The Qin Empire Contended with Chu and Han
About This Novel
This book uses popular and humorous writing techniques to introduce the historical evolution of the Qin Dynasty in ancient Chinese history. The Qin Dynasty was the first unified dynasty in Chinese history that developed from the Qin State in the late Warring States Period. It lasted for three generations, with two emperors and one king, and the state lasted for fourteen years. The Qin Dynasty established an imperial system and a central official system represented by the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, abolished the feudal system and replaced it with the county system, completely breaking the Shiqing Shilu system since the Western Zhou Dynasty. It strongly safeguarded the unity of the country and strengthened the central government's control over local areas. It also promoted the unified cultural customs of traveling in the same track, writing in the same text, and practicing in the same order, which strengthened the cohesion of the unified nation and laid the foundation for the rule of the unified Chinese dynasty. Therefore, it is called "Qin's politics and law have been followed for a hundred generations." The Qin Dynasty ended the five hundred years of division and separatism among feudal lords since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and became the first centralized state in Chinese history that featured multi-ethnic integration.
