everything flows

The drama "Rome" captures the transition from the republic to the monarchy in the Roman political system to start the narrative. After reading it, there are two feelings:
1. Everything flows, and when the social foundation undergoes major changes, the upper-level organizational form must also undergo corresponding reforms. Those who see and adapt to the changes of the times can win the future.
2. History is created by the people. We must always look at and solve problems from the standpoint of the people. All coups and conspirators who seek personal gain in the chaos will be ruthlessly trampled underfoot by history.
