Forget about the library. Let's talk about books. ....
In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the first book was not printed, and the second book was not printed. You can imagine the difficulty of book production. As a luxury, books are especially precious.
Next, you should think that the cultivation of talents is not to plant radishes in the fields, but to plant seeds and wait for them to be pulled out. The key to talent cultivation is education. Without books, there is no education.
As a founding monarch, is Liu Xiuhui extravagant or a savage who doesn't understand the importance of book culture? No, then why did Liu Xiu burn those precious luxury books that can help him cultivate talents? To know that Liu Xiu's era is no longer the era of Qin Huang and Wu Han, there is no need to implement such strict measures of unifying thoughts in order to maintain centralization and stability.
