It is quite true that history is written by winners. Throughout the ages, many things can only be judged by historical records. History books written by people and stories handed down from generation to generation are the real history. Many things are hidden in the fog of history. After thousands of years, can the truth discovered by experts really be regarded as "true"? Even the most popular Qin Gui Yuefei incident recently, officials have different versions? There is no official history.
As the name implies, it is to burn books and bury Confucianism. History books often use this to show that Qin Shihuang was cruel and overbearing. In fact, there were indeed Confucian disciples killed at that time, but most of them were charlatans. In fact, this is just a trivial matter magnified by uglification, just like eating meat has evolved into eating people. First of all, not all Confucian scholars were trapped and killed, but most of them were charlatans. Just to vilify Qin Shihuang, they were called Confucian scholars by simplifying the explanation. Speaking of "book burning", as for book burning, it is actually recorded. But the books of the Qin dynasty are state-owned, so why blame burning your own things? Some people say it is the destruction of Confucian culture. How many people will think of Qin Shihuang? At best, it is only to consolidate the regime. This kind of thing has happened in all dynasties. Why should we only target Qin Shihuang?
? This is also fake. In fact, few things in history books are right. In fact, this policy promoted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not written into the history books at all. We should know that Sima Qian and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were people of the same era. Sima Qian only wrote in Historical Records that he respected Confucianism, which is also uncertain. Sima Qian, a contemporary of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and a disciple of Dong Zhongshu, only wrote in historical records that Emperor Wu respected Confucius and Confucianism, which appeared in Han Shu written by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty 200 years later, and was probably invented by himself.
History is the biggest scam, and the prosperous time of Kanggan is a joke. Do you understand these?
? China has been accused of killing nine clans since ancient times, and only Fang Xiaoru is a case of killing ten clans. We also scolded Emperor Judy for a long time and did many evil things, but we can't just blame others for their bad things. There has been a saying that nine families were killed since ancient times, and only this Fang Xiaoru was killed in the history of ten families. It's actually wrong. Although Judy killed many people, he really didn't punish the top ten relatives, but this record didn't even appear in the "blackened" Ming history, only in unofficial history written by Zhu Zhishan, but now it has become a fact.

Kangxi dynasty? Dry prosperity? It doesn't exist. This can be said to be the biggest scam in China. In the Kangxi era, the state treasury was in deficit. Yongzheng took over this "mess" and made great efforts to save money, but it was taken over by Qianlong. In the end, the Qing dynasty was finished after being tossed around by Cixi. Kangxi Qianlong and his two grandchildren not only deceived themselves, but also harmed countless generations of China people. From a historical perspective, the truly powerful Qing emperor was actually an ugly Yong Zhengdi.
Militarily, in that "prosperous time", even Myanmar could not beat it. From the perspective of wealth, is there a big gap between the rich and the poor? Not only that, the people who can really appear in the sun are the rich, and the poor have no chance to stand in the sun. Talking about culture, the word "literary inquisition is simple" silences the whole country.
Economically, the treasury was very empty in the last years of Kangxi. Fortunately, Yongzheng's anti-corruption was severe, corrupt officials were greatly reduced, and the state treasury was enriched at once. In fact, Gan Long is also very poor, because he has a corrupt official, Xiao Shenyang, as his wallet, so he is not worried. The emperor behind became poorer and poorer, and was finally destroyed by Cixi, and the fate of the country was also seen.
So history is always written by winners!
