Because he felt that he had read 6.5438+0.4 million books, and finally he was the result of national subjugation. It's no use keeping those books. Moreover, he feels that everything is not his own fault, but the fault of others. Even the books were wrong, so he burned them.

Of the140,000 books, 70,000 were shipped from Jiankang, and the other 70,000 were rare books, many of which were rare books, which were the cultural essence handed down from Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties for hundreds of years. The impact of this book burning was worse than that of Qin Shihuang, which led to the loss of many books and many cultures.

Although Emperor lyna was knowledgeable, he seldom applied what he learned in the book to the management of the country, which led to the demise of a great country in his hands. When he first began to reign, he held a wonderful "debate contest", that is, whether to move the capital back to Jiankang.

As far as distance is concerned, Jiangling is in the north of the Yangtze River, which is easy to be breached, and it is too close to Xiangyang, the stronghold of the enemy Cha Xiao, only over 200 kilometers. Secondly, in the eyes of the people, if they enter Jiankang, they will be emperors, and if they stay in Jiangling, they will be government officials at most. Even if more than half of the ministers suggested that Jiankang should be further developed, Emperor Yuan of Liang did not agree.

But also Wang Sengbian and Chen Baxian, two men with great relieving power, guarded Jiankang and Jingkou, and transferred their local laws and departments, second only to them, and his brother-in-law, Wang Lin, to Yunzhou and Guangzhou, respectively, for fear of their malicious intentions.

At the beginning of the attack on Liang in the Western Wei Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of Liang thought that he would not attack him, because the two countries were on good terms. Emperor Yuan of Liang likes to talk clearly, and every conversation will last for many days. At that time, the battle report on the front line was like snowflakes, but he just wanted to say Lao Tzu.

Until finally, the Western Wei army launched a general attack on Jiangling City from all directions. Seeing that the city was about to be breached, it issued a final order to burn all the 1.4 million ancient and modern books in the palace, and it took only half a month for Jiangling to be conquered.

What is wrong is not the book at all, but the stubbornness, arrogance and suspicion of the confidant minister of Emperor Liang Yuan. However, after all, he felt that he was a generation of emperors and could not be wrong. He felt that books were also wrong, so he set fire to so many books, and Emperor Liang only lived to be 47 years old.
