Today, the places where Qin Shihuang was attacked the most are the ones mentioned in our textbooks: Xiuling, Epang Palace, Great Wall and Brahma Book Pit. But his profound contribution to the Chinese nation is generally invisible. For any historical figure, I can't just stand in today's cultural society and current social morality to evaluate. Many things will be fundamentally opposed to the original things after development, and it is impossible to judge the right or wrong of a king only by the right or wrong concept of ordinary people. This is entirely a qualitative level. We should not only look at the social development and historical evolution of everything he did, but also evaluate right and wrong and merits and demerits with the moral concept and social background at that time.
Let's analyze what he did at that time:
Repair the mausoleum. In the ancient historical cycle between the family and the world, this is what any dynasty, any emperor and any general will do, and what any monarch will do is just on a different scale, but when it comes to Qin Shihuang, it becomes a tyrant's story. As the first emperor to unify China, Qin Shihuang, the great China, achieved real reunification from him for the first time and expanded its territory. As an emperor, one's own mausoleum must be bigger and better than others'. At that time, his mausoleum, Epang Palace and the Great Wall all used the same model. Many people died while repairing the mausoleum and Epang Palace. Later, when there were not enough models, the local government went against the will of the central authorities and slowly used light models. Later, it was not enough. In order to complete the task, the local authorities arrested people. Later, Fu Su, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang, visited the people, and after knowing this situation, he reflected the situation to Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang ordered the mausoleum and Epang Palace to stop working. So that the last mausoleum was not started until the death of Qin Shihuang, and it was not completed in the end, and so was Epang Palace. However, at that time, there was nothing wrong with the emperor repairing the mausoleum. Repairing with a model worker means that our labor reform today is the same, but under the living conditions at that time, there was a big death under the oppression of the supervisor, which was never inevitable in such a big project. Even in today's humane society, the United States is abusing model workers, and they also violate the wishes of Qin Shihuang. It was right or wrong to build a mausoleum in the society at that time, but today it is a great wealth of the Chinese nation. Today, his mausoleum left us the biggest "treasure" in China, not a treasure in general. Its influence is far-reaching and should be eternal. And those Confucian scholars are already chaotic elements relative to Qin dynasty, no matter which country or dynasty will take action. This kind of state behavior is certainly right, but the Brahma book has been unified from another negative culture more quickly, and it also has its positive and negative effects.
After watching Qin Shihuang's "crossing", look at Qin Shihuang's merits and demerits. Qin Shihuang unified China and unified culture. This alone has done more credit than any other emperor. Why in China's long history, no matter how many divisions, it will eventually move towards reunification? Why? Because of their common roots, Qin Shihuang unified China, unified writing, unified measurement and unified currency. These are very far-reaching for the great integration of social nationalities and the development of society! Unify writing, thus unifying culture and national roots. Therefore, in the future social development, China will eventually be unified anyway, which is the reason. You don't have to worry about the problem of Taiwan Province Province, but it will eventually be unified, because everyone has a common root.
Build Dujiangyan and Zheng Guoqu. Let the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and Hanzhong area become rich from then on, which greatly promoted the low social productivity at that time. With the rapid development of agriculture, Qin is an agricultural society, and numerous large and small water conservancy projects have been built all over the country.
In addition, there are some sections of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and its basic prototype Lingqu, which are equivalent to the straight road of today's expressway. Let domestic goods flow unimpeded. It has greatly promoted social and economic development.
Everything that Qin Shihuang lived in, the great cause of reunification, the unity of words, the unity of culture, the unity of measurement and the unity of currency; The Epang Palace, the Great Wall, Zhilu, Dujiangyan, Zheng Guoqu, Lingqu and Beijing-Hangzhou Canal were all built for the development of the Chinese nation, which has made great efforts to this end. Qin is a country that values agriculture and martial arts, which is different from the later Confucian mean ignorant. It is precisely because of this reconciliation thought of Confucianism that there have been several tragic and bloody historical stages in history. Yuan, Qing and Japan invaded China (the Yuan Dynasty certainly killed several times more Han people than the Japanese). It's a pity that the history of the Qin Dynasty is too short to develop this spirit, otherwise there would not be such a tragic history, and even if there was, it would be our massacre of other races. The most regrettable thing is the way of governing the country practiced by the Qin Dynasty. At that time, the Qin Dynasty practiced the rule of law. At that time, his administrative system was close to today's constitutional monarchy. If the Qin dynasty can go further, this system will be well inherited, and the development of the Chinese nation will inevitably be another scene. It is precisely because of the brevity of the Qin Dynasty that later emperors did not dare to carry out such reforms, did not dare to implement the rule of law, and all practiced Confucian moderation and ignorance. Get rid of the enfeoffment system and implement the county system, which is our provincial and county system today. Some people say that Liu Bang is Qin Ershi, but I think he is only half, because he only inherited the county system, but realized the Confucian golden mean and no way to govern the country. It is precisely because of the successful practice of the Liu family that all the emperors in the world took effect, which made all the historical developments change the dynasties forever, but the society did not get real substantive development, and it was impossible to get new substantive development without changing the social system. Without the arrival of western powers, we will continue to develop foolishly under this feudal system forever. Capitalism appeared in the West before China, and industrialization preceded China. This is not an accident, but the inevitable result of the comparison between the two cultures! Because it is precisely because the feudal system based on the doctrine of the mean and ignorance has achieved great success that there will be a change of dynasty, and there will be no new system. Everyone will say what's wrong with this. For thousands of years, pride of chinese has stood firmly in the East. This idea is tantamount to a frog in the well. That's because the world is not really connected, and China has always been the overlord of the East. In the East, no nation can be compared with the Han nationality in scale, but the Han nationality has been ruled by other ethnic minorities for hundreds of years. Why? This should be something that most people in China should think about. Today, we can only sigh that the history of the Qin Dynasty is too short to develop and continue the rule of law.
The brief demise of the Qin Dynasty is complicated and caused by many reasons. Not because his system is not feasible. The Qin Dynasty, like a rapidly expanding company, could not reasonably and effectively integrate its subsidiaries, which eventually led to bankruptcy. At the beginning of the war, all kinds of resistance forces in the country were not completely eliminated. It is difficult for the nationals of the six countries under the guidance of Confucianism to adapt to the resistance of the country ruled by law. The resistance of the dark forces of the former royal family and the start of too many large-scale projects led to excessive internal friction. Some bills were executed too quickly, which aroused the people's rebound under the original system, and the treacherous court official made an insurrection ... making the Qin Dynasty a giant who died of exhaustion.
Everything has two sides and will be praised and criticized. Different positions will lead to different views and conclusions. We can only judge whether it is right or wrong by which side plays a greater role. Compared with a large group, a country or a nation, sometimes some things will inevitably harm the interests of a small number of people because of collective interests. Qin Shihuang only destroyed the interests of a few people for the benefit of the majority of the Chinese nation. Later, he was seized by the opposing rulers and became a "tyrant" to meet his ruling needs. Finally, he became a tyrant in the eyes of most people living under the credit of Qin Shihuang. Let our eternal Qin Shihuang bear the stigma of thousands of years of history. Although more than 2000 years have passed, the great achievements of the first emperor, who has made great contributions through the ages, still have a profound impact on our lives, whether spiritually, culturally or materially. This influence will continue and will last forever ... it is the greatest spiritual wealth and material wealth of our Chinese nation. Maybe his reputation will be cursed by people. I really can't say most people today, but I believe that one day our descendants of the Chinese nation will return Qin Shihuang's eternal meritorious service and overshadow the just reputation of the five emperors! ! !
