《论衡·卷二十八·正说篇》
秦始皇把淳于越的议论交给丞相府去评议，丞相李斯认为淳于越的建议不能采用，因此说诸生的议论在老百姓中造成了迷惑与混乱，就命令史官将五经全部烧掉，有敢于私藏诗书及百家著述的就判刑，只有博士官才能收藏五经。
秦始皇下其议丞相府，丞相斯以为越言不可用，因此谓诸生之言惑乱黔首，乃令史官尽烧《五经》，有敢藏诸书百家语者刑，唯博士官乃得有之。
The First Emperor gave Chunyu Yue’s discussion to the Prime Minister's office for review; Prime Minister Li Si believed that Chunyu Yue’s proposal could not be adopted, so he said that the scholars’ discussions had caused confusion and chaos among the people. He then ordered the historians to burn all five classics. Anyone who dared to privately possess the poems, books, or writings of any of the schools of thought would be sentenced to death. Only doctoral officials could possess the five classics.
