When Qin Shihuang burned books to bury Confucianism, what was the only well-preserved book that can be seen all over the street now?

In the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang made a decision to burn books and bury Confucianism in order to unify the people's thoughts throughout the country. This incident had a great influence at that time, because many books and many precious copies were burned. No matter at that time or later, people can't be in a state of learning, and they can only explore on their own. But the only books that have survived are Japanese books, which have a great influence on people's lives.

As an emperor, I think Qin Shihuang still has a long-term vision. He didn't burn all the books blindly. He left behind books that can meet the daily needs of the people, just like Japanese books, because Japanese books are books that record time, and their function is like the contemporary yellow calendar, which is used to record the 24 solar terms, or the customs of solar terms, when and what to do to avoid risks.

Because of this book, people will choose a good day when planning a birthday party or when there is a big happy event at home. Because the level of knowledge at that time was not high, the people believed in ghosts and gods or some taboos, so they all chose a good day. Not only did ancient people do this, but now people will seek a good day when they get married and move, praying for good luck, without too many mistakes.

Although this decision stopped the level of knowledge at that time, fortunately, Qin Shihuang kept some books to meet the needs of the people. But I think even if Qin Shihuang burned all the books, people's lives will continue. Life will not disappear with the disappearance of books, but knowledge will still be recorded.
