In fact, book burning did happen in history. After all, there is no smoke without fire, but this book burning did not burn all the books, nor did it have as great an impact as later generations said.
First, let's look at the purpose of burning books. The purpose of burning books was to unify the national thinking at that time. Although it played a great role in destroying the idea of imprisonment, it still played a considerable role in the feudal society that just implemented the unified system, which was conducive to better governing the military and civilians of the former six countries and ensuring the efficient operation of the country.
Secondly, look at the types of books burned. At that time, there were clear regulations on the types of books burned.
First, historians are not journalists of Qin State, that is, the six countries in Historical Records, because they are full of sarcasm in Qin State.
Second, poetry books and hundreds of languages, especially poetry books, are people in the weapons warehouse who like Yu Chunyue. Burning it is tantamount to disarming. See how you quote. As can be seen from the above two paragraphs, history books, poetry collections and history books have basically been burned. Every dynasty has a different way of writing, which is actually of little significance, but poetry is indeed the loss of the Chinese nation.
However, it should be noted that all books, including burned books, are backed up in the imperial palace of the Qin Dynasty, so books will always exist until the demise of the Qin Dynasty. Where have these books gone? They were not burned to death by the Qin Dynasty. Do you remember Mr. Xiang Yu entering Xianyang? He set fire to Qin Gong and ruined everything.
You will also be fined if you don't hand in the book. For those who refuse to hand over their books, the law of the State of Qin is to tattoo their faces and then exile them to a slender fault. It can be said that this is not a matter of the Qin dynasty, where legalism prevailed.
To sum up the problem of burning books, first, it has little impact. After all, there are backups, and then it is far less serious than what later generations said. Now it seems that the dynasties after the Qin Dynasty stopped burning books, and many books were lost. These books are nothing compared with the Sikuquanshu revised by the Qing Dynasty. After all, if these books stay, the Qing Dynasty may not revise them for you.
