History of China (Jin Dynasty)

 [Jin (,, B.C.221 ~ B.C.206)]

- The first unified dynasty became a symbol of oppression.

In 221 B.C., the entire China was unified in 221 B.C., as the autumn wind seemed to sweep away the fallen leaves and the six countries of the national era collapsed one after another. As such, the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world is recorded as the first unification in Chinese history, and for this reason, historians evaluate it as " laying the foundation for Mansae." And it was none other than the Si Emperor's portrait that laid this foundation.

The Qin Dynasty is the first centralized feudal empire in Chinese history.

The Qin Dynasty abolished the branching system from the Zhou Dynasty and instead held a county and prefectural system, so the center where the emperor was located had tremendous control over the provinces. In addition, Qin Shi Huang tried to overcome the Hunno people, build the Great Wall to secure the defense of the border, and to make numerous contributions for China by unifying text, currency, and metrology.

However, Qin Shi Huang did not see reality properly, so he thought that the rule of the Qin Dynasty would last forever like the sun. So he mobilized the power of the people excessively, which was essential for unification, but also exhausted the people. In addition, the people rioted and quickly destroyed the Qin Dynasty due to a series of tyranny and inability to form public opinion to challenge the emperor's authority by burning books and killing scholars.
