Contents: Qin Shi Huang lived a brief 50 years, yet accomplished unprecedented feats, ushering in an era centered on unification. He unified the six kingdoms, establishing the unified Qin Dynasty. He established a centralized system anchored by the emperor, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, and the prefecture-county system. He implemented standardized writing, wheel gauges, customs, and weights and measures, establishing the standards of unification and ushering in China's feudal era. However, after his death, his policies led to the rapid collapse of Qin rule: Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up in rebellion, sparking the first large-scale peasant uprising in Chinese history; and Liu Bang and Xiang Yu engaged in a protracted power struggle for control of the Central Plains.
