Daily Qin                             

Qin MAKES EVERTHING MUCH SIMPLER.

Yes Emperor Qin is the one who standardized the Chinese culture we all know. Emperor Qin went throughout China and standardizes weight, measurements, currency, and writing language. Qin went throughout all of China to do this because he want to strengthen the nation to perpetuate the dynasty.

Qin did this because he was tired of going from place to place and keep on switching your money or you not understanding everything that anyone that didn’t speak his language.

To make sure this happened Qin went to every state, town, village to make sure that there teaching the system.

I interviewed two witnesses who were there when Qin was doing this. The first witness his name is Lord Shang Yang who created military aristocracy. “ It was an amazing thing Qin did standardizing Chinese culture. Most people just allowed us to change their ways and others well they never went back home”

My second witness I was very lucky to interview him most people can’t even get as close as ten feet towards him. “Personal I didn’t like it when Qin went from village to forcing people to give up the way there family has been talking for century’s and to start a new language and way to write. And the time when he went to this one school and order his men to go inside, get all the books and burn them as the kids watch and cried as their favorite folk tales turn into ash.”

QIN MADE IT EASY

Emperor Qin has gone through all the states and is telling them to follow his system which is all the same. Right now, all the states have their own language which will take too long to learn if you are on a short business trip.  They also have their own measurement system which will be tricky to learn if you don’t know how they do math in that state. And all the states have different currency so you would have to change the type of money you are holding everywhere you go. Emperor Qin is making life easier by changing the system in all the states.

Qin would go into every state and every school to make sure that the teachers are teaching his system. If other states had there own philosophy like Confucianism or Dioaism he would make all follow one philosophy which is Legalism so that everyone can follow the same beliefs. And to stop the teachings of other philosophy's he burned all non-Legalist books.

On the other hand, some places might like the way they talk, the way they measure, or how they count money. Someone could have been speaking their native language for many generations when someone just comes into their village and tells them they can’t speak it anymore because they have a new way to speak. This opposing opinion is wrong because you shouldn’t have to learn a new language or change the money you’re holding for every time you go to a different state.

That’s why Emperor Qin made everything that same changing the Chinese Culture so that everybody doesn’t go through this. But he should change how the law is made and how everyone should act.

 

The Warring States period map is very different from the Qin dynasty map.  During the Warring States period, China was split up into many different regions and was only half the size of the Qin dynasty. Then on the Qin dynasty map all the regions are connected together and even more land on this one and the Great wall is what divide the Qin dynasty’s land from the Mongolles. Compared to modern this very small piece of land China now is very big now.

Belief Systems

In 221 BC, the Qin dynasty Emperor Qin went through all the states which had different philosophy's like Confucianism and others. In the Qin dynasty Qin very strict punishments and rewards. He thought man was evil and a law was that people had to spy on each other. The punishments got so harsh that people rebeled against it.

Inventions

Emperor Qin during the Warring state period invented something that would be a great advantage for wars the “Sword”. They made them out of bronze at first they then in the 3rd century Qin started to use iron swords. They also made crossbows and bows in the 5th century.
