Discover the incredible story of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of China, in this powerful video summary. From a young ruler of the Qin state to the unifier of the fragmented Warring States, Qin Shi Huang reshaped Chinese history with unmatched ambition, ruthless strategy, and revolutionary reforms.
In this video, we explore how Qin Shi Huang rose to power, defeated rival kingdoms, and proclaimed himself the First Emperor in 221 BCE. His reign marked the birth of imperial China, introducing a centralized bureaucracy, standardized currency, unified writing, weights and measures — innovations that still influence China today.
You'll learn about his massive infrastructure projects, including the early construction of the Great Wall and the building of an extensive network of roads and canals. We also dive into the mystery and scale of his Terracotta Army, built to guard his grand mausoleum — one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in history.
But Qin Shi Huang’s legacy is not without controversy. His rule was marked by strict Legalist policies, book burnings, and suppression of dissent. Despite this, he remains one of the most influential figures in world history — a visionary whose dream was to create a unified, eternal empire.
