  • 220 BCE

    Shi Huangdi

    The first emperor was Shi Huangdi. Confucius was a group who thought humanity was good. The Legalists said the opposite. Shi Huangdi was with the Legalists, and he hated the idea that some disagree with him. He ordered that all books that contain Confucius’ way of life to be burned, and then if people were to mention it or disagree with him, he would have them executed; hundreds of people were killed while he ruled. Also, Shi Huangdi was the one who made the terracotta army to protect himself.
