The First Emperor, the great emperor of all ages. With golden swords and horses, he swept across the six frontiers. Extinguishing the smoke of war, he unified the realm. Abolishing the feudal system, he centralized power. Establishing prefectures and counties, governance flowed smoothly. Unifying writing, standardizing measures. Casting bronze coins, promoting agriculture and commerce. Aligning chariots, building wide roads. Expanding into the Lingnan region, supporting farming and mulberry planting. Building the Great Wall, a solid defense. His five tours across the empire, drinking horses by the Yangtze River. His great talent and strategy, feared by all.
He passed away at Shaju, and the nation mourned. Carving mountains for his mausoleum, he lies in the land of springs. Eight thousand warrior statues, chariots and horses gleaming in gold. Promoting the Qin culture, showing strength for all ages. — Written on July 29, 2005, at the Great Sacrifice Ceremony of the Qin Mausoleum in Lintong, Shaanxi, by archaeologists, historians, and cultural experts of the province for the First Emperor.
