Qin Shihuang was named Ying Zheng. He was the first emperor of China, and a legendary and epoch-making figure in the history of China. Such a famous figure, his childhood is very unfortunate.
His father makes a son of Qin State. Although he was born in a king's house, he was sent to Zhao State, which was hostile to Qin State, as a "proton" when he was young. Ying Zheng was born in Zhao, where he lived a lonely life for nine years.
His childhood had a great influence on his life, and the controversial measures he took after the unification of the six countries were also closely related to his personal experience.
For more than 2, years, Qin Shihuang was regarded as a tyrant by most people, and people criticized him for burning books, burying Confucianism, repairing the Great Wall, building palaces extensively, and building great buildings. However, some people praised him as "the emperor of all ages" and affirmed his contribution to the unification, unified measurement and the establishment of Chinese territory.
Qin Shihuang thought that his contribution was better than that of the previous three emperors and five emperors, and he adopted the title of "Emperor" of san huang and the title of "Emperor" of the five emperors. He was the first monarch to use the title of "Emperor" in the history of China, so he called himself "the first emperor".
However, in the later period, Qin Shihuang sought immortality, abused the people, strangled the people's wisdom, and shook the foundation of Qin Dynasty's rule. In 21 BC, Qin Shihuang died in Xingtai Dune on his way to the east.
expanded information
Qin Shihuang is known as the first emperor of the ages and deserves it. Qin Shihuang had two unparalleled historical contributions: first, the country was condensed; The second is national integration.
The national unity is reflected in the fact that Qin unified the whole country, ending the feudal vassal regime, implementing the county system, and establishing a unified feudal centralized autocracy, which had a far-reaching impact on the feudal society in China and lasted for thousands of years. National integration is embodied in the vast territory of Nanman, Dongyi, Beidi and Xirong, and has become a Han nationality.
By sharing the same track, writing the same text, making the same degree and doing the same thing, we can deepen national integration, fundamentally avoid national division, and make unity one of the main characteristics of China culture. British historian Toynbee pointed out that there have been 21 civilized societies in human history, China is the only society that has survived to this day, and China society is the most complete sample of civilized characteristics.
and this great achievement comes from the "unified culture". The unification of China was a great historical achievement of Qin Shihuang. Since then, the high integration of legalist political power thought and Confucian ideology has maintained the situation of national unification. It has always been an important basis for China people to praise or criticize historical figures.
