The Qin Dynasty unified China for the first time and established important standardized systems. The Qin emperor Qin Shi Huang created a strong centralized government and implemented policies like the construction of the Great Wall and the standardization of currency, measurements, and written language. However, Qin Shi Huang's harsh authoritarian rule and burning of books led to discontent and rebellion after his death, ultimately causing the fall of the short-lived Qin Dynasty.
a brief presentation about ancient Chinese history, inducing Chinese furniture, arts and crafts, designs, motifs, and ornamentations, windows and doors, and a few examples about architecture passed down through the centuries. Has an example of a modern Chinese design based on ancient Chinese beliefs and design.
The Qin Dynasty which emerged victorious over the 6 other major Kingdoms during âThe Warring Statesâ period in China was the first empire that unified what is now roughly modern China. More importantly, it standardized much of the concepts that affected daily life for its citizens, such as money, written language, roads, weights, and measures, and created the basis for the future Chinese role of emperors and the organization of the political structure that continued in its basic form until 1911. It also is credited with some of the greatest public works projects in human history such as the beginning of the Great Wall of China, canal building and irrigation projects, mass production techniques, the Terracotta Warriors of Xian, and a massive mausoleum project for the emperorâs body after death.

3. The Qin Dynasty
The Big Idea
The Qin dynasty unified China with a strong
government and a system of
standardization.
Main Ideas
⢠The first Qin emperor created a strong but
strict government.
⢠A unified China was created through Qin
policies and achievements.
6. ⢠Did you know? When
Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered
construction of the Great Wall
around 221 B.C., the labor force that
built the wall was made up largely of
soldiers and convicts. It is said that as
many as 400,000 people died during
the wall's construction; many of these
workers were buried within the wall
itself.

10. Origins of the Qin Kingdom
ďDuring the Zhou Dynasty, China was never a
unified kingdom.
ďThe Zhou government bore a strong
resemblance to some of the forms of feudalism
in medieval Europe, which is why the Zhou age
is sometimes referred to as a feudal age.
ďChina was composed of a network of city-states
loyal to the Zhou king, from which military
and political control spread over the
surrounding farming villages.
12/31/2020 jayaram@dsmc.edu.np 10
11. ďśAbout 771 BCE, a barbarian invasion
drove the Zhou rulers eastwards.
ďśDuring this time, the state of Qin became
responsible for guarding the western frontier
and they gradually moved eastward and
eventually occupied the original Zhou
domains.
ďśThus, the Qin became a close ally of the Zhou
and they also had marriage relations with the
Zhou ruling class.
ďśKing Ping of Zhou (770-720 BCE) transferred
titles of the nobility and huge estates to the
chief of Qin.
12/31/2020 jayaram@dsmc.edu.np 11
12. ďąMany Chinese historians consider this
event as pivotal for the state of Qin.
ďąThe Qin was, at that time, very aware of the
fact that they could be a great power.
ďąthese centuries spent fighting non-Chinese
tribes helped the Qin gain invaluable
experience in warfare and territorial
expansion.
ďąthe Qin had the advantage of a favourable
location:
ďąeast by mountains and the North China
plain through the Yellow River passes.
12/31/2020 jayaram@dsmc.edu.np 12
13. ďź The Qin had all of the resources and advantages
but what finally gave them victory over the other
states was their ruthlessness in battle.
ďź The Qin statesman Shang Yang (356-338 BCE)
advocated total war and a disregard for the polite
policies of battle.
ďź His lessons were implemented by Ying Zheng,
King of the Qin, who emerged victorious from the
Warring States Period and proclaimed himself Shi
Huangdi - `first emperor' - of China in 221 BCE.
ďź About 230 BCE, when the final campaign to unify
China began, it is estimated that the Qin
controlled one-third of all the land under
cultivation in China and one-third of Chinaâs total
population.

14. Achievements in the Qin Dynasty
o Early in the Qin Empire, the practice of
Legalism reached its peak in Chinese history.
o This idea of state policy was devised by Shang
Yang who came to Qin as a foreign advisor.
o During his time as a minister, Shang Yang
radically renovated the policies of government
but, in fact, he simply revived a practice which
was already present for years

15. Water Systems
⢠Massive government building projects
gave jobs to many poor workers.
⢠New roads were built and maintained to
provide easy access to and from these
buildings.
⢠Canals were built to connect rivers and
keep trade fast and efficient.
⢠Irrigation systems that are still in use
today watered the fields and made more
land good for farming.
Qin Achievements
Building Projects
17. Achievement
⢠Farmers were freed from serfdom and Shi
Huangdi reduced the power of the aristocracy.
⢠If a person did not behave according to the rules,
then others were required to report to him. If
they did not do this, they were quartered or
beheaded.
⢠Those who contributed the most to the state
were highly rewarded while those whose lives
were considered of no consequence were sent to
work as slaves on Shi Huangdi's building projects
18. Politics
⢠Shi Huangdi took
complete control
of the land and the
people.
⢠There was a strict
chain of command.
⢠Taxes and building
projects were
introduced.
Culture
⢠Shi Huangdi set up
a uniform system
of law.
⢠Rules and
punishment,
writing styles, and
money were
consistent across
China.
Unified China
Finance
⢠Gold and copper
coins were
standardized.
⢠Uniform weights and
measures help
standardize trade
and other legal
issues.
19. Erasing History
in 212 BCE, on the advice of his chief advisor Li Siu, Shi Huangdi had
scholars executed on a large scale
20. Erasing History
⢠Books were banned throughout the empire, as was
teaching, except for subjects touching upon re-
written history of the Qin Dynasty, Legalism, or the
personal glory of Shi Huangdi.
⢠It was not until the later Han Dynasty that books
were recovered from hiding and repaired, and
literacy was again available to the people of China.
12/31/2020 jayaram@dsmc.edu.np 20
21. Although Shi Huangdi and
Shang Yang's Legalism were
hated by many at the time it
helped to create a superior
army, a disciplined
bureaucracy, an obedient
populace, and the
unquestioned authority of a
strong central government.

Legacy of the Qin Dynasty
ďLegalism had a lasting effect on the entirety of Chinese history.
ďThe Qin Dynasty created the standard of bureaucratic
government and the Legalistic policies first initiated by the Qin
are still seen in China today.
ďIn addition, the dynasty left a wonder of ancient artwork: The
Terracotta Army in Xi'an.
ďThis tomb reflects the character of the Chinese emperor and his
unending desire to be immortal.
ďThe roads which today link the cities of China and the
countryside, the great wall and the grand canal is the heritage of
China that is the gift of Qin Dynasty to modern China.
25. 12/31/2020 jayaram@dsmc.edu.np 25
The End of the Qin Empire
ďź In the year 210 BCE emperor Shi Huangdi died on a
journey through the realm.
ďź The people were told that these trips were designed for
the inspection of the empire but later evidence suggests
that the emperor was looking for an elixir of immortality.
ďź In his later years, Shi Huangdi became obsessed with
death and the hope of eternal life.
ďź In constant fear of assassination, it is said, he never slept
in the same room of his palace two nights consecutively
and he ordered the construction of his elaborate tomb
early on in his reign.
26. ⢠Many scholars, peasants, and nobles grew resentful of Shi
Huangdiâs harsh policies and complete control.
⢠Upon the death of Shi Huangdi, the country began to unravel.
⢠Li Siu (c. 280â208 BCE), the then prime minister of the
recently deceased emperor, tried to hide the fact that Shi
Huangdi was deceased in any possible way.
⢠Rebel groups fought among themselves, and eventually the
Qin capital was burned to the ground.
⢠With no authority present, the country fell into civil war.
The Fall of the Qin:
The Oppressed Rise Up
27. ⢠Along with Zhao Gao (died 208/207 BCE), Li Siu
contrived to place Hu Hai on the throne.
⢠Hu Hai was the weak second son of Shi Huangdi.
⢠Due to the weakness of Hu Hai, the oppressed
people of China grew bolder and soon began to
revolt.
⢠The Imperial House was massacred and the Qin
Dynasty was thus at an end.
⢠Liu Bang emerged victorious following Xiang-Yu's
defeat at the Battle of Gaixia in 202 BCE. Liu Bang
(247 BCE- 195 BCE) , founded the Han Dynasty.
28. ďQin Dynasty was short lived, but it set the
standard for dynasties to follow. It was
overthrown by a peasant revolt which also
became a common vehicle for change to
future dynasties! It did unify the country
for the first time and standardized much
of everyday lifeâs important tools and
aspects for the Chinese people!
