Qin Shi Huang
What is the influence of the Qin Dynasty?
Qin Shihuang was the first unified dynasty in the history of China. After the fierce struggle of VI, the six countries east of Yishan were gradually eliminated, and the king of Qin claimed to be the first emperor. Then to the north, he attacked the Huns in the north and ordered Meng Wei to connect the original Great Walls of the six countries to build the Great Wall. In the south, Tu Youyou and Zhao Tuo were ordered to lead 500,000 Qin Jun expeditions to the south, dig Lingqu and establish Guilin and Xiang Jun. It also implemented a unified Chinese culture, abolished the enfeoffment system, established a county system to manage the country, and strengthened the ruling power of the central government. By ruling the country according to law, the concept of "The Emperor breaks the law, while Shu Ren is guilty of the same crime" is established.
the Great Wall
Generally speaking, geographically, the Qin Dynasty established the core geographical circle of Chinese civilization by constantly conquering and unifying six countries and expanding north and south. Repairing the Great Wall provided a very important barrier for the farming regime in later dynasties to resist the nomadic people in the north, and also prevented the nomadic people from invading the south of the Great Wall. Just as the Northern Song Dynasty lost 60 states of Yanyun in the Great Wall, it was hanged by Liao and Jin countries in turn, so it had to pay "old coins" to survive.
The excavation of Lingqu makes the shipping and transportation from Xiangjiang River to Lijiang River very convenient, and also makes the land of South Vietnam firmly in the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that Vietnam was able to break away from the long-term Central Plains dynasty and establish its own country. Today, the Great Wall and Lingqu have been preserved, and the Great Wall is listed as "one of eight wonders of the world". Culturally, the unified culture of the Chinese nation has been established. If the Han Dynasty established the Chinese nation as the Han nationality, it is better to say that the Qin Dynasty established a stable foundation for the unification of Chinese culture and customs. In the system, the enfeoffment system was replaced by the county system, which was basically used by later generations, and the situation that the enfeoffment system brought too little central power was abandoned.

Why did Qin Ershi die?
For the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang was a man who knew how to use people, while Qin Ershi and Hu Hai were people who only knew how to have fun and could not use people. Many people think that Qin died of tyranny, but they don't think so. Qin Shihuang organized hundreds of armies in the south, built the Great Wall in the north and overhauled Epang Palace, and there was no major rebellion. The rebellion took place in Qin Ershi, which began with the uprising of Chen Sheng in Guangwu and ended with the rebellion of the old nobles in six Shandong countries. As a result, the gap between the first generation and the second generation in knowledge and employment, as well as the rapid reform of the new dynasty, some systems failed to be recognized by people at that time.

What influence did the Sui Dynasty have?
The Sui Dynasty was a dynasty in which China was reunified after five chaos. The Sui Dynasty was established through the surrender of Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. In order to obtain more talents, the "Nine-grade Zheng Zhi System" was abolished, and the imperial examination system, which had been used by feudal dynasties for thousands of years, was established, so that many children of ordinary people joined the giants and created a more splendid culture for China. And the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which runs through the north and south, was dug, so that the grain and grass from the south were continuously transported to the north and the long-term rule of the northern regime was maintained.
Emperor Yang Di went down to Jiangnan.
Generally speaking, the imperial examination system enables culture to spread widely among the people, which is no longer the patent of the nobility. More interestingly, the imperial examination system is also the predecessor of the college entrance examination system. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal provided a good trade exchange for ancient times with inconvenient transportation, and played a role as a bridge to maintain exchanges between the North and the South. Even in the modern Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it is still playing the role of transportation.

Why did Sui Dynasty die in II?
For the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty played a positive role in recuperation. After Emperor Yang Di, he repeatedly attacked North Korea and overhauled the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which triggered the "Shandong Civil Rebellion" uprising and finally won the world with Li Yuan, the representative of Longxi Group. Throughout history, many dynasties had civil strife, but why couldn't the Sui Dynasty hold on? One is the imperial examination system, which dispelled the rule of Longxi Group over the upper class of the dynasty, the overhaul of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the three signs of North Korea. After the uprising, the minister's disappointment with the dynasty led to Yang Di being killed by Yu Wenhuaji.
Tail language perception
There are many similarities between the two dynasties. They all ended the turmoil and split to form a unified dynasty. They carried out various reforms, perfected the system of China Dynasty, mended the geographical defects of China, and made great contributions to China in later generations. However, due to quick success and quick reform, it touched the interests of the old forces and failed to escape the short-lived fate. What a pity!
