The incident of burning books and burying Confucianism was Qin Shihuang's cruel suppression of dissidents in the ideological field. 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. However, there is a conservative doctor named Chun Yuyue and Qi Guoren. He criticized Zhou as an apple polisher on the spot. He said, "King Yin Zhou is over a thousand years old. Set up a county, saying that the minister usurped power and there was no way to save himself. He also sarcastically said: "It is not unheard of for people who can live for a long time without drawing lessons from the past. Li Si, the prime minister, retorted on the spot, accusing Chun of being a "foolish Confucian" and accusing Confucian scholars of "learning from the past but not learning from the present, confusing the leaders of Guizhou", and "if you enter, you will be insincere, but if you leave, you will discuss it". "(2) Except for doctors' collection, all poems, books and books in hundreds of languages are collected in the county and burned under the supervision of county magistrate and commandant; (3) Those who talk about "poetry" and "books" abandon the city, take the ancient as their home, and those who don't mention it are guilty of the same crime, so that they will not burn for the next 30 days and be regarded as the city; (4) Books such as medicine, divination and tree planting are not prohibited; (5) Anyone who studies statutes should learn from the rulers. Qin Shihuang approved this proposal, so book burning happened all over the country. The following year, there was another incident of cheating Confucianism. The reason is that some Confucian scholars and alchemists are dissatisfied with the first emperor, saying that he is a "full-time jailer", willing to kill people with punishment, "greedy for power" and so on. Qin Shihuang thought they were "or evil words" and made a fuss. "They were all killed in Xianyang. Burning books and burying Confucianism was Qin Shihuang's action to suppress political enemies. These people are conservative in political thought, yearning for the system of the Western Zhou Dynasty and opposing the current autocratic centralization. However, Qin Shihuang's repression was brutal and cruel, and no matter what the circumstances, it was an atrocity of burning, killing and looting. This is a serious damage to the ancient culture of China. There has been a great controversy in the field of history about burying Confucianism. Because the official history such as Historical Records, Hanshu and Tong Jian all refer to "butcher", "pit warlock" and "pit warlock" instead of "pit Confucianism", the theory of "pit Confucianism" began in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and is more common in unofficial history. Official history is rarely recorded. Moreover, it is said that the descendants of Confucius told the warlock who was executed at that time when they were in Confucianism. Wang Chong in the Han Dynasty said, "Although Qin has no way, it does not burn the philosophers.". Wang Chong is the most resolute person who opposes Qin Shihuang, and his words are highly credible. In addition, according to recent archaeological discoveries, most of the Confucian classics handed down to this day were written during the Qin Shihuang period (such as Shangshu). Moreover, the ban on books only prohibits people from collecting books privately, not scholars (according to records, Qin Ting was a full-time scholar at that time). They could all collect books, and according to the education level at that time, they basically included the main intellectuals at that time). Judging from the legal provisions at that time, it was mainly to ban unified thinking, not books. Because of this, although there were many scholars who entered the DPRK as officials in the early Han Dynasty, almost no one mentioned the matter of burning books. It can be seen that people did not have much opposition to burning books at that time, but later, in order to cater to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, people
