Is it true that Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng burned books and buried Confucianism?

First of all, the scholar who burned books is not the one we are familiar with. The burned books are Confucian poetry books such as Shangshu and Shijing, and poetry books of hundreds of other scholars, while practical books such as medicine, farming and divination are not destroyed. At the same time, not Confucian scholars, but alchemists, or people who play tricks. According to the unearthed cultural relics, it can be confirmed that it is true to burn books and bury Confucianism, but it is not a scholar, but an alchemist. The word Confucianism obviously refers to warlocks in its interpretation. This is because these two magicians made pills for Qin Shihuang to help him live forever, but they knew they couldn't make pills (they would die), so they resolutely ran away, but they not only ran away, but also criticized Qin Shihuang's policies and how much he wanted to live forever.

So the books were not destroyed, but a set was kept in the palace. This is equivalent to some books being banned. The real loss of these books is because Xiang Yu burned down the Forbidden City. Sima Qian's Historical Records? It was first recorded in the volume 12 1? Burning books and burying Confucianism? The event of:? At the end of Qin dynasty, there was a lack of poetry, witchcraft and six arts? . However, no? Bury Confucianism? Statement. Sima Qian made it clear that he was a pit warlock, and the books he burned were not all rural books, but all poetry books.

It was in Kong Anguo's Preface to Shangshu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty that burning books really became burying Confucianism. He said,? When Qin Shihuang destroyed Confucian classics, burned books and buried Confucianism, scholars all over the world fled. ? From then on, Qin Shihuang simply burned poems, books and pit alchemists from the beginning, which became the propaganda of later Confucianism, burning all the pre-Qin classics and pit Confucian scholars. Burning books and burying Confucianism will only burn a few books, leaving a few bookworms in a quagmire.

However, because later generations only respected Confucianism and wrote the so-called history of Confucianism, Qin Shihuang was cut off. How many so-called Confucians did the so-called Mingjun and Xingwen prisons in the Great Qing Dynasty kill? Therefore, Qin Shihuang was quite tolerant and did not break the backbone of Confucianism and turned it into a royal palace, which was also determined by the social atmosphere at that time. In fact, the ultimate goal of burning books is to unify thoughts and implement fool management. What the first emperor wanted to do was to let everyone know that he was the only one who needed praise and obedience. Of course, the first emperor at that time did nothing wrong. Of all the emperors in China, which one didn't educate fools? Who wants his dynasty to always have a voice against his rule? Therefore, as far as it is concerned, there is nothing wrong with the first emperor burning books.
