Abstract

The article focuses on the rise of the Qin dynasty and its first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, who unified China from the fragmented states during the Warring States period. It details the early life of Ying Zheng, his regency under his mother and minister Lu Buwei, and the influential role of Li Si, a key adviser who helped implement military and administrative reforms. The article also discusses the Qin's military innovations, including the creation of a professional army and advanced weaponry, as well as significant infrastructure projects that laid the groundwork for future dynasties. Additionally, it highlights the enduring legacy of the Qin, particularly through the discovery of the Terracotta Army, which reflects the empire's ambition and the complexities of its historical narrative.
