54.26

In the thirty-fourth year of the First Emperor of Qin, Chancellor Li Si requested that the Odes, the Documents, and the discourses of the Hundred Schools be indiscriminately burned, and that anyone speaking privately about the Odes and Documents be executed in the marketplace. In the thirty-fifth year, because the scholars spoke in slander, the Emperor personally purged four hundred and sixty men who violated the prohibitions and buried them alive in Xianyang.
