5. Why do most students hate Qin Shihuang's behavior of "burning books to bury Confucianism"?

In order to strengthen ideological control, Qin Shihuang accepted Lisi's suggestion and issued a book burning order, stipulating that all books related to medicine, divination and planting collected by the people should be burned except the government. He also buried alive all the Confucian scholars who secretly slandered him. This is called "burning books to bury Confucianism". Burning books and burying Confucianism caused great losses to the ancient culture of China.

Moreover, there are many precious documents in these burned books, and all of them are Confucian scholars, that is, students, so most students hate Qin Shihuang's behavior of "burning books to resist Confucianism".
