Forbidden ancient poems and ancient books

This sentence comes from Liu Chongchuan, a book of the New Tang Dynasty.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zi mentioned in the seventy-third article of Guan Xu that "whoever gains a hole is invincible; Those who leave the second hole will not be defeated; Those who make three holes cannot send troops; If there are four holes, the country will die. " During the Warring States period, Shang Yang also put forward the viewpoint of "the benefit of one hole" in the Book of Shang Jun, and the only tunnel was the "agricultural war". In addition, business, entertainment and other matters are prohibited. His Shang Yang's political reform was centered on "making a hole for profit" and "driving away agriculture and returning to war". The whole society of Qin has built an "agricultural war" system, and all the people are soldiers. Finally, we can sweep the six countries and achieve reunification.

The "Confucius" in Shang Jun refers to agriculture.

Shang Yang also put forward the idea of "taking advantage of Confucius" in Shang Jun Shu. The only tunnel is the "agricultural war". In addition, business, entertainment and other matters are prohibited. His Shang Yang's political reform was centered on "making a hole for profit" and "driving away agriculture and returning to war". The whole society of Qin has built an "agricultural war" system, and all the people are soldiers. Finally, we can sweep the six countries and achieve reunification.

First, there is no freedom of thought. The Book of Shang Jun is against poetry, speech, private education, prohibiting study tours, and even puts forward the idea of "burning poetry" to control people's thoughts, with the aim of implementing the policy of ignorance. "Talking about the People" said: "The state-owned ceremony is interesting, there are poems and books, there are kindness and repair, there are filial piety and brothers, there are sincerity and arguments-ten countries have people, and they will be beheaded without fighting; If there are no ten countries, if there is war in the world, it will be prosperous to the king. " "Debate wisdom and praise chaos." From this perspective, Shang Jun holds that ideological, academic and cultural disadvantages in Qiang Bing, a rich country, may even lead to national subjugation. The reason is that Shang Jun's book holds that when people are educated, they have the ability to think. If you have the ability to think, you will question the policy, which will damage the authority and dignity of the monarch and undermine the unified political structure. Therefore, "Agricultural War" said: "Those who are for the country do not know the law, so they don't care; If people don't cheat, then the country is at war. The national strength is strong and the country is easy to talk about. "

Secondly, there is no freedom of production. The Book of Shang Jun puts forward that "there is a hole in the profit". The only tunnel is the "agricultural war". In addition, business, entertainment and other matters are prohibited. "Agricultural War" said: "Sages govern the country only for agriculture." "War of Agriculture" said: "Stop floating and learn to be immoral, and the people are in agriculture." "Agricultural War" said: "It is a wise monarch to repair politics, to abolish the useless, to stop animal science as a prostitute, and to take agriculture as a profession, then the country can be rich, but the people's power can be abolished." And the list goes on.

People who have no ideological ability can only give themselves to the monarch, and the individual belongs to the whole, and the lower level belongs to the upper level. In the whole society, there is no living individual. In addition, in social organizations, a considerable number of institutional measures have been created for this idea. "Biography of Historical Records of Shang Jun" said: "Let the people do everything and sit with the animal husbandry department. If you don't accuse the traitor of beheading, you will accuse the traitor of enjoying the reward with the enemy, and the Tibetan traitor will be punished with the enemy. " Systematically organizing all individual people into the whole political ruling system depends on the organization of officials who obey the upper level, and the freedom of the people only obeys the first order.
