Qin Shihuang set off the first cultural storm in the history of China, cleaning up the contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Hanwu followed closely, respecting Confucianism alone, thus establishing the dominant position of Confucianism in China's national culture for two thousand years.
These two emperors, who were unprecedented in military affairs, were also destroyers and innovators in the cultural field.
Those who dare to collect poems and hundreds of languages in the world will learn to keep them and burn them. There is a market for people who dare to speak English and write poems. Think of the past as a family that is not the present. Those officials are all guilty of the same crime if they don't mention it. If it doesn't burn for the next 30 days, it will be a city. Those who don't go, the book of planting trees.
So it is suggested to ask the students about the case, and the students tell each other, which is self-exclusion. More than 460 people broke the ban, all in Xianyang, so that the world could know about it and punish them. Gradually, I moved to the border.
-Historical Records Qin Shihuang Legends When it comes to Qin Shihuang's cruelty, the world will inevitably think of several unpopular deeds. One thing that most scholars in the world hate most is burning books to bury Confucianism.
What is burning books to bury Confucianism? Simply put, it is to burn all reactionary books and bury those Confucian scholars who point fingers at political policies alive.
But the fact is not so simple.
Let's start from the beginning.
As mentioned earlier, the great writer Reese wrote a book, remonstrating and expelling. Ying Zheng felt very reasonable after reading it, and immediately announced that he would recruit talents from all over the world.
Therefore, all the true sages and false sages in the world went to Xianyang to equip themselves.
Ying Zheng completed the historic mission of unifying the six countries and established an unprecedented powerful Daqin Empire. It passed in the blink of an eye, and then I was a little proud of my victory and did some inhuman things.
However, during this period, the Sheng government did not oppose Confucian scholars, but was very optimistic about this group of Confucian scholars.
On the one hand, he collected a large number of classical documents from the courts and folk of the six countries. At the same time, more than 70 old scholars and more than 2,000 students were recruited to do some book sorting work.
But this is not the purpose of winning politics.
He ordered that reactionary publications be banned from being popular in the market and that books beneficial to the Qin regime be rewarded.
However, the development of things did not follow Qin Shihuang's idea.
These doctors and students are the products of the old times, full of old culture and old ideas. In their eyes, Confucius is a saint, and his words are sacred words, which are much more useful than those of Qin Shihuang.
As a result, they not only did not cooperate, but also complained from time to time, giving different opinions on current politics.
Seeing this situation, Ying Zheng was full of anger. He was worried that he didn't have a chance to vent, so the opportunity came.
In 2 13 BC, Qin Shihuang held a reception in Xianyang Palace.
Those 70 old guys celebrated the first emperor's birthday, and that servant Zhou took the opportunity to kiss their ass, saying that they were not as good as your majesty Wade since ancient times, and so on.
Dr. Chun Yuyue, a bookworm, can't listen anymore. He called him a pony fart in front of Ying Zheng's old face, and Chunyuyue was also a fool. Playing the devil's advocate in the mood of winning a political victory embarrassed everyone.
Comrade Reese is a legalist figure, and he can't stand being resolute and vigorous.
Li Si complained to Ying Zheng about his interests, saying that what he said was ancient and harmful, and he pretended to be confused. When I heard the order, I used my own personal knowledge to talk about it. I didn't mean it when I went in. When you go out, talk in the street. When I was not the owner, I felt high and led a group of people to create slander. There is no way, the main feelings will fall, and it will be inconvenient for the party and success.
Seeing Ying Zheng secretly nodding, Li Si expressed the proposal that all scholars in the world should hate him for life: all non-Qin historical books should be burned, and other ancient books of the pre-Qin period should be collected only in the imperial court, but not by the people.
Qin Shihuang was just a man who despised Confucianism and admired Legalism. This suggestion reached Ying Zheng's heart, so he took the opportunity to issue a book burning order.
If anyone violates the ban on burning, the tattoo on his face will be punished as hard labor; Those who dare to gather people to crusade will be punished by violent corpse; Those who do not burn within 30 days after the order is issued shall be sentenced to hard labor.
Ordered that anyone who dares to talk about poetry books in the future will be sentenced to death; If the past is not the present, the whole family will be executed.
After this order was issued, books were burned all over the country. In less than 30 days, all the classic documents before the Qin Dynasty were reduced to ashes, and China's ancient ideology and culture suffered unprecedented destruction. This is the famous book burning event in history.
This is the first step of burning books and burying Confucianism, and the next step is to bury Confucianism.
Qin Shihuang knew that although books were burned, people's minds could not be burned. To eliminate these reactionary ideas, we must eliminate these reactionary literati.
What is the excuse? After Qin Shihuang became the first emperor in history, he felt that the emperor's life was really cool, but unfortunately there was only one life. What should I do?
Finding a way to prolong this life, he became fascinated with fairy magic. Even at the expense of huge sums of money, they sent people to distant mountains to seek elixir of life.
There are two alchemists looking for an elixir for Ying Zheng. One is Hou Sheng and the other is Lu Sheng.
They are not as stupid as winning the government, one is better than the other. People don't study for nothing, but there is still materialism. Knowing that the fairy medicine is a trick to deceive the rich, it is impossible to find it in my life. Might as well take this opportunity to cheat a few small money.
Cheat to eat and drink for a long time, and it has been fruitless to find the fairy medicine. Qin Shihuang is in a hurry.
Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng are afraid that things will be revealed, which is a disaster for them. So I ran away. The excuse is that Qin Shihuang was too overbearing and cruel. How can people who take the elixir live? Qin Shihuang flew into a rage after hearing the news.
I thought I provided you with food and drink, but I spent so much money and got nothing done. On the contrary, I said I had no kindness.
In a rage, he arrested a group of Confucian scholars who hated her guts. Shengzheng is a big circle on the list of people, and the result of this circle is that all 460 people who have been circled are buried alive.
After doing these things, in order to scare those scholars, Ying Zheng asked the propaganda organization to publicize this inhuman thing, which made people panic for a time.
I was addicted to seizing power and burying people, and then I launched the second and third burial of Confucianism one after another.
Since then, Qin Shihuang has become the object of criticism by scholars.
Comments:
The reason why Qin Shihuang burned books to bury Confucianism was because he was deeply poisoned by legalism. In fact, you can use the theory of legalists to fight wars and play politics. Governing the country is nonsense.
There is nothing wrong with your ruling the country, and there is nothing to complain about unifying your thoughts. After all, is the ideological field the main position of culture? If we unify our thinking, other things will be easy. I understand this victory. However, cultural and ideological work and leading troops to fight vary from time to time. It's not nonsense to rule culture with what you fought with soldiers. What is this?
