It is generally believed that during the Warring States period, the culture of Qin fell behind the six countries in Shandong, and there is a saying that "Qin is also a tiger and a wolf".

After the Qin Dynasty unified China, it took a series of measures to consolidate its rule, including the famous "Wentong Calligraphy", which unified the different writing styles used by various countries in the Warring States period into the so-called Xiao Zhuan, which was said to have been invented by Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty.

"Burning books to bury Confucianism" was a policy pursued by the Qin Dynasty for the stability and unification of the state power, and it was also a kind of destruction of China culture at that time. The policy of "burning books" was aimed at books and cultural relics at that time, only a large number of precious documents necessary for people's livelihood and governing the country were lost, and hundreds of speeches in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were seriously damaged during this period. The policy of "burying Confucianism" is also the first recorded large-scale arrest of intellectuals by state power in the history of China (called "persecution" by Confucianism). But at the same time, there are also views that "burning books to bury Confucianism" has little influence on culture, and the main reasons are as follows: 1. The so-called book burning aims at banning "those who borrow the past and forget the present", and the punishment measures for the amount of books collected are not severe. The books burned are all folk books, not including doctors' books. At that time, there were not many folk poems and books. However, after Xiang Yu defeated Qin Jun's main force and entered Xianyang, the fire at Epang Palace destroyed a large number of precious books and records collected by the Qin government. 3. Qin died in, the real implementation time will not exceed ten years, and the impact will not be too great. The reason why "burning books to bury Confucianism" is so famous lies in the "exclusive respect for Confucianism" in later generations, which makes Confucianism occupy the dominant position in China's national ideology for nearly two thousand years.

The Han Dynasty is a very glorious period of science and technology culture in the history of China. The state also attaches great importance to education and knowledge.

Great achievements have been made in academic freedom in the Han Dynasty, and the knowledge of philosophers in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period can also be fully displayed, which is not the exclusive admiration for Confucianism as some people say.

The historical standards initiated by writers in Han Dynasty did not lead the world until18th century.
