Classical Chinese, translation.

Historians' books and records were not the history of Qin, so they were burned. Doctoral positions are not needed. Anyone who dares to collect hundreds of books in the world will be sent to the prefect to burn them. Those who dare to exchange poems and books privately will be sentenced to abandon the market. People who thought that ancient times were better than today were extinct. An official who fails to report information is sentenced to the same crime as a prisoner. Those who do not burn books within 30 days after the promulgation of the law will be hanged and used as city-building workers. Books that will not be withdrawn, books on medicine, divination and planting. If you want to study law, take an official as a teacher.
