Qin Shi Huang s merits and demerits are square s debates

You should proceed from the perspective of the ultimate determining force --- productive forces in the history of the development of human society, and from the overall situation of the great unity and integration of the Chinese nation.

For Qin Shi Huang, his merits cannot be denied, but there are also many controversies and criticisms in history. Here are some possible objections:1

The Great Wall was built to defend the frontier areas in previous generations, but Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to control the peasants, increase taxes, and maintain his rule. Therefore, the Great Wall was built to be ruled, not to protect the country. 2.

The Qin dynasty unified China, but in the process of enforcing unification, he brutally attacked the opposition, killed a large number of intellectuals, banned dissident culture, and carried out a massive book burning. These methods may have achieved Qin Shi Huang's goals, but they were a huge loss for China's cultural and intellectual inheritance. 3.

Before the reunification of China, each of the six countries had its own development path and had high achievements in agriculture, handicrafts, economy, and culture. In the Qin Shi Huang period, the result of unification was a homogeneous and repressive social order, and the rulers' control of culture and the imprisonment of knowledge instead caused setbacks to economic and social development. 4.

Qin Shi Huang's measures such as monetary standardization, Guilin Li, and the Law of Laws and Decrees appear to have had a positive effect on the management of the state, but they also led to greater centralization of power and a convergence of the political and economic structures of Chinese society. Such convergence could have an undesirable impact on long-term economic and social development. 5.

In the decades after the unification of Qin Shi Huang, thousands of people lost their lives for the construction of palaces, the Great Wall, the Grand Canal and other projects, and suffered harsh punishments for maintaining law and order. These sacrifices were made in exchange for something that was unacceptable to the unique and strictly moral standards of Chinese history. In short, although Qin Shi Huang's unification was a major event in Chinese history, his means and costs should also cause us to rethink and evaluate his merits and demerits more comprehensively and value-neutrally.

He once ordered the expulsion of the scholars of the Six Kingdoms and the killing of the descendants of Confucius. However, I think Qin Shi Huang still has more merit than demerit, he did not use the feudal system and implemented the county system, which is already the same as the current state management method, he unified the currency, unified writing, unified weights and measures. The purpose of burning books is to unify culture, and the purpose of pit Confucianism is to prevent the restoration of Confucius's Zhou ritual culture and feudalism.

Modern people know that "if you want to get rich, build roads!" "At that time, the First Emperor built the road for the sake of the world. Progress must come with sacrifices.

The construction of Afang Palace, Lishan Tomb, the ancient Great Wall, the burning of books and the pit of Confucianism, moving south and north

The burning of books and the pit of Confucianism caused a fault line in Chinese culture.

Don't bother, there's no point in talking nonsense with your eyes open.

You'd better argue that Qin Shi Huang has few mistakes.

Gong: 1 Unification of the Six Kingdoms 2 Unification of Writing 3 Unification of Weights and Measures 4 Unification of Currency 5 Repair of Straight Road and Chi Road 6 Expedition to the South to Baiyue 7 Attack on the Xiongnu in the North 8 Repair of the Great Wall.

Part: Book burning (Qin Shi Huang pit is not Confucian) Heavy taxation.

Rumors: A lot of labor was used to repair the Afang Palace (the Afang Palace was not built at all), and the laws of the seven countries such as strict punishment and strict punishment and the three tribes were all available in the seven countries.
