Then he ordered for the reinforcement of the Great Wall. He unified China with a common script, and standardized roads and carts across the land , way before the modern concept of mass production was born. But he also did many things that would send shivers down your spine.
Due to Qin Shihuang's oppressive rule, the Qin Dynasty fell apart just four years after his death. Nevertheless, its brilliance far outshines its own 15-years existence. Thus knowledge of this dynasty is crucial to understanding China and her cultural tradition
