In the history of Qin State, after Qin Mugong and Shang Yang, Qin Shihuang played an important role in the development of Qin State. In the history of China, Qin Shihuang was also a representative figure who initiated an era.
But Qin Shihuang was still a rare tyrant. Qin Shihuang's cruelty can't be explained only by the general reason of "the nature of the landlord class". Tang Zhen once said that "since Qin Dynasty, emperors have been thieves" ("Library Language"), and this view is correct. But the "thief" Qin Shihuang seems to be more tyrannical and guilty than other emperors. He is not only extravagant, but also causes the suffering of the broad masses of people; What is conducive to reunification is measures. Although it was beneficial to social development in the long run, it became a catastrophe at that time, such as the construction of the Great Wall. For decades, hundreds of thousands of people were recruited to do extremely heavy work. From the following records, we can see how terrible the pain caused by the burden of swinging labor is. Yang Tinglie, a writer in A Qing, recorded in Fang County Records that a hairy "cat man" was discovered. According to their ancestors, they were migrant workers who came out to avoid the hard work of Qin Shihuang to build the Great Wall. Because they hide in the mountains and forests, they are covered with hair all over. It is said that when they met the Catman, he first asked you, "Is the Great Wall finished?" Is Qin Huang still there? "Answer" the Great Wall is not finished, Qin Shihuang is still there! "Long-haired men will scare away. Of course, this record can only be regarded as a biography of the people. However, if there were no such cruel reality in history, this terrible biography would never have appeared. It reflects that Qin Shihuang's actions were based on the cruel exploitation and oppression of the broad masses of working people, which far exceeded the tolerance of society and made it difficult to maintain the simple reproduction of society. Therefore, even some measures conducive to historical development caused disasters to the people at that time.
The cruelty of Qin Shihuang's rule is closely related to the historical tradition of Qin State. Qin was founded as a nomadic people. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qin has been in an environment of fighting against the enemy. "Qin people suffer hardships" is caused by history, and the "cruelty" of the rulers is also consistent with the cruel reality of this war. From Qin Xianggong to Shang Yang and then to Qin Shihuang, its ruling methods have always been extremely cruel "Yi San ancestor" and "Yi Jiuzu", which is extremely rare in other vassal states, and hundreds of martyrs are only found in Qin Zhi. Qin Shihuang completed the plan of the former monarchs to unify China, and at the same time, the cruel rule of Qin reached its peak. However, emphasizing the tradition of Qin does not mean exempting Qin Shihuang from personal guilt. His cruel personality, ambition and success, especially after reunification, are important reasons for aggravating people's disasters. Because of this, and because he pushed the social economy to the point of collapse at that time, the Qin Dynasty became an extremely dark dynasty in history.
Qin Shihuang is such a historical figure. He is not only a politician with great contributions, but also a tyrant.
Qin Shihuang's historical achievement lies not only in his conquest of the six countries, but also in how he created.
