Qin Shihuang's fault

1, strong ideological control, Qin Shihuang accepted Lisi's suggestion and issued a book burning order, stipulating that except for the government, only books such as medicine, divination and planting were collected by the people, and the rest were burned centrally. He also buried more than 400 Confucian scholars who secretly slandered him alive. This is "burning books to bury Confucianism". Burning books and burying Confucianism lost many important documents, which caused great losses to the ancient culture of China.

2. In order to show the great empire he built, he built the famous Epang Palace for him, which cost a lot of money and the internal layout was extremely luxurious.

Qin Shihuang also requisitioned 700,000 criminals and built a very large tomb of Mount Li for himself.

4. The punishment of Qin Dynasty is also harsh and cruel, because Qin Shihuang ruled the country with the legalist thought of a hundred schools of thought contending. Among them, the death penalty includes crimes such as abandoning the city, beheading, and breaking the car. Prisoners with more serious crimes will also be executed with their relatives.

5. The taxes in Qin Dynasty were very heavy, and the landlords exploited the peasants cruelly, so as to shift the tax burden on the peasants, which led to the people at the bottom living in dire straits.

After Qin Shihuang's reunification, his desire for power expanded to the point of fantasy and absurdity, which led to the killing of many loyal ministers, so he was overthrown the next year.

7. Because Qin Shihuang promoted the Legalist theory of "ruling the country according to law", later rulers in China promoted Confucianism with benevolence and the golden mean as the core. Therefore, Qin Shihuang often appears as a negative example in various essays and historical records. Such as Jia Yi's On Qin and so on.

8. Historical Records? Biography of Qin Shihuang: The king of Qin was greedy for profit, self-motivated, did not believe in heroes, did not kiss gentry, abolished kingship, established private rights, banned documents, made the law cool, raped before righteousness, and began tyranny.

9 Jia Yi's "On Qin": It is difficult for one person to fall down in seven halls, and he will die and laugh at the world. Why? Be merciless, and the offensive and defensive forces are different.

Qin Shihuang was regarded as a tyrant by many historians and would do anything for power.

The Great Wall of Wan Li, Qin Chi Road, Lingqu, Epang Palace and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor are all very large, and the population of the whole country is under construction. Many documents denounce the death and injury of many people in the construction process, but on the other hand, they have further developed the transportation in various places and contributed to the future transportation, economy and trade and the integration of all ethnic groups. Therefore, whether Qin Shihuang's achievements are great or too great has always been a point of debate in the history circle.
