Qin Shihuangdi Tyrant

The death of Emperor Qin at the age of 50 came as a complete surprise to the people of China. It is important to reflect on his time as the ruler of China: to review the life of Qin, focusing on his background, achievements and the negative aspects of his rule to decide whether he will go down in history as a good or bad emperor. From a very young age, Qin was born to rule. Qin Shi Huang was born in Qin in northern western of China 259 BCE.

Qin Shi Haungdi was one of the most important emperors in Chinese history; as the first emperor he needed to centralize the political economical and military power as one group, (theqin-dynasty-ag.weebly.com/government.html created by weebly ) The unification of china meant that Shi haungdi would have to create a standardized measurement, weight and a system of law that would apply to every part of China. He made the banliang coin of the Qin state the single currency of the new Qin Empire. He made forms of bronze money, which came in a number of different shapes and sizes, became obsolete. The standardisation of coinage can be seen as both a symbol of the emperor’s political authority and as an important economic development.

During the Warring States Period Ancient China, Ying Zheng was born (259 BCE) to King Zhuangxiang and Queen Dowager Zhou. During this time, 7 major states of China were fighting for dominance over the country. It lasted from 475-221 BCE (which was about 254 years). At thirteen years old, Ying Zheng’s father died and he ascended to the throne of China to become king. He had to rule with a regent for a period of time, as he was too young to lead on his own, but once he took the throne to himself, it became his main goal as a king to unify China.

Emperor Kangxi was the fourth and longest reigning emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty during the late 17th century until the early 18th century. Historians consider him one of the greatest emperors in history because his policies ultimately led the Qing Dynasty in becoming one of the most successful and flourishing societies globally and historically. Emperor Kangxi believed the role of the emperor was to be benevolent and respectful to all of his subjects, and to create harmony within the nation, with the hope of ultimately restoring and expanding the Qing dynasty into a prosperous and economic empire. Kangxi had strict criteria for state official prospects. He believed it was very important to look into a person's moral and spiritual values

There are many reasons contributing to the negative thoughts towards Emperor Wu, however one of the main reasons that really made people grew hate and consider her as a bad emperor was definitely the evil deed she did to her family members.

You can clearly see how many people she murdered from the book Mysteries about Chinese History, where it states “ According to the historical book of China you are the closest to yourself. Emperor Wu Ze Tian, killed one of her daughter, two sons, four brothers, two sisters a niece.”

Arguments 1. Zhuangzi’s skeptical relativism justifies his anti-authoritarian stance, so he is an anarchist. Attitude: for Argument: According to the historical records, Zhuangzi was addicted in nature scenes and the constant indulgence in lighthearted life made him sure that the highest-class government was more like an inaction government but not a hustle and bustle government.

Sui Yangdi (569-618) was the second emperor of the shortly lived Sui Dynasty and was believed to have succeeded the throne in the year 604 after assassinating his father Wendi, the founder of the Sui Dynasty. Yangdi was an oppressive ruler, using forced labor and levying high taxes. He wasted the empire’s resources on many luxuries including constructing lavishly decorated palaces and planting his gardens with mature trees from distant forests. Between the years 612 and 614, Sui Yangdi’s armies embarked on three unsuccessful expeditions to Korea, which led to revolt among the Chinese. Though Yangdi was a somewhat corrupt ruler, he was responsible for the construction of the Grand Canal, a 1,400 mile canal used to transport grain and other goods

Over the course of its lifetime, China has hosted dynasties ruled by a number of families. From the 17th to 20th century, the Qing, Manchurian invaders, conquered China and established the last dynasty in the history of China. At the peak of the Qing dynasty, the quality of life of the individual living inside China was tremendous. The many rebellions over the course of the rule of the Qing would ensure the downfall of the dynasty through the decline of central power and the increase in foreign involvement, eventually leading to the loss of the Mandate of Heaven and the collapse of the Qing dynasty.

Mao Zedong was a Chinese communist Revolutionist, who was one of the founding members of the Communist Party of China, had governed as the Chairman of the People’s Republic of China since 1949. As a revolutionist, he launched several revolutions such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution which ended in catastrophes, whilst he contributed much to the communist party as well as China. So, was Mao Zedong a hero or a tyrant? A hero should have leadership skills, be visionary, progressive, and would strike for national interest, justice and glorify the nation.

Qin Shi Huang-di is often regarded as a great leader within history. However, he was also paranoid and got rid of anyone who disagreed with him, but without Qin, there might be no China. Furthermore, despite his mixed reputation today, he brought six warring kingdoms together to form the basis of a country that has lasted to this day, an impressive feat that was a huge turning point in Chinese history. Qin’s effect on China and by default, on the other countries of the world was enormous. In fact, his dynasty, the Qin dynasty, even gave China its name (“Shi Huangdi Becomes Emperor”).

Qin Shihuang’s many faults and unattractive features derive in large part from his achievements. One of his most well-known traits is harshness, which at times was considered despotic. He is said to have maintained strict order over his kingdom, and valued obedience above all. As the first ruler to have united many Warring States and subsequently impose a central government with astonishing alacrity, this trait may seem expected in some ways.
