Character evaluation:
Liao Wei, a strategist in the Warring States Period, said: "The King of Qin was a quick-witted man, loyal to birds and brilliant, and a bit kind and Tigerheart. Pingdingshan on the sea floor is easy to be knocked down, but it is also very light on its peers. I put on my clothes, but I often see myself. Sincerity makes the king of Qin win the world, and the world is a slave. Cannot travel for a long time. " Historical Records of Qin Shihuang's Biography
Sima Qian thought in Historical Records: "The king of Qin was greedy and self-motivated, didn't believe in merit, didn't kiss the gentry, abolished the royal power, established private rights, and prohibited documents from torturing the law. Before cheating on justice, it began with tyranny." "Biography of Qin Shihuang" "Ming statutes and laws were made from the beginning of the emperor." Li sichuan
Qin Shihuang s economic measures and national measures;
Economic initiatives:
During the Warring States period, the systems of weights and measures and monetary systems in various countries were very inconsistent. After the reunification of Qin dynasty, it was stipulated that the currency could be divided into gold and copper: gold was the upper currency and yi was the unit; Copper coins are called coins, which are unified into circular square holes, with half two as the unit. Gold coins are mainly for the emperor, and copper coins are the main circulation media.
Qin Shihuang took the degree, quantity and balance of the former Qin State as the unit standard and eliminated the system that did not match this. Qin Ting engraved the original standard documents promulgated by Shang Yang, or made the same standard documents with inscriptions and sent them to the whole country.
Ethnic initiatives:
Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and established an autocratic monarchy that unified the whole country. Before Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he noticed the rule of ethnic minorities in southwest, southeast and northwest, thus strengthening the political and cultural ties of a multi-ethnic unified country dominated by the Chinese nation. After reunification, officials were set up in the southwest minority areas, making them a part of Qin State.
