法与时转则治

法度能随着时代发展而变化，国家才能繁荣安定。韩非子认为，历史阶段不同，治国方法也应不同，法律只有顺应时代发展才能使国家得到有效治理。

Prosperity and stability can be expected in a state when the laws keep pace with the times. Hanfeizi holds that the strategy of ruling shall be suited to the specific historical stage，and effective governance can be achieved when the laws are in line with the developmental trends of the times.

◎ 法与时转则治，治与世宜则有功。（《韩非子·心度》）

（法度能随着时代的发展而进行变革，国家就能治理好；治理的措施和社会情况相适应，才能取得成效。）

If laws are adapted to the times，there will be good government. If government fits the age，there will be great accomplishment. (Hanfeizi)
