Qin Shi Huang did many things to organise his new empire. He wanted it to run smoothly for many many years. He confirmed many improvements is different areas as follows.
Money-Emperor Qin also merged China by organising needed money and standard units of measure. Since everyone was using the same money and measurements, the whole of China ran much smoother.
Writing- Another important part of ancient China was a basic way of writing. In ancient China there were many ways of writing. Emperor Qin made sure everybody taught and used the same type of

The Ming and Qing empire was successful, advanced and had power. They had outstanding wealth, A luminous reputation and superior satisfaction. They were very educated and advanced in their agriculture.
The way clans were organized is believed to have led to the joint family life. They had mastered the use of bronze in weapons and utensils. They also created the writing system that is still used in China
Throughout the history of The Roman Empire the government has changed elected consuls to powerful emperors with intent to overall better the empire. Comparatively, China’s empire was constantly adjusted from a simpler bureaucracy to a censorate appointed to provinces, which lead it to be argued as the most unified empire. Rome and China attempted to unify their empires both similarly and very differently because of the different structures of their governments and the culture flowing through the empires. The Roman and Chinese had similar ideas of having a bureaucratic based government to centralize the people under the rule of the emperor like the censorate in China and senate in Rome. On the contrary, those political structures were both
Qin Shi Huangdi was the first emperor to unify all regions of China into one single empire, taking drastic steps and measures to achieve this aim. He conquered six kingdoms and survived many attempts on his life. Through his barbarity and brutality, he had earned himself the title of the most successful and influential man of China. The State of Qin believed in a political philosophy called Legalism, which justified strict and centralized control and using the people to strengthen Qin. They believed that part of strengthening his rule was to force everyone to simply obey, not speak out against him and by decreeing even how people could write, what they could believe and what they could do.
Ancient China was a great and powerful civilization, ruled by many fascinating dynasties. Two dynasties, the Han and the Song, were particularly interesting. During the Period of Prosperity, these two dynasties had a lot in common, but also had many differences. One similarity between the Han and the Song were their increase in trading. The Han used the military to protect their trade routes, so people felt safe and travelled further and more frequently.
In the Classical era, two very comparable empires carried out the cycle of rising and falling on the far western and eastern ends of Eurasia. While only Rome had to struggle to grow from a single city to an enormous empire, both Rome and Han China rose to power on the backs of their brutal armies. And, the fall of both empires negatively impacted the life of common people as well as the cultivation of culture across Eurasia. In the beginning of its reign, the Roman empire labored to grow from an impoverished city-state into a more expansive political force.
Emperor Qin Shiu Haung was referred to as the first emperor his reign lasted thirty-six years but his legacy lasted more than two thousand years. He along with his prime minister Li Si, replaced the primitive but noble structures with centralized bureaucratic systems. they restructured their laws, and standardized their writing, weights and measures and their currency. They launched large scale architectural projects that included the great wall, and grand palaces. They also constructed roadways and they developed a practical system to help them manage, produce and distribute goods and resources throughout the land.
Qin Shi Huang made many changes to how he wanted to rule China, however, some of the most important and famed revisions were his different methods of managing his land. Distribution of lands during previous dynasties, like the Zhou dynasty(1046 BCE-256 BCE) (Britannica, Zhou dynasty, 2016, 2018), was too lax compared to the Qin; because they allowed pre-existing rulers to maintain their land. “Zhou kings sent members of their family to set up fortresses and rule new territories in the conquered lands. They also made local rulers into feudal lords who ruled for them.
Did you know that Qin Shihuangdi was a tyrant . He cared about himself and spend lavish amount of money on himself. One reason of Qin spend money on himself and not caring for his people. Qin spend lots of money to build palaces and giant tomb. They had build over 6,000 soldiers that were made out of clay and placed them in his tomb.
The ruler Han Gaozu changed many laws and polices and “promoted the welfare of its subjects”(p.81) unlike the ruler Qin. After the Han Dynasty there was not another great dynasty four hundred years later after the fall of the Han
The foundation of Legalism which he forced his subjects to conform to lead to the development of Chinses civilizations because the Qin dynasty was able to use it to unify China and inspire the Han dynasty. Although Emperor Zheng led the Qin army to fight with the same weapons as their rivals, but because of their meritocracy, they were undefeated. The meritocracy allowed soldiers and officials to be promoted strictly on the of accomplishment no matter the ranking of your family. Similar to Ashoka's way of providing people with the hopeful possibility of a change in status to get what he wanted, Zheng follows the same principle. A skilled soldier may rise to become a general, but the one lacking in skill may remain a common footed soldier.
Zhu Yuanzhang led a very strong and powerful army to take control of the Yuan Dynasty and they were successful. That led them to gain power. They consolidated by trading and it was even more beneficial to them since they were in Asia and near the water so it was easy for them to use boats to travel and trade. They also secured their borders from their enemies by building the Great Wall of China. They managed to maintain power by allowing everyone in the empire freedom of religion and fair rules and they had good economic income from trading.
The Qin and Han employed different philosophies on how to run their dynasties. The Qin used controlling Legalistic ideas while the Han used the relationship building Confucianism. The Qin and Han had a different relationship with outsiders because the Qin preferred to keep foreigners out while the Han wanted to build a relationship with them. The Qin and the Han each contributed to the growth of China’s culture and expansion. The developments in trade, foreign relations, and building expansive building projects in the Qin and Han Dynasties effected the design of every dynasty
The Han Dynasty in China and the Roman Empire shared many similarities and differences when it came to political rule and the nature of their political authority. The most significant difference between the two is how the Han dynasty enacted policies that were shaped to counter the wrongdoings of the previous Qin dynasty, whereas the Roman Empire enacted policies shaped to create and promote peace and stability. The difference in the two empire’s coming to power was to account for their variance in political rule. After the Qin dynasty, the Han ruled China for four centuries, enacting numerous political changes and governing one of the most efficacious dynasties in Chinese history.
Qin Shi Huangdi and Caesar Augustus’s domination of multiple empires during their different lifetimes is what lead to them gaining the title of the first emperor of their empires. With peace finally brought to their territories, they gained supreme power over all. Their commitment to honoring their title showed by the way they appealed to the people. But, having great power was a substantial responsibility. They constantly had to show dedication to their empires, so the people never doubted why they were in power.
