    Because intellectuals were more thoughtful and had views on things, Qin Shi Huang wanted to burn books without being opposed ideologically, hoping to consolidate his rule in this way.

    In order to strengthen thought control.

    Because at that time, some people opposed Qin Shi Huang's establishment of the county system, and most of the people who opposed it were scholars (or in order to find the elixir of life, they were deceived by warlocks, and in a fit of anger, they ordered the burning of books and Confucianism).

    As for whether the pit was a scholar or a warlock, there is no way to verify.

    After Qin Shi Huang annexed the Six Kingdoms, he needed one voice in the whole country to maintain the unity of the country. To put it bluntly, it means the same as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone".

    Stabilize politics. Qin Shi Huang demanded the unity of thought, currency, weights and measures, and writing throughout the country. In his opinion, these reunifications are necessary to stabilize his politics!

    It's good. Because culture needs to be developed, some unqualified things should be burned and some new things should be developed.

    Qin Shi Huang is a famous emperor in Chinese history, he unified the six countries in the turbulent years of the Warring States and established a powerful Qin Dynasty, but later people's evaluation of Qin Shi Huang is also varied, some people think that Qin Shi Huang is a great emperor, but some people think that Qin Shi Huang is a tyrant, Qin Shi Huang did the most criticized thing during his reign is the book burning and Confucianism incident. So what was the reason why Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism?

    One. Although the Qin State unified the world at that time, the Six Nations still had a certain influence in the people at that time, and many people in the land of the original Six Kingdoms still lived in accordance with the original laws and policies, which also caused great difficulties for Qin Shi Huang to manage the country, so Qin Shi Huang accepted the advice of Prime Minister Li Si to keep only the actual and some medical books, and all the books about the other six countries were burned, and they searched in the people. Anyone found to be in possession of books will be severely punished.

    Two. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the regime was not very stable, at this time, there were many Confucian scholars began to discuss state affairs, and even some Lu Sen believed that the county system adopted by Qin Shi Huang was not as good as the original Zhou Dynasty adopted the feudal system, and in the people talked about national politics and criticized Qin Shi Huang's remnants, which also caused Qin Shi Huang to be quite dissatisfied, which was also an important reason for the burning of books and Confucianism.

    Three. Qin Shi Huang began to pursue the way of immortality after the unification of the six countries, he looked for many monks to refine the elixir for him, it is precisely because Qin Shi Huang was close to the monks, so that many monks can get a glimpse of Qin Shi Huang's daily life, and these ways are also widely publicized, among which some of the monks took advantage of Qin Shi Huang's pursuit of immortality to defraud a large amount of money and fled, which caused Qin Shi Huang's anger.

    It was for these reasons that Qin Shi Huang was completely angry, and finally Qin Shi Huang ordered the burning of books, and killed Confucian scholars and scholars, and this time more than 460 people were buried alive, which is the famous book burning pit in history.

    The Qin Dynasty used the idea of law to govern the world, and some people used Confucianism to judge the politics of the time, so Qin Shi Huang was very rejecting Confucianism, so for the sake of unification and centralization, he began to burn books and pit Confucianism.
