Only books such as planting trees, medicine and divination are left behind. If people want to learn laws and regulations, they must learn from officials.

B. Outcome:
Therefore, more than 460 literary alchemists were killed in Xianyang.
Second, leave only medical books?
A: Not only medicine, but books on medicine, divination and planting trees are not burned.
Analysis:
Qin Shihuang himself was superstitious and deceived Confucianism by sending alchemists to the sea to seek pills and immortals, which caused criticism. "Medicine and divination" are all related to this. Qin Shihuang naturally won't burn. As for "planting trees", that's because "Tree Planting Book" refers to books on agriculture, which is the lifeblood of imperial production and economy, and Qin Shihuang naturally won't burn them.
In 22 1 year BC, the first unified autocratic dynasty in China was established. At that time, hundreds of schools of thought contended in society, which seriously hindered Qin Shihuang's thought of unifying the people of six countries and threatened the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
In 2 13 BC, Li si, the prime minister of Qin dynasty, advised a hundred schools of thought to "speak insincerely at the time, talk big from the time, boast that the Lord thinks fame is high, regard differences as high, and lead the group to slander." 」
Therefore, in order to unify the thoughts of the people of the original six countries, Qin Shihuang began to destroy all the works contending except the legalists in that year until the demise of the Qin Dynasty in 206 BC, which was called "book burning"
(Historical Records Volume 6 Biography of Qin Shihuang: I asked historians to burn all the records of the Qin Dynasty. If you are not a doctor, people in the world who dare to collect poems, books and hundreds of languages will burn them. Some people who dare to speak "poetry" and "books" abandon the market. Think of the past as a family that is not the present. Those who don't mention it when they see it commit the same crime. If it doesn't burn for the next 30 days, it will be a city. Don't go, books such as medicine, divination and tree planting. If you want to study law, you should take an official as your teacher. )。
In the second year after the book burning began, that is, 2 12 BC, Qin Shihuang killed more than 460 Confucian scholars and alchemists in Xianyang, Qin Dou at that time, in order to further repel different political ideas and opinions, which was known as "pit Confucianism" in history.
On the other hand, Qin Shihuang tried to find the medicine of immortality, and sent alchemists such as Xu Fu, Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng to seek immortality and medicine.
However, Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng were dissatisfied with Qin Shihuang's ruling style and fled privately (there are also historical records that Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng fled after years of unsuccessful drug search), which led to Qin Shihuang's great anger and ordered more than 400 scholars in Xianyang to be tortured and searched for Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng. After that, 460 scholars were buried by huge stones.
