Features: This book is one of "Illustrated History of China," introducing the rise of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin emerged from the northwest, dominated the Central Plains, unified the six kingdoms, and left a legacy that lasted for millennia. However, the Qin Dynasty was also a fleeting moment in history. Through the introduction in this book, you can form your own opinions on the pros and cons of the Qin Dynasty. The six kings were completed, and the four seas were unified. The Qin people, rising from the wilderness, rode across the Central Plains, bathed in blood and drank swords, giving birth to the magnificent Qin Empire. Establishing commanderies and counties, standardizing writing, and aligning chariot tracks laid the foundation for imperial unification; touring the four directions,,, proclaiming their achievements to the heavens and the seas; teaching by law and using officials as teachers, bureaucratic politics reached unprecedented heights. Ying Zheng's talent was remarkable, but his governance of the people could also be considered cruel. He built the Great Wall to the north and conquered the Baiyue to the south, causing the people to toil endlessly; his harsh laws and resistance to old customs made the world resemble the Qin for a long time. The magnificent Epang Palace and the towering Lishan Mountain finally witnessed the fall of the Qin.
