At the beginning of the founding of Daqin, Qin Shihuang held an open-minded attitude towards a hundred schools of thought contending. The "doctor deliberation system" founded by Qin Shihuang absorbed the essence of the six countries, that is, participating in and discussing state affairs, setting up doctor officers and allowing doctor officers to participate in and discuss state affairs, thus forming a political group assisted by the Senate, with the aim of letting Qin culture blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. However, due to the intensified dispute between Qin Gong and Confucianism, there were even inappropriate remarks that mocked the emperor and threatened Qin Shihuang to rule the Qin Dynasty.
This forced Qin Shihuang to make up his mind to burn books and bury Confucianism, because the Qin Dynasty was ruled by legalists according to law and was forbidden by legalists such as Li Si and Shang Yang, so Qin Shihuang regarded magic as the main ideology of Daqin Empire.
In addition, although Qin Shihuang did burn books, most of them left manuscripts in Xianyang Palace and among the people. Burning books and burying Confucianism lost some precious historical materials collected by the Zhou royal family, but they are not necessarily true. According to historical records, Qin Shihuang buried "warlocks".
Second, Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall.
In many people's minds, the Great Wall is probably just a wall. The Great Wall is more than just a wall. The Great Wall in history is the most advanced military defense facility and traffic information network in ancient times. Even if there is no garrison on the Great Wall, the enemy can't climb it. Even if the enemy successfully climbed the Great Wall, how could horses, tents and equipment climb it?
If you don't climb, you want to bypass the Great Wall for hundreds of miles and capture the city. At this time, the bonfires of the Great Wall have already spread all over the border, and the cattle, sheep and people have already hid in the city, and the gates are closed, leaving the enemy with a "fart". In that era of cold weapons, the Great Wall was a nightmare for nomads. The Great Wall perfectly curbed the mobility of the powerful cavalry of the northern nomadic people, and we can only look at the ocean and sigh.
Northern Xinjiang of Daqin Empire has a long and long journey. If there is no Great Wall and only the army is used, I'm afraid the number of people needed is hard to estimate. But with the Great Wall, the country only needs a small number of mobile troops to cope with the general invasion. Although the Great Wall seems to cost a lot, it actually saves a lot of money. As the saying goes, "If you don't help the Great Wall, you will harm the land of the Central Plains."
Third, Qin Shihuang built Epang Palace and Qin Shihuang Mausoleum.
It is a waste of people and money to build Epang Palace and Qin Shihuang Mausoleum. However, in the history of China, there were too many emperors who made great efforts to build tombs and palaces for themselves, so they could not be regarded as typical tyrants.
There are many people who admire Alexander and Genghis Khan in later generations. The descendants of Alexander are now crowded in this tiny place of Macedonia. The descendants of Genghis Khan are now herding cattle and sheep in extremely cold places in the north, and Qin Shihuang made the Chinese nation realize the great unification for the first time. Since then, China has become a real whole, making China, an ancient country, stand among the nations of the world for more than two thousand years.
Since Qin Shihuang, no matter which ethnic minorities occupied the Central Plains in a short period of time, such as Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Di, Jie, Man and Mongolia, they were eventually assimilated by China, because Qin Shihuang laid the concept of the unification of China.
Creating an imperial system, unifying the six countries, centralization, county system, unified measurement, currency, building a straight road, building the Great Wall, conquering Vietnam in the north, attacking Xiongnu in the north, and opening up northern Xinjiang and southwest China, Qin Shihuang created a great civilization for China and left countless precious heritages for future generations. His achievement deserves to be an emperor through the ages!

Although the Qin Dynasty only lasted 15 years, the ruling mode established by Qin Shihuang continued. Qin Shihuang was the main designer of centralized feudal monarchy in China for more than 2,000 years, and his influence was far-reaching and extensive, which was unmatched by any other emperor. In the history of the world, many emperors created a huge empire, but their actual influence could not be compared with that of Qin Shihuang. ?
Historically, the population of China has accounted for more than 20% of the world's population. If it has an important influence on China, it can be regarded as an important influence on the world. Moreover, due to centralization and loyalty to the monarch, the emperor's influence on the history of China was far greater than that of many other countries. Thus, Qin Shihuang played a vital role in China and even the world.
