He feared the power of books and that they were a threat to his power. So one day he ordered the burning of books. Paper wasn't invented yet, so books were only a bundle of bamboo strips. So the the books were burned and thousands were lost in the bonfire of books.
The emperor was buried with 7,000 life-sized clay soldiers thinking that they would protect him when he died. None of the clay soldiers faces were the same. About 300,000 workers built the emperor's tomb.
