从西汉时开始,就有人抨击秦朝独用法治而取缔其他各家学说的统治政策,认为秦始皇“焚书”、“坑儒”灭绝了除法家以外的诸子学说,其实,这种观点未免过于武断。因为法家思想虽然在秦朝有着源远流长的传统,秦始皇统一六国之后也确定了以法家学说作为统治的指导思想,但是秦朝并没有反儒的传统,秦始皇也并未明确表示取缔除法家以外的其他各家学说。终秦一代,儒学仍然存在,并且对秦朝统治者产生着一定影响。当然,由于没能得到统治者的支持,加之秦政府在学术思想上确实设置了一些制约性的框框条条,使得儒学发展缓慢且水平不高,此时期的儒学研究,只能算是儒学发展史上的一个过渡时期。 From the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, some people criticized the dictatorship of the Qin Dynasty for banning other schools of thought and thought that Qin Shihuang’s “burning books” and “pit Confucianism” exterminated the doctrines of Confucianism other than the division of law. In fact, This view is undoubtedly arbitrary. Although the legalist thought had a long tradition in the Qin Dynasty and the Sixth Central Committee established the guiding ideology of the legalists as the guiding ideology of the rule of law, the Qin dynasty did not have the tradition of anti-Confucianism. The First Emperor did not explicitly ban the division Other than the home of various schools of thought. The final Qin generation, Confucianism still exists, and the Qin Dynasty rulers have a certain impact. Of course, the lack of the support of rulers and the fact that the Qin government did set some restrictive frameworks in academic thinking made Confucianism develop slowly and at a low level. The study of Confucianism in this period can only be regarded as the history of the development of Confucianism A transitional period.
