The Burning of books and burying of scholars (焚書坑儒) is a famous event by the Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin dynasty. He ordered burning the books in 213 BCE and buried many Confucian scholars alive. The event’s details are debatable, but we have heard many similar incidents throughout history and from novels.
