How did the Qin Dynasty go from prosperity to extinction?
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the vassal states kept fighting, and the long-term war made people's lives miserable, and the people longed for peaceful reunification. At that time, Zhou Shi could not control the situation. The Warring States gradually became strong and unified through war. The social contradiction at that time was the contradiction between war and peace. The reform of Qin State is a unified choice. Through the reform, the war machine was mobilized to the maximum extent. Only by forcibly expelling manpower and material resources can Qin become strong. At that time, the "tyranny" of Qin did not make Qin perish, which is reasonable. The "Business Whip Reform" won the support of Qin people. Historical records record that "after ten years of travel, Qin people are very happy, the road is not left behind, there are no thieves in the mountains, and the family gives people enough." People are brave in public war, afraid of private fighting, and township governance. " Under the pressure of war, it is impossible to recuperate through the so-called "benevolent government." War is cruel. In order to survive, all war resources must be mobilized, and there must be military service and labor, which will eventually waste people and money. In a long-term war, it is even more necessary to mobilize all war resources for a long time. If "benevolent government" is used, manpower and material resources can not be mobilized to the maximum extent, and it will fail on the battlefield, which will eventually threaten the survival of the waiting country. War is the beginning and end of disaster. The desire for peace in human society means that the war must end. History chose Qin to end the separatist war. The reform of business whip came into being, which is the choice of the times. In the special environment of long-term war, history denied the so-called "benevolent government" and affirmed Qin's political reform.

However, after reunification, people's hearts have been fixed, and people are eager for peace and happiness. Social contradictions are no longer contradictions between war and peace, but contradictions between resistance and oppression. The people longed for a stable and harmonious environment, but denied the "tyranny" of the Qin Dynasty. The law of negation of negation reveals that the road of development of things is tortuous. Unification is the general trend and inevitable. Peace is the long-term result of history, and war is only the short-term result. Only under special circumstances. "Business Whip Reform" is the rationality of its existence. After the reunification of Qin dynasty, it did not change its policy in time, and still used the "business whip" to reform. Under the "tyranny", the people lived in poverty, which went against their wishes and was finally abandoned by history. History denies "Shang Whip Reform" and affirms "Benevolence" that the Chen Sheng Uprising changed the fate of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin dynasty forcibly mobilized manpower to build fortifications. The failure to arrive on time was severely punished according to Qin decrees, which led to the Chen Sheng Uprising. A single spark burned all over the country and brought anti-Qin forces. Under the strong resistance, the state of Qin perished. This is why the state of Qin perished after reunification, with quantitative and qualitative changes. Quantitative change and qualitative change are dialectical unity, and quantitative change is the premise and necessary preparation for qualitative change. The development of everything starts from quantitative change and accumulates to a certain extent, thus breaking through the boundary of degree and causing qualitative change of things. Before reunification, Qin's "quantity" refers to Qin land. After reunification, Qin's "quantity" refers to the whole country. Before reunification, Qin people were ruled by Qin for a long time, and their hearts were stable. However, after reunification, the people of the six countries have not been baptized by the Qin government, and it is difficult to accept the "tyranny" of the Qin state. The people's hearts are unstable and there is a potential turmoil crisis. "Historical Records" records the beginning of the reform spurred by the merchants: "During the Republic of China, there were more than a thousand people, so it is inconvenient to say." It can be seen here that in the early days of the political reform, the Qin people also resisted the political reform. The people of the six countries were ruled by Qin at first, and they also rebelled against the politics of Qin. After the war, people longed for a peaceful and stable life, and they were determined. However, Qin did not reflect, changed its policy and still used "tyranny". With the expansion of Qin's rule, the amount of resistance to Qin has also expanded, and Qin's politics has become more and more harsh. After reaching a certain level, qualitative change will occur. The oppressed people finally rose up against the Qin Dynasty, which collapsed under the uprising.

Society is constantly developing, and history is just the past. It is the inevitable result of the social and historical development that Qin unified first and then perished. After two thousand years of dynasty change, feudal society was finally eliminated, which proved that things developed in twists and turns and human society continued to develop. Actively understand the Qin dynasty, through dialectical analysis, there are both positive and negative, and oppose the view of "completely denying the Qin dynasty"
