Was Qin Shihuang's tyranny planted by later generations?

An iron horse from Qin invaded the capital of Qi. With the collapse of the capital of Qi State, it declared the end of the unification war ten years after Ying Zheng annexed six countries. As the final winner of this war, Qin became the only master in the world.

With the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng was not as happy as we thought. Because Qin Shihuang had such a vast territory for the first time, it was the governance and development under this vast land that became the biggest test after Ying Zheng unified the whole country.

The establishment of Qin law actually gave farmers greater benefits! In order to further consolidate the regime of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang ordered the unification of laws and spread them to all parts of the world through local officials.

In the eyes of most people, Qin law must be synonymous with Qin Shihuang's tyranny, but is this really the case?

According to Qin bamboo slips, Qin law attaches great importance to details, and there are strict rules on the behavior and daily life of courtiers and people all over the world. Although these Qin laws are rigorous, they are not tyrannical. The original intention of Qin Shihuang's promulgation of Qin Law was actually to maintain the normal operation of the country and protect the lives of the people all over the world.

Since then, the establishment of the Qin Law has enabled all the people in the world to own their own land, not to belong to every doctor. Just like this, it opens a door of hope for people who have no land in the world.

What's more, the knowledge level of the people in the Qin Dynasty was limited at that time. Qin Shihuang gave them a guidance in the form of Qin law, telling the people what to plant and how deep to dig, which was undoubtedly a kind of welfare for the people.

These are the tangible benefits that Qin Law has brought to people all over the world, but people often fail to see this aspect and pay attention to the strictness of Qin Law. I don't know that the establishment of those criminal laws is actually to bring a more peaceful and stable living environment to the world. The fact that the Prince and Shu Ren broke the law shows that Qin Shihuang treated the people fairly. The original intention of all this is to hope that people of all countries can better integrate into the new country? In the Qin dynasty, I lived and worked in peace and contentment under the great environment of the Qin dynasty.

The chaos is also soft! At the end of 22 1 BC, Ying Zheng's New Deal was promulgated soon.

A bandit rebellion occurred in Cangwu County, Nanjun County, and the county magistrate immediately sent a new army to counter the rebellion. However, these troops also defected in the battle. Qin Shihuang also had to send Qin Jun to leave Guanzhong. After three battles, the rebellion was put down. However, Qin Shihuang did not retaliate against these traitors, and the officials who committed the crime only sentenced them to tattoos.

Qin Shihuang knew that his subjects had not fully recognized the new country from the heart, and severe repression would only be counterproductive. They need time to integrate all this.

The preservation of the culture of the six countries also reflects Qin Shihuang's combination of rigidity and softness! Qin, which rose in the border of western Shu, was once discriminated against by the Central Plains countries because of its barbarism and backwardness. However, where did it come from? Barbarians? However, he made a feat that had to be admired.

At the end of the Warring States period, Qilu culture with Confucian etiquette as the core has been formed in the eastern countries. Influenced by nomadic people in the north, it has also produced a rough and heroic Yanzhao culture and a romantic and unrestrained Chu culture that advocates witches and ghosts in the south.

When Qin Shihuang's consciousness and culture are the basis of unifying people's hearts, there are two choices before him. First, relying on the authority of the emperor, force completely destroyed the cultural foundation of the six countries; The second is to accept the oriental culture and develop the unique cultural system of Qin. At this time, the pragmatic character of Qin people was vividly reflected in Qin Shihuang. He did not shy away from the cultural differences between Qin and the six countries. Qin Shihuang accepted the cultures of the six countries in a very gentle way and gave them full respect.

According to Sima Qian's historical records, it was 22 BC1year. Qin Shihuang accepted all the etiquette of the six countries and established a system called doctor. However, doctors in the Qin Dynasty were different from scholars in the Warring States Period. They are not only responsible for academic research, but also have the responsibility to participate in deliberations, discuss major national decisions, and even evaluate the performance of ministers. Doctors also have the right to make suggestions.

Qin Shihuang gave the six major cultures the greatest tolerance and absorption with an almost humble attitude. In order to win the favor of these scholars, Qin Shihuang also changed the legalist principle that Qin always adhered to. As for why, there is only one reason, that is, I hope that the world will submit, the country will be peaceful, and the people will be safe!

Qin Shihuang's burning books and burying Confucianism is not what we thought! Book Burning In 2 13 BC, in order to consolidate the rule of Daqin and further restrict the people's thoughts, he ordered the burning of poetry books nationwide.

The books that Qin Shihuang ordered to be burned were all folk books, except Qin history books, medical books, divination and agricultural classics. All other books were handed in and kept in the National Library, so there was no loss of a large number of ancient literature books. Moreover, the culprit of burning books is actually not Qin Shihuang. The culprit should be Xiang Yu who set fire to the library of Qin Dynasty, but in the eyes of later generations, poor Qin Shihuang became the scapegoat of Xiang Yu!

Pit Confucianism and bury Qin Shihuang alive? Forbidden people? For more than 460 people, cheating? It's not Confucian scholars who really trap and kill, but Taoist magicians in some places.

It seems really inhuman, but Zhao's 400,000 troops buried alive in Changping are dwarfed by nature. For some car cracks and other torture at that time in the Qin Dynasty, buried alive can also be regarded as right, right? Forbidden people? A kind of welfare.

Summary: Qin Shihuang's efforts for the consolidation and development of the Qin Dynasty have never been recognized by the six countries, nor have they broken the inner traditions of the people of the six countries. They always want to restore their old country.

Qin Shihuang's abolition of the enfeoffment system also brought great resentment to the scholars in the six eastern countries. As a pioneer of the times, his great contribution and policy appeasement will definitely be ignored in the eyes of some people.

Is it really all Ying Zheng's fault?
