The Official History of Qin Shihuang Deceiving Confucianism

First of all, take a look at the records in Historical Records of Qin Shihuang. After Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, many alchemists specializing in astrology, immortals, sexual intercourse, witch doctors and divination gathered around him. Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng were two of them, and Qin Shihuang sent two people to find the elixir of life. As we all know, there is no so-called panacea in the world, and it is naturally hard to find terrestrial and Housheng. According to the law of the Qin dynasty, people who don't get the fairy medicine will be put to death. Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, with the huge sum of money given by Qin Shihuang, hid the mountain and spread many bad words about Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang was furious after hearing this: "I used to collect all the useless books in the world." There are many literary alchemists who want to promote peace and prosperity, and alchemists want to practice magical drugs. Today, I heard that Han Zhong didn't report it, and Xu Shi and other expenses were tens of thousands. In the end, I couldn't get the medicine, but I told the Japanese about the profit from rape. Lu Sheng and others have been very kind to me, but now they slander me, which is not good for Jyuugo. Born in Xianyang, I let people ask questions, or pass them on. So he took it out on Fang and other magicians and ordered people to search and interrogate in Beijing. "。 The alchemists exposed each other, and all 460 people involved were buried alive. "More than 460 people violated the ban, all in Xianyang, to let the world know and let the world punish. "Historical Records Biography of the Scholars" also records: "By the end of Qin Dynasty, all six arts were lost. "The Scholars" written by Han Ban Gu records: "When Qin Shihuang was the master of the world, he burned poetry books and killed warlocks, and six studies were lacking. "It's also about Qin Shihuang killing warlocks.

The above should be the most authoritative record about this matter. In Historical Records, Sima Qian did not mention the word "cheat Confucianism", but used "philosophers" instead of "Confucian scholars". Qin Shihuang cheated alchemists who started out by deceiving others, not learned Confucian scholars. According to historical data, from Sima Qian to Ban Gu, Qin Shihuang never put forward the idea of killing Confucian scholars.
