Burning books and burying Confucianism occurred in the Qin Dynasty in ancient China. In the thirty-fourth year of Qin Shihuang (2 13 BC), Dr. Qi Chun Yu Yue opposed the "county system" implemented at that time and demanded that children be enfeoffed according to the ancient system. Li Si, the prime minister, refuted it, arguing that people should not learn from private studies and slander state affairs. Qin Shihuang adopted Reese's suggestion, ordered the burning of historical records of other countries except Ji Qin, and also handed over and burned poems and books that did not belong to the doctor's museum within a time limit; Some people dare to talk about "poetry" and "book" executions and use the past to exterminate the nation; Private schools are forbidden, and those who want to study law should take officials as teachers. This is "burning books". In the second year, Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng, two magicians (alchemists), secretly slandered Qin Shihuang and fled. When Qin Shihuang learned about this, he was furious and sent an empire to investigate. After the trial, more than 460 people violated the ban, and all of them were killed in the "book burning pit" and "pit Confucianism" sites. This is "cheating Confucianism". The two things add up to "burning books to bury Confucianism."
