He adopted a series of major political and cultural reforms that radically distincted the two phases of Chinese history, making China a powerful centralized state.
Qin Shi Huang's contribution and influence are not only reflected in his wise decisions and landmark historical events, but also in his long-term profound impact on all aspects of Chinese society, including politics, economy, culture, etc.
Qin Shi Huang's authoritarian ideology and system had a profound impact on the evolution of Chinese history
Qin Shi Huang was an important emperor in Chinese history, and the authoritarian ideology and system he pioneered had a profound impact on the evolution of Chinese history.
During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, China carried out many political, economic, legal and other reforms, which had an impact not only on China at that time, but also on later feudal dynasties.
Qin Shi Huang carried out reforms in administrative divisions. His county system had a profound impact on Chinese history, and before the Qin Dynasty, China's administrative divisions were dominated by princely states and local power was relatively dispersed.
After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he abolished the system of division and sealing based on the princely states and implemented the county system, dividing the country into 36 counties and more than 700 counties. This system has increased the control of the central government and made it easier to govern and manage.
The county system was further developed and perfected during the Han Dynasty, becoming the basis of later Chinese political systems, and still has influence today.
Qin Shi Huang carried out reforms in terms of currency, and he implemented a unified monetary system, the "small money law" based on copper coins, which promoted the development of the commodity economy and made the economy prosperous.
The promotion of the small money method also made the social wealth centralized, thus enhancing the control of Qin Shi Huang, and in the Han Dynasty, the small money law was further developed and perfected, becoming the basis of the later Chinese monetary system, and was not eliminated until the Qing Dynasty.
Qin Shi Huang carried out reforms in the area of law, and he implemented Legalist ideology, centralizing legal power in the hands of the central government and increasing the central government's control over the localities.
He formulated a series of legal systems, such as the system of legal orders, the system of prison officials, and the system of imperial history, which had a profound impact on Chinese history, and the prison official system and the imperial history platform system played an important role in the supervision of officials.
The totalitarian ideology and system pioneered by Qin Shi Huang had a profound impact on the evolution of Chinese history, and the political system of the Qin Dynasty had a profound impact on the later feudal dynasties.
The county system was developed and perfected in the Han Dynasty, and this system was widely used in later feudal dynasties such as the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties.
The monetary system created by Qin Shi Huang also had an important impact on the development of China's economy, and the promotion of the small money law promoted the development of the commodity economy and concentrated social wealth to the center, which laid the foundation for the later development of China's economy.
Qin Shi Huang's legal system also laid the foundation for the later Chinese legal system, the legal order system laid the foundation for the development of the later Chinese legal system, and the prison official system and the imperial history platform system played an important role in the supervision of officials.
It can be said that the centralized ideology and system pioneered by Qin Shi Huang had a profound and lasting impact on Chinese history, and this influence continues to this day.
However, when Qin Shi Huang promoted the ideology and system of centralization, he also brought some negative effects, and he adopted extreme measures to carry out unification and reform, which was a serious damage and harm to the people at that time.
For example, he burned books to pit Confucianism, destroying a large amount of ancient culture and knowledge, which had an immeasurable impact on the development of Chinese culture and knowledge.
In addition, Qin Shi Huang also practiced Legalist thought, emphasizing the strict implementation of laws and centralized power, which was an extremely harsh rule for the society and people at that time.
This extreme way of ruling also caused some people to revolt and dissatisfaction, and became famous peasant uprisings in history, such as the Chen Sheng, Wuguang Uprising and Chimei Uprising.
The centralized ideology and system pioneered by Qin Shi Huang had a profound impact on Chinese history, and his political, economic, and legal reforms laid the foundation of China's feudal dynasty and made China a unified country.
