Analyze the impact of book burning and Confucianism .

Qin Shi Huang's book burning was not complete, but he just asked the guards to ask people from door to door, and it was not difficult for those who really wanted to hide books to dig a deep pit in the ground and bury some. Moreover, in ancient times, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and there were many reclusive people with many books. The impact of the words of the Confucianism is even smaller, that is, it kills hundreds of out-of-the-ordinary birds who talk nonsense, and it cannot be said to have a profound impact on history.

If the book burning pit Confucianism really has a significant impact, we can still see the Tao Te Ching, the Spring and Autumn Analects or something.

The burning of books and the pit of Confucianism was a measure taken by Qin Shi Huang to strengthen his political power, but there is no doubt that his measure was a failure.

Although, to a certain extent, he controls some people, but it also restricts people's minds and hinders the development of society.

Chinese culture was affected, and the literati could only hide their abilities and could not make a difference, and we could not have a comprehensive understanding of the history of that time, so that we could not study the historical events of Qin Shi Huang well, and buried many heroes

It has greatly promoted the reunification of the Chinese nation.

<>1. Although the burning of books and Confucianism maintained the rule of the Qin Dynasty, it also hastened the demise of its regime. Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism, with the intention of maintaining unified centralization and politics, and further excluding different political ideas and opinions, but it did not achieve the desired effect. This was different from other measures adopted by Qin Shi Huang, which was unexpected by Qin Shi Huang and Prime Minister Li Si.

2. Book burning and Confucianism suppressed people's minds at that time. Although it was to strengthen the control of the mind and was successful in a short time; However, it was not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the country, was not conducive to social development, suppressed people's minds at that time, and used cruel and brutal methods.

Many of the knowledge related to various disciplines, such as academics, musical scores, research, astronomy, and geography, which our predecessors had devoted themselves to, were burned, and many precious documents and historical biographies were destroyed, hindering the progress of the country.

The damage caused by the burning of books and the pit of Confucianism includes: accelerating the demise of the Qin State, destroying many cultural classics, destroying many precious pre-Qin cultures, embedding people's thoughts, and not conducive to innovation and development.

Qin Shi Huang is the first emperor in the history of our country, and people's evaluation of him is also mixed, there have been countless rumors around him for thousands of years, his family has been portrayed as filthy, and he himself has been portrayed as a tyrant, saying that he burned books and exterminated Confucianism and culture.

When we read about Qin Shi Huang's life, we will find that his history seems to have been deliberately mixed with something. Take "burning books and pit Confucianism" as an example, he did do "book burning" and "kill" some alchemists, but he did not deliberately suppress Confucianism, and even "burned books and pit Confucianism".

In the "Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang Benji".

There is an account of the 35th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, when a debate was held in the court, and the focus of the debate was whether to continue to promote the reform of the "county system". At that time, the doctors believed that the "county system" should be revised according to the records of historical classics, and even imitated the Zhou Dynasty.

of the "sub-envelope system". And Lees.

Others believed that the current situation was completely different in the last week, and that the "county system" should be fully implemented, and then he suggested to Qin Shi Huang that some classical books should be burned, and Qin Shi Huang suggested that Li Si suggested, which is the "Historical Records".

The origin of the "book burning" of the First Emperor of the Middle Qin Dynasty.

The origin of the "Confucianism" incident is also recorded in the "Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang", which says that Qin Shi Huang was obsessed with immortality at that time, and arranged for Fang Shi Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng and others to go out to seek immortals and ask for medicine. After spending a lot of money to talk about the wealth of the imperial socks, these monks sneaked away, which annoyed Qin Shi Huang, so they arrested the monks in Xianyang City to punish the crime. These priests bit each other in order to save their lives, and in the end, more than 460 people were convicted, and they were buried alive.

The description of Qin Shi Huang's "book burning and pit Confucianism" that we know is obtained from the "Historical Records", but we will find a doubtful point, that is, there is no description of Qin Shi Huang's "burning books and pit Confucianism" in the books before the "Historical Records". Emperor Wen of Han.

Jia Yi, a famous political commentator of the period.

He once wrote "On the Passage of Qin.

To criticize the gains and losses in the process of demolishing the Qin Dynasty, he has also criticized Qin Shi Huang's "book burning" many times, but he did not mention Qin Shi Huang's killing of Fang Shi at all.

Summary: The two incidents of "burning books and pit Confucianism" can indeed be called a crime of cultural history, and its negative impact is that the free thought of a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period was constrained, and to a certain extent, it hindered the development of history and culture.

But it still has a positive meaning, and has its historical inevitability, when the world has just been unified, and the whole society also needs new values, and the core is "unification", feudal society.

Centralization needs to be strengthened.

The practice of "burning books and pit Confucianism" was a manifestation of its concentration of power, which was conducive to the unification of thinking under the historical circumstances of the time.

Because Qin Shi Huang at that time wanted to unify the country in this way, and then wanted to unify thoughts, and in this way wanted to weaken people's willingness to resist; However, the economic development has become slower and slower, which has affected the progress and development of the society.

The cultural relics that influenced the country, as well as some history, allowed Qin Shi Huang to unify the six countries and create the status of the Qin State, so that everyone could learn the language in a unified way and manage it better.

It has promoted the unity of culture and the unity of writing, which has led to the disappearance of a large number of materials, affected the inheritance of culture, and affected the relevant records.

It is convenient to unify thoughts, culture, and values, which shackles the cultural ideas of a hundred schools of thought at that time, and hinders the development of the long river of history.

The essence of "burning books and pit Confucianism" is actually a movement to unify thinking. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms of Pinqiao, in terms of political structure, the feudal system was abolished and the county system was implemented nationwide.

Culturally, the text is unified, and the official text with the small seal as the standard is used to amuse the dust; In the economic field, the loss refers to the unification of currency and the unification of weights and measures. These measures are essential elements for the unification of the country.
