The Classic of Mountains and Seas made Qin Shi Huang reluctant to burn it, what is the mystery?

Qin Shi Huang. The reason why he is reluctant to burn the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Because there are some of themDocumentedIt's about the art of immortality. Qin Shi Huang was desperate to know how to live forever, and naturally he would not ruin this book.

So what are the records of immortality in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"? There is a mention of the country of Wuji in the book, and the people of this country are very strange, and the people who have always lived in the world are those people, and there is no phenomenon of changing from generation to generation. It's not that they don't die, it's just that they have a certain period of time.

But when they die, they will be buried in the ground, and after a hundred years they will break through the ground and come back to life, and then continue to live in the country. SuchSuperpowersIt sounds absurd, but in the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, it should be a very desirable thing.

In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there is another country that is also very strange, that is, the country of immortality. Listening to this name, you know that the story of this country is very much in line with Qin Shi Huang's taste, right? It is said that the people of the Immortal Kingdom have the ability to live forever because they all eat a sacred tree, which is called the Tree of Immortality.

It is said that this tree not only gives people the ability to live forever, but also has the effect of reviving the dead. Such a magical tree, Qin Shi Huang must have wondered what it was. It is estimated that in order to study what this kind of tree is, he can only find it in **, so he is reluctant to destroy this book.

You must know that Qin Shi Huang's thirst for immortality is quite strong, and he has been trying to find this method.

To sum up, Qin Shi Huang did not destroy the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" because there were more records of immortality in it, which made him have a strong interest.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a famous pre-Qin ancient book in China, and it is the oldest geography book rich in myths and legends. The most important thing is that it not only records geographical knowledge, but also contains magical immortality.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" not only records the mountains, rivers and many humanities, the records of all things in the world, but more importantly, it is said that it has the secret of the art of immortality, of course, so that Qin Shi Huang, who is bent on seeking immortality, will never forget.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas contains too many things, including secrets that Qin Shi Huang thought would make him immortal, so Qin Shi Huang would be reluctant to burn these things.

The content of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is mainly the geographical knowledge in folklore, including mountains and rivers, Daoli, people, products, medicines, sacrifices, witch doctors, etc. Geography only records the terrain of various places, and it is a magic weapon to win in wars, how to be willing to burn it.

The mysterious and strange monsters recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas made Qin Shi Huang, who was bent on pursuing immortality, yearn for it.

Qin Shi Huang did not want to die in his old age, and was obsessed with the art of immortality.

Because the Classic of Mountains and Seas not only recorded geographical knowledge, but also contained the legendary mysterious art of immortality, he was certainly reluctant to burn it.

Because there is an immortality technique that Qin Shi Huang was obsessed with in his later years.

Qin Shi Huang was reluctant to burn the mountains and seas, because there are secrets about immortality in the legend, and some people say that the animals in the mountains and seas are real, of course, this has yet to be verified.

The human head and snake body in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a symbol of divinity, and the god of water, Gonggong, and the mountain god Candle Dragon all have this characteristic. Therefore, the secret of Xuanyuan people's longevity is because they are descendants of the Yellow Emperor and are born with divinity. However, there is another puzzling thing about the people of Xuanyuan who have divinity - how to shoot arrows with a bow and a snake body?

It was the descendants of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, in their intermarriage with other races, who gradually lost this divinity.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas describes ancient books about strange creatures, including a lot of astronomy, geography, nature and other aspects of knowledge. Most of them are people's experiences, passed down by word of mouth, and summed up very preciously.

Qin Shi Huang's "book burning and pit Confucianism" was essentially a religious purge, the intention was to establish a new type of religious relations, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a geography book, which has little significance for the origin of theocracy, just like Confucianism, the status is not very important in Qin Shi Huang's mind, so it can be preserved.

Qin Shi Huang's "burning books and pit Confucianism", "burning" is the traditional core classics of Confucianism, and "pitting" is the traditional core scholars of Confucianism, and the motivation of Qin Shi Huang's "burning books and pit Confucianism" is because he thinks that he has mastered the core of another group of Confucianism and Taoism, that is, he has the strong support of later generations called "Legalists".

To put it simply, Qin Shi Huang thought that he already had the Taoist "Tao Te Ching" and its perfect annotation "Han Feizi" as a theoretical rule, so it is rumored that he burned the theoretical scripture "Tao Jing" of Confucianism like the Western "Bible", and "beat the rabbit with grass", and burned all the Confucian "Book of Music", "Book of Books", and "Book of Songs", leaving only the "Book of Changes" not burned, because "Legalism" as a branch of Taoism also needs to be used.

The "Book of Books" and "Book of Songs" that were handed down later were not because Qin Shi Huang was merciful and did not burn, but because these two books were considered by Qin Shi Huang to be relatively low-end, not as broad and profound as the "Tao Jing", and not as difficult as the "Book of Music".

The same is true of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which can be handed down because people thought it was low-end enough at the time, so they didn't bother to "burn" it, and people didn't have the awareness to protect it.

Confucian scholars because of Qin Shi Huang's "book burning" and willing to "pit Confucianism" at the cost of "martyrdom", to "martyrdom" with their lives, you know, the same is to speak, the nobles are called "Dao", the commoners are called "Yue", the same is to sacrifice their lives for the ideal, the nobles are called "martyrdom", the commoners are called "sacrifice", "since ancient times it is difficult to die", these nobles dare to go to the execution ground without hesitation, block the knife for the civilians, and the morality is very noble, so they have won the respect of Confucianism from the heart.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is very valuable today, and in terms of information at the time, it may be considered nothing more than that, and what we think is magical now, at that time may feel strange and not unusual, just like a nature magazine now.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is regarded as a strange biography in modern times, but it is said that the secret of immortality is hidden in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and that Qin Shi Huang brought the secrets of the Classic of Mountains and Seas to the tomb in pursuit of resurrection. Someone once said that "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is actually a documentary book, which records the life on the earth in ancient times. The strange species, animals, and people with strange abilities inside are all rumored to be true.

The bigger rumor is that it is said to be matched with a "mountain and sea map", which says that the human world in ancient times and the later human world were separated by the gods. Only by holding the "Mountain and Sea Map" can you find the ancient world full of immortals.

Qin Shi Huang's pursuit of immortality is well known, he first sent people to search for alchemy among the people, and then asked people to go to Kunlun Mountain to find the method of immortality, and then simply asked Xu Fu to go to sea to find the legendary Penglai Immortal Mountain. All this shows that Qin Shi Huang exhausted his life's energy in order to live forever. And Qin Shi Empress actually gave up immortality, as time went by, he slowly grew old, and his physical illness has been tormenting him, making him realize that the so-called immortality can only be a dream.

Therefore, he no longer pursues immortality, but pursues "resurrection". That's right, when it became impossible to become an immortal alive, he began to think about resurrection after death, and the terracotta warriors and horses built for this purpose were the basis for him to reconquer the world after resurrection. However, the resurrection also needs a method, and the method he chose is to use the power of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is rumored that Qin Shi Huang found the Jiukou Ding built in order to suppress the land during the Yu period, which is the main reason for separating the ancient world from the later world.

So Qin Shi Huang collected Jiuding and buried it with himself, hoping to hold the "mountain and sea map" through Jiuding to enter the ancient world and resurrect it after death.

In general, we do not know whether Qin Shi Huang was resurrected in the "ancient world" that he expected; It doesn't matter whether what is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is true or not, because the current civilization and technology have confirmed that everything is just a fantasy of people in the feudal and superstitious period.

The biggest secret is that there is no identity information of the author recorded in the book of Mountains and Seas, and there is no answer to the tomb of Qin Shi Huang.

The biggest secret of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is that there is a legend about immortality, and then it was brought to the grave by Qin Shi Huang.

The biggest secret in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the entrance to another world, and the tomb of Qin Shi Huang has no answer.

The burning of books and the burial of Confucianism was one of the most hated things by later scholars, and everyone considered it a cultural disaster, and many ancient books and records were destroyed in that disaster. The main reason for burning books was that Confucian scholars did not approve of the county system and opposed the feudal system. At that time, the main thing was to burn some books, which was not conducive to the unification of the country.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is basically a book of mythology and geography, so it is not included. In addition, Liu Xin of the Western Han Dynasty was the first person to sort out the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". I am afraid that this book still existed in fragmentary form during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, and it cannot be burned.

It is an ancient and wonderful ancient book full of mythology in the ancient pre-Qin period of China。However, the author of this book is unknown, and modern scholars believe that this book was not written by a single person, and the structure of each chapter of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is different. Except for the following five chapters of the Great Wilderness Sutra, the order of its orientation is not the usual east, south, west, and north, but the arrangement of south, west, north, and east that violates the normal law.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a work of ancient southerners, because it is led by the south in the arrangement of chapters。However, there are many ancient records in the pre-Qin period, and after combing by modern scholars, no similar cases have been found. Therefore, by virtue of this, few people believe in it, and in addition to the rich mythological materials preserved, it also involves various academic fields, such as philosophy, aesthetics, religion, history, geography, astronomy, etc.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a book created with magical colors, and the content in it is full of wonders, only we can't think of it. It contains rich and valuable materials on geography, mythology, folklore, history of science, religion, ethnology, medicine and other disciplines. Its academic value spans many disciplines.

It records a large number of physical and human geography elements of China at that time.

The books burned by Qin Shi Huang and the Confucianism were actually only poems, books, and other historical records of other countries, and did not say that all the books were burned. Therefore, when Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was not within the scope of burning.

People's impression of Qin Shi Huang has actually been influenced by later generations, because the Han Dynasty's smear of Qin Shi Huang has always led to the image of Qin Shi Huang has always been tyrannical in our hearts. But the real historical Qin Shi Huang is actually a person with great talent and strategy, even if he burned books and pit Confucianism, he did nothing wrong under the circumstances at that time. Qin Shi Huang did not come up with the book burning himself, but was suggested by his prime minister Li Si at the time.

At that time, Confucianism was not respected, and we all know that Li Si is actually a typical representative of Legalism. What the Legalists wanted was the unique supreme imperial power, and at that time, because the Six Kingdoms had just been unifiedQin Shi Huang needed to establish prestige and unify the standards of the state. So Qin Shi Huang agreed to Li Si's suggestion.

And the pit Confucianism in the book burning pit is actually not those Confucian students who are buried, but those scholars, Qin Shi Huang has been pursuing immortality in his later years, and those ways have deceived him because of this, so there will be the cause of the incident of Confucianism. In fact, most of the evaluations of Qin Shi Huang are derogatory, and the Qin Shi Huang in real history deserves the title of the first emperor of the ages.

Because the mountains and seas were still needed by Qin Shi Huang, they were not burned, which is very lucky.

Qin Shi Huang burned books and burned books about politics, while "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was a fantasy book.

The books burned by Qin Shi Huang are all books on the cultivation of pills by some alchemists, and they are some relatively messy books, while the Three Seas Classic is an ancient animal weird legend, so it will not be burned.

When Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, he burned some books of Fang Shi and books from other countries.

Qin Shi Huang ordered the burning of the works of the Hundred Schools of Thought and the rest of the history books of the Six Kingdoms. The book of Mountains and Seas is different, when Qin Shi Huang was superstitious about celestial phenomena and pursued immortality.

In fact, I may not have burned the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in my own number, because Shanghai does not represent some people's thoughts, but only records.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" basically belongs to mythology and geography, and he burns all Confucian academic books, of course, he will not burn the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Qin Shi Huang burned Confucian, academic books, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" did not belong to this category, so they were preserved.

Book burning was mainly the destruction of Confucian classics.

In the 34th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang (213 BC), the doctor Qi Ren Chun Yuyue opposed the "county system" implemented at that time, and demanded that the children be divided according to the ancient system. Prime Minister Li Si refuted it and advocated prohibiting the common people from slandering the government with private learning.

Qin Shi Huang adopted Li Si's suggestion and ordered the people to hand over the works of Zhuzi and the ancient historical books of the Six Kingdoms to the government for destruction within a time limit. The works of the Qin Dynasty, medicine, divination, peasant family, and legalism were not affected.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a strange book that has no impact on Qin Shi Huang's unification thoughts, so it is not among the books burned.
