BCE notice, 秦国 attacks 韩国, captures Han An, and turns old Han territory into Yingchuan commandery. Han An now anchors the first completed state-destruction step in Ying Zheng’s unification sequence, after the earlier sources showed him ignoring Han Fei and sending him into Qin’s court.

《资治通鉴·秦纪》120-1|谁是皇帝中的妈宝男? reuses Han An’s fall inside Qin’s post-unification explanation. In that source, Qin narrates Han as first submitting and then breaking faith by connecting with Zhao, making the Han campaign appear as justified punishment. This is recorded as 兼并自卫叙事, not as a new independent account of Han An’s policy.
