Shi Huangdi: Hero or Villain?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0gT2d-znwc&feature=fvw

Harsh Qin Rule First ruler of new empire took title Shi Huangdi, “first emperor” Unified China with help of two advisors, Hanfeizi and Li Si Founded school of Legalism Taught that powerful, efficient government key to maintaining order

Rejection of Confucianism Legalists rejected philosophy developed during Zhou dynasty Confucianists thought rulers should be virtuous, lead by example Legalists said rulers should be strong, govern through force Supported strict laws, stressed harsh punishment for even minor crimes

Maintaining Order Shi Huangdi ruthlessly suppressed all criticism of his rule Ordered burning of books which conflicted with Legalist thinking Only books on practical subjects like agriculture, medicine spared Confucian scholars who discussed banned books, criticized Qin government tortured, killed

Strong, Centralized Government Shi Huangdi weakened rival nobles by taking land Forced nobles to move to capital so he could watch them Seized all private arms to prevent rebellions Divided China into 36 districts, appointed loyalists to govern them
