- Censorship and book burnings are nothing unusual in pre-modern China. Generally speaking, the intentions behind them were the following: In the first place the elimination of records which did not fit into the image of the past and the present an emperor wanted to establish. This pertains to records by scholars, but also official records from earlier dynasties, e.g. Furthermore, by destroying writings of specific philosophical schools. Normally the one thing accompanied the other when the point was to enforce an official view. And it goes without saying that in doing so book burnings occasionally played a role. This contribution analyses the intentions behind the book burnings and literary inquisitions of 213 B.C.E and of the 18th century under Qianlong and their consequences for China’s cultural history and history of ideas.
