Period. As a symbol of this central empire, the name "China" is of great significance.
Before Qin Shi Huang, China was divided into seven warring states, and countries attacked each other and were in a state of war for a long time. At that time, the "China" we saw was actually scattered, with different regions using different scripts, weights and measures, and monetary systems, lacking a common mark. However, after unifying China, Qin Shi Huang began a series of reform measures, marking the establishment of a centralized system and the establishment of a unified Chinese system. In the process, in order to highlight the majesty of the Central Empire, Qin Shi Huang decided to give the newly formed country a new name - "China"

In the long history that followed, the name "China" not only continued to be used, but also became larger and stronger. With the unification of China and the continuous expansion of its territory, "China" as a name representing the entire country has gradually become a symbol and symbol of Chinese history. It has not only become the representative of the management system of successive regimes, but also the faith and spiritual belonging of the people of the whole country.

Through various means, Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and established a centralized unified state, thus making this collective a country in the true sense. In this process, Qin Shi Huang also strengthened China's strength and influence from political, military, cultural and other aspects, making China one of the most talked about civilizations in the world.

China has a long history and a broad and profound culture, and its philosophical thoughts, literature and art, craft technology, nature observation, etc., all reflect the unique wisdom and creativity of the Chinese nation.
These cultural connotations run through the entire history of China and have influenced the life and destiny of Chinese. Therefore, the symbolic and cultural connotation of the name China in the world has long transcended its phonology and meaning.
In contemporary times, China is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. As one of the most populous and economically developed countries in the world, China is facing a period of transformation and upgrading.
