Who Killed Qin Shihuang: Disease, Elixir and Turmoil
by Tangshan
About This Novel
In ancient Chinese society where medical conditions were underdeveloped, even the most wealthy people and the supreme emperors could not escape the troubles of diseases. From the time when Qin Shihuang sought immortality and medicine, key figures who could single-handedly influence the development of history began to fight against diseases. Starting from the perspective of pathology, this book explores the connection between diseases, elixirs and historical turmoil, as well as the chain reactions caused by diseases and the choices made by key figures in the face of diseases. Everyone will get sick, and diseases are deeply embedded in history. However, we often look at the problem from the perspective of contemporary medicine and ignore the role of diseases in the historical process. The author tries to dig out the neglected details in historical records and provide readers with a new perspective on history.
