About This Novel
"The Three Kingdoms of Qin and Han: A Long Song of Unification and Fission" --A historical narrative that combines intrigue, war, and the evolution of civilization #### **Prologue: From Split to Unification-The Rise of the Qin Empire** In 221 BC, King Yingzheng of Qin ended more than 500 years of strife in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period with the power of "sweeping across Liuhe" and established the first centralized unified dynasty in Chinese history. Qin Shihuang's achievements lay not only in military conquests, but also in institutional innovation: he abolished the feudal system, implemented the county system, divided the world into thirty-six counties, and appointed officials directly from the central government; he unified writing (small seal script), currency (half a tael with a round square hole), weights and measures, and even road width ("cars on the same track"), so that "books with the same text, cars with the same track, and travel with the same principles" became the foundation of Chinese civilization. However, Qin's tyranny - harsh punishments, burning books and humiliating Confucian scholars, and labor in Afang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum - eventually ignited the fire of resistance. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up in Daze Township and shouted, "Princes, generals, ministers, and ministers have their own kind." This kicked off the peasant uprising in the late Qin Dynasty.
