You have come slowly from endless history, still wearing domineering and imperial demeanor. Laughing at the changes that have taken place behind me for thousands of years, it seems that there is a roar from the distant horizon: I am the first emperor of China.
The wheel of history can be traced back to more than 2000 years ago. How excited you were when you destroyed Qi, the last vassal state of the Warring States. You have fulfilled the dream of several generations of monarchs in the State of Qin and opened a new era in the history of China. You "courageously killed the enemy for the sixth time, and conquered the mainland with a long-term strategy, swallowed the princes for two weeks and died. In accordance with the supreme rule, Liuhe made the world famous." History has fixed you in a supreme position, and it is an unprecedented elite cohesion-Qin Shihuang.
Your unification of the six countries has laid the foundation for the formation and development of a unified multi-ethnic country in China. Your autocratic centralization has influenced China for thousands of years. The monarchs of later generations all respected your system, and divided and divided again and again, pushing the history of China forward.
You adopted Reese's suggestion and started the county system. You accepted Han Fei's idea and started the rule of law. You think you are "a virtuous Huang San who made contributions to the Five Emperors", calling yourself "the first emperor" and hoping that "the third generation will be king forever". However, history has played a big joke on you, and only two generations have ended the unified empire that you personally created. You regret and feel helpless, and you don't want to be sad. You didn't lose to history, but to yourself. It was your brutal rule that lost the hearts of the people, thus pushing the Qin Dynasty to the brink of "death" step by step. Otherwise, there will be no feeling of "Qin people, Qin people, non-world people", and there will be no tragic scene of "Chu people burned to the ground".
Some people say: in the eyes of historians, you are an indispensable emperor, but in the eyes of the people, you are a fierce and cruel monarch. From Zheng Guoqu to Lingqu, from Lishan Mausoleum to Wan Li Great Wall, where are the people's blood, sweat and bitterness? Where is there no horror of corpses, hunger and cold? However, without you, how could Du Mu's Epang Palace Fu have such high popularity? Without you, where is the grandeur of the Great Wall of Wan Li? Without you, where did the Terracotta Warriors come from-the birth of the eighth wonder of the world?
You have set too many suspense for China culture, left too many gaps in China history, and left enough space for the younger generation to imagine the prosperity and beauty of Epang Palace and appreciate the touching legends of Meng Jiangnv and Wang Fuzhi.
You have left too much awe for future generations, fearing your strict laws; You have left too many sighs for future generations, lamenting that you are unique in the world; You have left too much thought for future generations, thinking about your lofty aspirations; You have left too many warnings to future generations, warning that your failure to show benevolence and righteousness will lead to a strong Qin Ershi.
Your merits and demerits are judged by future generations, not success or failure. It is current events that have made you and given you a stage to display your talents. Right and wrong are just rolling waves in the long river of history. Qin Shihuang-the name has traveled through time and space and reverberated to this day. You are the spokesman of our Chinese nation. Your great talents, extraordinary temperament and extraordinary boldness of vision will inspire Chinese sons and daughters to rally, create brilliant achievements again.
