The root of tyranny
To say that the source of Qin Shihuang's tyranny is nothing more than two administrative characteristics of Qin Shihuang's period:
First, Qin's exclusive admiration for the legalist system made the Qin law too harsh and inhuman, and the people of the six countries could not stand such harsh laws, which led to the later peasant uprising.
The second is to waste people's money and send large-scale labor to repair the Great Wall, canals, tombs, palaces and so on. The people of the six countries were deprived of the opportunity to recuperate, and finally many people at the bottom began to break out in silence because of an "opportunity" shortly after the death of Qin Shihuang.
Modern flap theory
In fact, what we want to turn over now is, is Qin Law really so inhuman? In the past, we could only speculate according to historical books, but with the excavation of Qin bamboo slips in Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land and Liye Qin bamboo slips in Hunan Province, the understanding of Qin law has been greatly impacted.
These unearthed Qin bamboo slips show that Qin law is not so inhuman as the legend, on the contrary, it is quite humanized in some places, so there is a question that Qin Shihuang is really so tyrannical.
Right and wrong conclusions
In fact, I personally think that the most important thing in Qin Shihuang's politics is to make progress, regardless of the feelings of the people. Excessive consumption of people's labor, etc. After fighting for so long, the people finally hope for peace and like a peaceful life. As a result, they either joined the army or worked as laborers to repair various facilities.
This kind of life, the people of Qin are used to it, but the people of the six countries are not used to it, so it is called "tyranny" by the people of the six countries. But in some ways it does belong to the category of tyranny. Therefore, Qin perished shortly after the death of Qin Shihuang, and the Han Dynasty inherited and developed the Qin law, but it flourished again. So it's obvious where the mistake is.
