A lot of chinese acknowleged he is 暴君 and subsided he is hero also. IMO he is hero and not 暴君.

HERO
秦始皇 able to start and finish his job (to unify china from seven states). This elimate killing from each other and form a big family.
He constructed a structure (长城) that continue stand still and continue appraised in world architect. This wall stopped threats coming from north at that years.
His 兵马 sculpture steal another shows in world stage.
His "All"房宫 still beneath ground whom 考古學家 believe that it is another great structure to be unfold.

暴君
Dealth tolls by contructing great wall for sure lesser than possible killings by north invaders. It stopped more cruel/pain in battle field in long years.
Infamous burning oif books/scholars incident, which has been criticized greatly by subsequent scholars [see note below]
His straight forwarding looking similar to today's Steve Job. The end of scarify is success (whom 秦始皇 truly demonstrated, per history).

NOTE: Paper not invented yet. Communcations/education passed on by embedded 竹/板 that result lesser people understand the situation. Scholars from all states started 宣傳. To stop this (in order to go forward) they must be killed (also not enough jail for them).

萬年兄, 高见高见
从人性的角度来讨论和评价 ~~~ yes. 秦始皇 is 残暴 to 焚书坑儒.
That's I want to look at him from another angle ........ 从政治和朝代更替或其他角度来讨论.

Also, 秦始皇 set 基礎 (in 15 years) to 漢,唐統治 1,000 years combine. Since, we noticed ourselves 漢人 or 唐人

朝代更迭,国家兴衰,表面视乎某一个或几个人起决定作用, 其实不然,它是有自己的客观发展规律的。~~~ Not much agree this. As I see it is determined by a "few" people in administration. If you want go further to this let's go to "蔣 and KMT/共產黨".

至于Confucius scholars 如何能主宰中国数千年,也是有它的客观规律决定的,存在就是合理  ~~~ Not much agree either. Chinese just not able to jump out from this. Western people has no Confucius that doesn't mean they are 不合理. [Western 思想 known by Chinese as early as 1600] You and me live in Canada that we noticed Confucius really pulling our ancestors' leg.

这是我个人观点,欢迎各位高见。

焚书坑儒 是何等残暴, 不只是杀人, 而是杀了人类的文化和历史遗产。 ~~~ Let's focus on this subject for now.

This happened 2,500 years ago. By that time no paper no printing no pen. Can you tell how many 儒 in China? One in hundred? Or one in Thousand?

秦始皇 unified 7 states then there are quite a large numbers of 儒 (non-秦) dislike him [not sure if you agree this?]. These group of 儒 became anti-government forces. They taugt ignorants and demand rebel/counter-fight. Conflicts became furious. {Don't you see this happen/repeat immediately after 清 collapsed. By that time we have 毛澤東 arised and won the final battle in mainland}

戰國時代, 刀劍 is everything. Human life is not much better than an animal. LAW/JAIL/JUDGE system is not developed. Dealth/kill is the only sentence. Not China alone. The whole WORLD is like this (including Europe and middle east). Of course it would be recorded as BAD thing by 儒 since. I would say it is a normal course in order to enrich power. And nothing extraordinary for 秦始皇 doing so (as he wants to chair as King onward).

As BenGor said ... 儒 always able to find a way back. By now, 孔子 is not perfect by today's philosophy. Good 儒 enrich building. Bad 儒 construct destruction.

HITLER .... A German. Don't you noticed German is one of the best 民族 in human. Why German follows HITLER? Do you want a SEPERATE subject for us to talk about?

秦始皇, he was a great leader & 暴君.
His contribution was unique, his rule of Law should be admired today.
After him, 2 thousand years of Cunfucius ideals has Chinese tilted towards more selfish, less aggressive,
more corruptive, unadventureous, uninnovative.
Let's looked at him from both angle.

Difficult question. The way I see it. He tried to accomplish too much in too little time. That would necessitate the use of force to suppress opposition. All progress is always met with opposition from vested interest.

Just by example, it would be as if the next mayor of Toronto tried to re-build the entire Gardener Expressway, drastically expand the subway system, repair or upgrade most of our city infrastructure, and do all this within one term of office.

清廷于康熙十二年(1673年)下令撤藩。吴三桂闻讯后叛清。自称周王、联合平南王世子尚之信、靖南王耿精忠及广西将军孙延龄、陕西提督王辅臣等以反清复明为号召起兵反清,挥军入桂、川、湘、闽、粤诸省,战乱波及赣、陕、甘等省,史称三藩之乱,康熙十七年(1678年),吴三桂在湖南衡州称帝,国号大周,建元昭武。其本人也开始蓄发,改穿明朝衣冠。同年秋在长沙病死 。其孙吴世璠 继位 ,退据云南 。康熙二十年(1681年)昆明被围,吴世璠自杀,余众出降。吴三桂的子孙后代被彻底杀光。包括襁褓中的婴儿。《清史稿》有吴三桂本传。

"吴三桂的子孙后代被彻底杀光。包括襁褓中的婴儿" is really cruel. It done purposely.

Art of cruelty that era includes 斬頭, 五馬分屍. Even back to 20,000 years ago you probably heard 人吃人. Today 2014, even kick/hit a cat is against law (see u in jail). Just back to 2,500 years ago human life is just a little better than animals. A large portion of human wasn't educated. They knew only work and eat. By that time justice/law system doesn't exist. Whoever holding a sword then he represent law.

Without telephone/internet 秦始皇 not know what had happened thousand miles away. Each group (thousand of them whom are leading hundreds of slaves) leader(s) work their own to carryout the mission/job. Some of them kind and some of them evil. A lot of people die (not killed). Of course 秦始皇 could not erase claim of 不知者不罪.
In such short period of time to carryout such large amount of work (including govern people in 7 states). I would say it is BAD planning rather than cruel. The worst case is that he burned books and killed scholars. That makes him being recorded not as bad as 康熙 (mentioned above).
From today's angle no doubt 秦始皇 is 邪恶 in human history. During 茶餘饭后 it is not a bad idea for 2nd review to this 暴君?

暴君: Is a person whom contains power and fond of killing (whomever against his will).
邪恶: Is a subject not in line of normal course. The derailment ends up disaster/death/bad and unacceptable.

He unified the monetary system, writings, ...
Without him, how much longer will "ancient Chinese" take to be unified?
"Iron fist" is the easiest way to achieve what he wanted to achieve.

The opposite is like Toronto, should we build subway?
Study -> vote -> decision -> new government -> repeat cycle
When I was a student in early 80s, already there's talked about subway to York U.  I think when I retired, it is still "in progress".  If 秦始皇 was here, it will be done in "short time"!

好奇兄  ~~ . Glad to know you can see BAD and GOOD side of a "thing/person".

"Iron fist" is the easiest way to achieve what he wanted to achieve : All achievement built upon scarifice.
Brought down trees/dig up ground ------ to build road/house.
Invest time/money in school ------ to obtain education.
Burn coal (污染 air) ------ for energy to heat houses or turn-on machines.
One signle 清場 in 天安門 on 1989-Jun 04 ------ End/last from happen again.

秦始皇 is not really that BAD in his 15 years of power. I am not saying he is GOOD but just saying he is not that bad. If you can find/see his GOOD side that means you are albe to see THINGS/PERSONS from all angles.

That's why I like the movie "Hero" by Jet Li.  It showed one side of 秦始皇 that rarely being discussed.  Since in Form 1 in HK, we learned that he is a 暴君!  All we highlighted are the bad things about him and then we learned about all the good things about other emperor such as Lau Bong, (sorry never learned how to type Chinese).  That's unfair.  Both has done GOOD and BAD things.  Why we have to label one as being a 暴君 and the other is a good emperor.  

I am not sure if  he "killed our culture our history" as Happypooning said.  To me, he just created another culture (or unified most of the culture centered, of course, around his own idea).  At the end, it shaped part of the current Chinese culture.

The burning of books & burial were mainly against the un-compromising Confucius scholars.
This were common practice to silence opposition in ancient times. However, the later
Confucius scholars that eventually ruled China for 2,000 years, reacted in turning
the great Emporor into the biggest tyrant in history. But he was definitely onr
of the most capabale.
China should never allowed the Confucius scholars to dominate the everyday life
for over 2,000 years. Time to share other ideas!

this is too serious to get into it today, due to the amazing weather, i have sperms rushing to my head, my brain is overflooded with cute mms, and nice cleavage, n yoga bum..

but i do want to point out one thing, the idea 儒 always able to find a way back bothers me quite a bit. i do agree, it will find its back, however, we are wasting so much time, that's why we always have to start from scratch. it's about opportunity cost. i hate to see chinese compete, we need to collaborate, rather than compete with one another.

我们说一个人残暴与否, 是从人性的角度来讨论和评价人或事。

残暴和有所作为并不矛盾, 残暴者可以有所作为, 亦可庸庸璐璐。从同一角度讨论或评价同一个人或事,才会有比较和鉴别。

兄台是从政治和朝代更替或其他角度来讨论秦始皇,如果从这个角度说,成王败寇, 历史上,为了争夺皇位,可以弑兄弑弟弑父弑母,绝无人性可言,我们也不会从人性的角度来评价。

朝代更迭,国家兴衰,表面视乎某一个或几个人起决定作用, 其实不然,它是有自己的客观发展规律的。
没有人能阻挡历史的车轮, 至于Confucius scholars 如何能主宰中国数千年,也是有它的客观规律决定的,存在就是合理的, 至少在特定的时代或时段。
这是我个人观点,欢迎各位高见。

Not intended to add but to provide suppliments from yesterday's rush (opinion).
从政治和朝代更替或其他角度来讨论..... yes. 秦始皇 is 残暴 to 焚书坑儒
First, we must agree that 秦始皇 is an ambitious person. [ambitious not necessary 残暴]. Combined with his personal forward looking constructions 焚书坑儒 just happened being part of the progress. Killing is not his intent IMO.

I, myself, raised in 香港 for 30+ years. Deeply influenced by Confucius. Therefore Confucius = 存在就是合理. After nearly 20 years here in Canada [particularily seeing my children grown up gradually] I noticed I must change. [Not necessary 君>臣. 父>子]. This sight also provide me an extra angle to see/understand "things" from reverse side.

欢迎各位高见

I kind of disagree, they fit the needs of feudal dynasties, forging a rigid society that dis-encourage
risk taking, thinking outside their establishment. The Empirors ensure their high standing.
Like the bishops of ancient Europe. Today both are still useful, but no longer dictate how
society work.
We need to look at Confucius with lesser emphasis.

这是我个人观点.
