Want to say? Emperors of past dynasties? We are the first to mention Qin Shihuang, although the impression of Qin Shihuang in later generations is always the image of a tyrant. Burning books and burying Confucianism? It is the truest portrayal of his tyrant, but it is not comprehensive. The reason why Qin Shihuang did this was to unify culture and writing. If Qin Shihuang doesn't do this, even if the world is unified, there will be many people who refuse to accept the new dynasty and always want to restore the old dynasty, and this move has also promoted the development of society.

Besides, Qin Shihuang's achievements are unprecedented. He was a politician, strategist, reformer, and the first monarch in China to be called the emperor. Is it appropriate to evaluate him? Huang San's merits and demerits are better than those of five emperors? This sentence actually applies to him and there is no problem. Moreover, after the unification of the six countries, the Qin dynasty implemented many development measures that benefited the country and the people. First of all, it implements the system of "three publics and nine ministers" in order to let all departments manage state affairs separately and centralize imperial power.

At the local level, Qin Shihuang abolished the enfeoffment system and changed it to the county system, which greatly enhanced the management and communication of counties, and abolishing the enfeoffment system could also prevent the feudal princes from becoming kings and weaken the royal power. And a series of correct reform methods, such as a book, the same train, unified measurement, building the Great Wall of Wan Li, building canals and so on. And Bian Xiao thinks that Qin Shihuang can be called? Emperors of past dynasties? The reason is that Qin Shihuang's system has a far-reaching influence on later generations, especially the Han Dynasty, which is also a continuation of the Qin Dynasty system, even though later emperors are learning Qin Shihuang's system.
