荀子社会治乱思想的逻辑起点是“治乱非天”，理论依据是人性假说。从人性的生物性为“性恶”出发，提出要“化性起伪”，其核心内容是“隆礼重法”。针对人性的社会性一面，提出要“明分使群”，其目的是建立有等级差别的封建社会制度。在荀子看来，“礼”、“法”、“分”、只是一种社会规范体系，必须由人来贯彻执行，因此人是关键因素。据此，提出了“尚贤使能”的主张。 The logical starting point of Xunzi’s social chaos thinking is “chaos and chaos non-days”, the theoretical basis is the humanity hypothesis. Starting from the biological nature of humanity as “sexual evil”, it is proposed that “the principle of chemical nature be premeditated,” and its core content is “grand ceremony”. In view of the social nature of human nature, it is proposed to “make a clear distinction between groups” with the purpose of establishing a feudal social system with different levels. In Xunzi’s view, “courtesy”, “law” and “sub-division” are just social norms and must be implemented by people. Therefore, human beings are the key factor. Accordingly, put forward the “Shang Yin enable” proposition.
