Qin Shi Huang, born Ying Zheng, was the founding emperor of the Qin dynasty and the first emperor of a unified China, reigning from 221 to 210 BCE. Known for his ambitious vision and ruthlessness, he centralized power, standardized laws, currencies, and scripts, and connected various walls to form the Great Wall. His reign also saw massive infrastructure projects, including the famous Terracotta Army, intended to protect him in the afterlife. Despite his achievements, his rule was marked by tyranny, book burnings, and harsh legalism, shaping Chinese history and imperial tradition for centuries.
