The Qin Dynasty (221 BCE -207 BCE) was the first dynasty to unify whole China. The dynasty originated from the Qin State during the Warring States Period. In 221 BC, Ying Zheng (嬴政, king of the Qin State) defeated the rest of the six Warring States (Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi) successively and completed the great reunification of China. Subsequently, Ying Zheng became the first emperor of unified China. He called himself "Qin Shi Huang" (秦始皇), meaning "the First Qin Emperor" and ruled with an iron fist. This was the beginning of imperialism in China. In 210 BCE, Qin Shi Huang died of illness. Afterwards, the Qin Dynasty came to end within a few years. Although Qin Dynasty was the shortest in Chinese history, and often abused the people's power, it had a huge influence on the following dynasties. In fact, the establishment of a centralized government system by the Qin Dynasty laid the basic pattern of governance for the coming 2,000 years.
The book, Chinese History 3, a Chinese reading practice book, presents a broad and simple overview of the Qin Dynasty and their contributions. In the accompanied book chapters, you'll learn the history of China starting from the Warring States Period until the collapse of the Qin Dynasty. The volume, 13th in the Mandarin Chinese Reading Series, includes both the Chinese text (simplified characters) and pinyin. With about 900 unique characters, the volume would be suitable for the beginners, lower intermediate and advanced level Chinese language learners (HSK 1-6). Overall, the Mandarin Chinese Reading Series offers you a variety of elementary level books (Level 1/2/3) to learn Chinese culture as well as practice Chinese reading fast.
