Who is burning books and burying Confucianism in China?

Burn books:

In the thirty-fourth year of Qin Shihuang (2 13 BC), Dr. Qi Chun Yu Yue opposed the "county system" implemented at that time and demanded that children be enfeoffed according to the ancient system. Li Si, the prime minister, refuted it, arguing that people should not learn from private studies and slander state affairs.

Qin Shihuang adopted Reese's suggestion, ordered the burning of historical records of other countries except Ji Qin, and also handed over and burned poems and books that did not belong to the doctor's museum within a time limit; Some people dare to talk about "poetry" and "book" executions and use the past to exterminate the nation; Private schools are forbidden, and those who want to study law should take officials as teachers. This is "burning books".

Pit Confucianism:

In the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang (2 12 BC), after alchemists Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng failed to seek immortality for Qin Shihuang, they privately discussed Qin Shihuang's life, governing the country and seeking immortality, and then fled with huge sums of money for immortality. When Qin Shihuang knew this, he was furious and took his anger out on the alchemist. He ordered a search and interrogation in the capital, arrested 460 people and buried them alive.

The negative influence of burning books and burying Confucianism;

Although it maintained the rule of the Qin dynasty, it also accelerated the demise of its regime:

Qin Shihuang burned books to bury Confucianism, aiming at maintaining unified centralized politics and further rejecting different political ideas and opinions, but it did not achieve the expected results. This is different from other measures taken by Qin Shihuang, which was unexpected by Qin Shihuang and Prime Minister Li Si.

Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the unification of Qin is the inevitable development of history and culture. The struggle between neighboring vassal States mainly revolves around the annexation of political power, hundreds of cultures are gradually unified, and the military and administration of various countries are gradually infiltrated by mainstream cultures such as Confucianism, which leads to the development of war machines being bound by culture.

Influenced by culture, such as Sun Tzu's art of war, war is a cultural change, and other changes brought about by culture make the war machine unable to exert its greatest lethality. This enabled an army unaffected by tradition to defeat the traditional army, and Qin Shihuang made good use of this from the development of Qin's war machine to its prestige.

Throughout the history of Qin's reunification, it is a drama of the game between culture and war. Culture emphasizes morality and war emphasizes lethality. In the end, it is not only the victory of the new strategic thought, but also the victory of Qin Shihuang's strategic thought of founding the country.

Burning books and burying Confucianism is only the projection of Qin Shihuang's founding thought on the road. For Ying Zheng, as a representative of the old road, the actions of Confucian scholars will undoubtedly bring danger to Daqin, and he is afraid of the softening of the country and the army. Fear of this power led Ying Zheng to define a set of strategies, which eventually accelerated the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

Muzzle people's thoughts at that time;

Although it was to strengthen ideological control, it was successful in a short time; But it was not conducive to the long-term stability of the country and the development of society, and it stifled people's thoughts at that time, which was cruel and cruel.

The struggle between the legalists of Xunzi School and Confucian orthodoxy is mainly manifested in the struggle between centralization (landlord politics) and vassal enfeoffment (Lord politics), and finally the great rupture of burning books and burying Confucianism broke out.

When it was first incorporated into the world in 22 1 a.d., ministers headed by Prime Minister Wang Wan advocated enfeoffment of the Prince of Yanqi Elementary School, which was far away from Qin, and independent Tingwei Lisi opposed enfeoffment. Qin Shihuang decided to implement the county system from Li Siyi. In the first 2 12 years, Qin Shihuang held a grand banquet, and all his ministers and doctors suggested that Chun Yuyue should learn ancient methods and make the hero of the prince a vassal.

Li Si, the prime minister, denounced Confucian scholars for learning from the past but not from the present, respecting private studies, slandering state affairs and confusing people's hearts. He suggested banning private study. The solution is to burn all the history books of other countries except the Qin history books hidden by historians. In addition to the books collected by doctoral officers, all Confucian classics and books of various schools in private collections were sent to the government for burning. If you don't send your private books to the government within the next 30 days, you will be fined to build the Great Wall for four years.

People who get together to talk about poetry and books are beheaded, which is genocide. Only medicine, divination and agricultural books can't help it. Folklore takes officials as teachers. Qin Shihuang began to burn calligraphy in Li Siyi.

2 1 1 years ago, the alchemist begged the gods not to slander the first emperor. Later, he absconded for fear of sin. Qin Shihuang was furious. After exploring Xianyang, he buried over 460 magicians alive. It is the right time for Li Si to advocate centralization, but the Confucianism represented by him (merging with Han Fei Legalists) is a political thought that extremely suppresses the people.

Wang Wan and Chun advocated enfeoffment of princes. From the beginning of enfeoffment, the scholars in the Zhou Dynasty were constantly in war and the people were in dire straits. Until the last feudal dynasty, they still told us that their views were extremely wrong because of the lessons of the civil war after enfeoffment. The Confucian orthodoxy represented by them (including the yin-yang family and the immortal family) stresses benevolence and righteousness, but the early Qin Dynasty was still in troubled times and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms were still there. How can we govern the country only by benevolence and righteousness?

"Burning books to bury Confucianism", an almost certainly fabricated event, became the evidence of Qin Shihuang's cruelty and was reviled by scholars all over the world for more than 2,000 years. I wish he could not dig graves and whip corpses. It can be said that offending literati, especially those who later gained authority, is really a terrible thing. They almost succeeded in bringing down an immortal emperor in the world.
