Qin Shi Huang

historical figure China

Qin Shi Huang, also known as the First Emperor of China, was the founder of the Qin dynasty and the first emperor to unify China in 221 BC. He is renowned for his ambitious projects, including the construction of the Great Wall of China and the establishment of a standardized system of weights, measures, and currency. His reign is marked by significant advancements in Chinese governance and infrastructure, but also by severe oppression and strict legalism. Qin Shi Huang is perhaps best known for the Terracotta Army, an incredible archaeological find that serves as his funerary complex, where thousands of life-sized statues were created to accompany him in the afterlife. His legacy is complex, reflecting both the brilliance and brutality of his rule.
