History has always said that Qin Shi Huang was a tyrant, but is this really the case?

As the saying goes, "history is a little girl who dresses up". Whether Qin Shi Huang is a Ming monarch or an immortal tyrant is a matter of opinion. In my heart, Qin Shi Huang was not a perfect person, and he also had shortcomings.

But who doesn't have a flaw? From ancient times to the present, how can there be a flawless ruler in China and abroad? It's simply not possible.

What's more, in the face of Qin Shi Huang's merits, is that flaw still worth mentioning? The reason why so many people criticize Qin Shi Huang as a tyrant is just a slander from Confucianism. In fact, in my opinion, Confucianism is an indispensable part of Chinese history and culture.

But it has to be said that Confucianism is a cancer of Chinese culture. To summarize the Confucian tradition is egoism. Confucianism can flatter rulers for the sake of power, and of course Confucianism can slander and slander anyone for the sake of power.

Qin Shi Huang was an unlucky victim.

Frankly speaking, what are the things that Confucianism said about the tyrants of Qin Shi Huang that can stand up to scrutiny? Let's talk about Qin Shi Huang, whom Confucianism has always advocated"Book burning"The tyrant of the Confucian. Does this crime make sense?

Did Qin Shi Huang kill Confucianism? No! Qin Shi Huang killed those who collaborated to deceive Qin Shi Huang.

As for the books burned by Qin Shi Huang. Most of the books burned were witch doctors' divination books. There are also books that propagated the culture and ideas of the original six countries.

The purpose of Qin Shi Huang's burning of books from the Six Kingdoms was to unify education, ideology and culture. It's like the current national unified textbook, can you say that this is wrong? So Qin Shi Huang is not wrong to burn books.

Moreover, it is understood that the Qin Dynasty still has the original collection of books from the Six Kingdoms.

Let's talk about the crime of Qin Shi Huang building and abusing the people. Indeed, Qin Shi Huang did spend a lot of people's and material resources to build the mausoleum. But which emperor didn't build a mausoleum during the feudal period?

Which emperor did not abuse the power of the people? Why was Qin Shi Huang so criticized? It doesn't make sense.

Besides, Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall and the Ling Canal. This turned out to be evidence of Qin Shi Huang's abuse of people's power. Please, Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to defend against the invasion of the Xiongnu from the north.

The Ling Canal was built to enhance north-south traffic. Such a livelihood project that benefits the country and the people has become the tyrant of Qin Shi Huang? That's enough.

Then there is the fact that Qin Shi Huang was reckless. Soon after Qin Shi Huang established the Qin Dynasty under his unification of the world, he began to use troops against the Xiongnu in the north and the Baiyue in the south. Indeed, Qin Shi Huang's urgent large-scale conquest did ignore the Qin Dynasty's own national strength.

But for Qin Shi Huang's attack on the Xiongnu and Baiyue, this is beyond doubt. Qin Shi Huang attacked the Xiongnu in order to solve the border troubles and keep the enemy out of the country. The attack on Baiyue was for territorial expansion.

In the end, it's for the country. What did Qin Shi Huang do wrong? In fact, Qin Shi Huang's only mistake was that he did not do his propaganda properly.

Otherwise, he will not be framed as a faint king. was upright and was wantonly slandered by the villain. It's sad.

Historical documents always have the significance of the times, and most of them are written by later generations and serve future generations. So whether Qin Shi Huang is still up for debate. However, Qin Shi Huang's contribution to Chinese history was enormous, building the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies, establishing a unified monetary system, a system of weights and measures, and train tracks.

Not necessarily. Qin Shi Huang can become the first person to unify the world, and his ability must not be underestimated, so as to be outstanding.

This is not the case in real reality. After Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, he made many reforms for the country and society, and was not a real tyrant.

To say that Qin Shi Huang was a tyrant is not very objective.

History is written by later generations, and Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six countries will inevitably lead to a river of blood. After the unification of Qin, it only lasted for more than ten years before it was destroyed by Liu Bang, and the first ten years of any dynasty were constantly in turmoil. For example, the Tang Dynasty was founded in 618, and the unification was truly completed in 628, and the Qing Dynasty entered Beijing in 1644, and the remnants of the Southern Ming and Dashun were exterminated in 1664.

It's only been 15 years, and everyone is still very nostalgic for their homeland, so there are still many rebel forces in the Qin Empire during this period, and they must still be under the high-pressure rule of the Qin regime. In the absence of a period of peaceful development, the monarch is naturally said to be a tyrant. Moreover, Qin Shi Huang's burning of books and the construction of the Great Wall were also means of strengthening his rule at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the ruled people were greatly harmed.

In addition, the history of Qin was written by later generations, mainly recorded in Sima Qian's "Historical Records", Sima Qian was a member of the Han Dynasty who destroyed Qin, and the later dynasties generally denigrated the rulers of the previous dynasties to a greater or lesser extent. Naturally, it won't be so objective.

1.Burning books and pit Confucianism - Qin Shi Huang burned all the people's book collections, killed a large number of innocent scholars and scholars, and seriously destroyed China's ancient culture, which is a political atrocity.

2.Conscription is too heavy and does not show compassion for the people's strength - Qin Shi Huang should immediately implement a policy of light taxation and light taxation after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, and give the people a chance to "recuperate". However, he was so happy with his achievements, and he was building a lot of construction projects inside, and he was working expeditions outside, causing the broad masses of the people to suffer unspeakably.

So Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up, and the world responded and overthrew the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang pushed the rule of law on which the Qin State relied to rise to the world, and the old and young remnants of the Six Kingdoms, who were originally powerful, were unwilling and unaccustomed to the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and in order to resist foreign races, Qin Shi Huang also had to ignore the hardships of the people at the bottom, so he was said to be a tyrant.

Because the laws of Qin were cruel, and there was the occurrence of "book burning and Confucianism", the people were miserable, which showed that Qin Shi Huang's rule was still relatively harsh, so the people felt that Qin Shi Huang was a tyrant.

Qin Shi Huang made a series of policies after the great unification, wanted to rule people's thoughts, and directly used the extreme method of burning books and pit Confucianism, and building the Great Wall and building the Afang Palace and the imperial mausoleum were all laborious and costly, and the people were not able to make a living, so everyone said that Qin Shi Huang was a tyrant.

Was Qin Shi Huang a tyrant?

Was Qin Shi Huang really a tyrant? You have been deceived for more than 2,000 years, and he is great.

Some of the reasons are controversial, such as strict laws, large-scale projects, labor and money, book burning, and Confucianism.
