Ying Zheng, more commonly known as Qin Shi Huang, or the First Emperor of Qin (Dynasty) was the first emperor of China, and was born during the Warring States Period in Han. Later on, he moved to Qin, the largest Warring State, about as big as the rest combined, where, suprisingly, he became king. There he organized the Terra-Cotta Army, which he used to conquer the other five states, and became king, or emperor, of them all. Soon he built the Great Wall of China, which was repaired by the Ming Dynasty. He had a son named Fusu, which he later banished to the Northern Wilds. He maintained power through harsh rule, and would bury alive any scholars who disagreed with him, along with burning their books. Once he died, he was buried in his tomb with a statue of every single Terra-Cotta Warrior, who were believed to protect him in the afterlife. His tomb was later found by a farmer digging a well. After he died, some people went to visit Fusu, who they told that his father had ordered him to suicide. Believing them, he did it, and “The Second Emperor of Qin” seized power, and after him, Emperor Ziying, who ended the Qin Dynasty, the least successful and shortest dynasty of China. Qin Shi Huang is now considered one of the tyrants of ancient history, such as Nero and Julius Ceasar. China is among the only ancient superpowers that remain intact. Unlike Alexander the Great’s empire and Rome, it still remains one place up to this day.
