This article reexamines Qin Shi Huang’s image through historical records and unearthed artifacts, noting that details of the book burnings and burying of scholars, as well as the actual provisions of Qin law, differ from conventional understanding. It also analyzes the political and cultural reasons behind his image as a tyrant.

Facts:
- In 213 BC, Chancellor Li Si proposed burning privately held copies of the Book of Songs, the Book of Documents and works of the various schools of thought. Books held by official court scholars, as well as practical works on medicine, divination and tree planting, were spared.
- Qin Shi Huang ordered the live burial of more than 460 people. Some scholars believe most of them were fangshi, or occult practitioners, making the incident somewhat different from later accounts of persecution of scholars.
- The Statute on Corvée Labor in the Shuihudi Qin bamboo slips records that delays of 3 to 5 days in reporting for labor service were reprimanded, while delays of more than 10 days incurred a fine of one suit of armor. Conscription could be waived in cases of weather conditions such as rain.
- The commonly cited account of the Qing dynasty’s compilation of the Siku Quanshu during the Qianlong reign says that more than 3,100 kinds of books, totaling about 150,000 volumes, were banned and destroyed.
- Emperor Wu of Han reigned for 54 years and waged wars abroad for many years. The Book of Han described the situation afterward as “the empire was depleted, and the population had halved.”
