What are the disasters of civilization in the history of China and what have they experienced?

Chinese civilization has lasted for five thousand years, which is something we are very proud of. Although China is still a developing country at present, the once prosperous civilization has given us enough confidence to face the challenges in the future. But we also know that there are some very painful historical marks behind these powerful and extremely proud cultures. The development of civilization has never been smooth sailing, and it is bound to experience many setbacks and even disasters. It's just that not all countries and regions' civilizations can go through thousands of years like Chinese civilization.

In the history of our country, there have been some tragic civilization disasters, which have caused serious trauma to our civilization. For example, burning books and burying Confucianism during the Qin Shihuang period is one of these typical examples. At that time, in order to carry forward the Legalist thought of governing the country and consolidate its unified dynasty, the Qin Dynasty eliminated Confucianism and its followers. The specific way is to burn a large number of Confucian classics and turn them into ashes. Treating scholars who preach Confucianism means that scholars blindly pursue and kill them.

In addition to burning books and burying Confucianism, the familiar catastrophe of civilization is the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, imperial power reached its peak in history. In order to further consolidate his power, the emperor implemented a cruel literary inquisition. No matter who he is, if there is anything in his speech or works on weekdays that alludes to the emperor or is in power, he will be arrested and imprisoned, and in serious cases, he will be beheaded and his property confiscated. So there was no right to freedom of speech at that time, which was terrible. At the same time, literary inquisition is a kind of poison and destruction to Chinese civilization.

Although history has become a thing of the past, the scars left by these civilizations will never disappear. It will stay in our hearts forever and warn us forever. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, today we can step into such a prosperous time and enjoy the nourishment and edification of civilization. However, our ancestors spared no effort to protect and defend these achievements that condensed the wisdom of generations, and we will always remember this sacrifice. I hope we can look back on history and look forward to the future. I hope everyone will cherish all civilizations and continue to create wonderful stories of the Chinese nation.
