During the Qin dynasty there were writers who wrote books that were called Scholars. The Scholars wrote many books but Emperor Qin ordered a book burning which was when they took all the books the Scholars wrote and threw them into a fire. Emperor Qin burned over a 100 books and wrote his own history books. That wasn’t the only thing Emperor Qin did that was bad, he also killed the scholars. He killed every scholar in the Qin dynasty. Since he killed over 460 scholars, and burned all there books, there wasn’t really anyone to write any more books. Emperor Qin killed all the scholars by making them all go in a hole. He put people with weapons and shovels on the perimeter of the hole, some to fill up the hole with the scholars in it, and the others would hit the scholars back in the hole if they tried to escape. Emperor Qin wanted to be the only ruler and person that everyone would listen to. So one of the reasons why he burned the scholars books and the scholars, was so nobody can listen/do what the books say to do or is right. Emperor Qin trusted nobody so he didn’t want anybody to write anything that could be wrong.
