If scholars had different ideas to Shi Huangdi, their ruler, he would gather books that contained ideas he didn't approve of and he would burn them. If scholars disagreed with him they were buried alive.

Shi Huangdi burned the books because he wanted the later generation to believe in him and not the fact about him most scholars did not like the idea since they didn't want later generations to believe in the wrong thing so they hid their books but they all knew that if the emperor knew that he will burn them alive. Some disguised themselves as farmers and left the country with their books. Most of the books will be burned but some were kept since Shi Huangdi approves to the story or information inside the story.
Most of you would think this is a bad thing but he might have also burned some books that will become a threat for todays life.
