Li Si was a strong supporter of legalism and served as the Grand Counselor to Emperor Shi Huangdi (259-210
BCE) in China, In this passage, Li Si is responding to a scholar who has challenged the Emperor's movement
away from traditional values,
... "I humbly propose that all historical records but those of Chin [Qin] be burned. If anyone who is not a court
scholar dares to keep the ancient songs, historical records or writings of the hundred schools, these should be
confiscated and burned by the provincial governor and army commander. Those who in conversation dare to
quote the old songs and records should be publicly executed; those who use old precedents [examples] to oppose
the new order should have their families wiped out; and officers who know of such cases but fail to report them
should be punished in the same way,
Based on the excerpt above, identify Li Si's point of view.
Medicine, divination, and agriculture are the most important topics to study.
Traditional values are a threat to Shi Huangdi's power
Building the Great Wall is a reward for studying important topics.
