What is the story of burning books and burying Confucianism?

Burning books and burying Confucianism occurred in the Qin Dynasty in ancient China. 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".

In the thirty-fourth year of the first emperor (2 13 BC), Qin Shihuang gave a banquet in Xianyang Palace, and the first emperor was very happy. But there is a conservative doctor named Chun Yuyue, whose native place is Qi. He criticized Zhou's flattery on the spot. He said: "Yin Zhou Wang is over 1,000 years old and has contributed to his children and helped himself." He criticized Qin Shihuang for abolishing the enfeoffment system and setting up counties.

Said that if the minister usurped power, there was no way to save himself. He also sarcastically said: "Those who can live for a long time without learning from the past are not heard." Li Si, the prime minister, retorted on the spot. He accused Chun of being a "foolish Confucian", and also accused Confucian scholars of "learning from the past but not learning from the present, confusing the leaders of Guizhou" and "being insincere and unable to get out of the way, praising the Lord's name, taking different things as high and attracting group slander".

He thought that such a group of Confucian scholars was a dangerous force, suggested that the first emperor resolutely stop their illegal activities, and put forward the suggestion of burning books to bury Confucianism.
