His father is the son of Qin. Although he was born in the royal family, he was sent as a "proton" to the state of Zhao, which was hostile to Qin. Ying Zheng was born in Zhao, where he lived alone for nine years.
His childhood had a great influence on his life, and the controversial measures he took after the reunification of the six countries also had a lot to do with his personal experience.
For more than 2,000 years, Qin Shihuang was regarded as a tyrant by most people, and people criticized him for burning books and burying Confucianism, repairing the Great Wall, building palaces extensively and building great buildings. However, some people praised him as an "emperor of past dynasties" and affirmed his contribution to unification, unified measurement and establishment of Chinese territory.
Qin Shihuang thought his contribution was better than that of the previous Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and adopted the titles of "Emperor" and "Emperor" of Huang San. He was the first monarch to use the title of "Emperor" in the history of China, so he called himself "the first emperor".
However, in the later period, Qin Shihuang sought immortality, abused the people and stifled their wisdom, which shook the ruling foundation of the Qin Dynasty. In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang died in Xingtai sand dunes on his way eastward.

Qin Shihuang is known as the first emperor through the ages, and he deserves it. Qin Shihuang made two unparalleled historical contributions: one was to unite the country; The second is national integration.
The cohesion of the country is reflected in the fact that Qin unified the whole country, ended the feudal vassal regime, implemented the county system, and established a unified feudal centralized and autocratic system, which had a far-reaching impact on China feudal society and lasted for thousands of years. National integration is reflected in the vast territory of Nanman, Dongyi, Beidi and Xirong, and it has become the Han nationality.
And through the same track, the same book, the same degree, the same route, deepen national integration, fundamentally avoid national division, and make unity one of the main characteristics of Chinese culture. British historian Toynbee pointed out that there have been 2 1 civilized societies in human history, China is the only one that has survived to this day, and China is the most complete sample of the characteristics of civilization.
And this great achievement comes from the "unified culture". Unifying China is the great historical achievement of Qin Shihuang. Since then, the high integration of Legalist regime thought and Confucianism has maintained the situation of national unity. It has always been an important basis for China people to praise or criticize historical figures.
