The first emperor in ancient times
During the Warring States period, most governors arrogantly called themselves kings, honoring King Zhou as the "King of Heaven". Ying Zheng, king of Qin, unified China, thinking that he was "a Huang San with both ability and political integrity, and made contributions to the five emperors", and created the word "emperor" as the official title of the supreme ruler of China.
Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng was the first emperor in China, calling himself the "first emperor". From then on, "Emperor" replaced "Emperor" and "King" and became the title of the supreme ruler of feudal society in China for more than two thousand years.
Qin Shihuang was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao. He succeeded to the throne at thirteen and became emperor at thirty-nine. He reigned for 37 years. China is a famous politician, strategist and reformer in history, and also the first iron-fisted politician to complete the reunification of China.
