Ying Qin: a Misunderstood Dynasty

They were the horse-raising slaves of the Zhou royal family, and were contemptuously called "Qin Yi". They fought their way out of the bloody battle between the Dog and Rong in the western border, and completed the counterattack from vassals to princes, and from princes to emperors in six hundred years. What kind of people were the ancestors of Qin Shihuang? Are they immigrants from Dongyi who migrated south, or are they the Rong tribe from Longyou? Why are the records in Tsinghua bamboo slips completely opposite to those in handed down documents? The tomb of Qin Gong in Dabaozi Mountain, the royal sacrificial site in Sijiaoping... Archeology is uncovering the truth that has been sealed in dust for three thousand years. Based on new archaeological discoveries in the past two decades, this book restores an ethnic epic obscured by the label "violent Qin".
