Abstract

A survey of the Qin Dynasty, from the eve of its unification of China through its rapid fall after the death of the First Emperor. The focus of the chapter is the extensive nature of the "Qin Revolution," the radical reforms that redrew the political and social map of China in ways that endured for two millennia. This analysis is interspersed with short translated and summarized narratives from the Shiji, focusing on the First Emperor, his prime minister, Li Si, and others who played key roles.
