Why did Han rewrite the teaching of Confucius?

Han Fei believed that the teachings of Confucius were idealistic and not practical for governing a state effectively. He rewrote Confucian teachings to emphasize strict laws, regulations, and centralized power as the key elements for maintaining social order and stability. Han Fei's goal was to create a system that prioritized control and punishment to ensure obedience rather than focusing on moral cultivation as Confucius did.
