Qin Shihuang is the central figure in "The Qin Empire". The Qin Shihuang written by Mr. Sun Haohui is the image of a great statesman, not a wretched tyrant.

Since the Han Dynasty, Qin Shihuang has been portrayed as a tyrant. To this day, many people admit that Qin Shihuang made great historical contributions, but they still say that Qin Shihuang was a tyrant. For example, Mr. Lin Jianming's comments in "Manuscript of the History of Qin".

In history, there are also individual thinkers who spoke highly of Qin Shihuang. In his article "On Feudalism", Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty fully affirmed that the prefecture and county system promoted by Qin Shihuang was superior to the feudal system, and put forward a famous point of view: "The beginning of the public world is the beginning of Qin Dynasty." Li Zhi of the Ming Dynasty directly praised Qin Shihuang as "one emperor through the ages." He believed that Qin Shihuang ended the chaos of feudal feudal rule and unified the country. This was a great achievement that overthrew the old world and established a new world. This great achievement will be remembered by future generations. The emperor is incomparable. Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty greatly appreciated Qin Shihuang's nationwide policy of ruling the country by law and took it as a model. Among the great men of modern times, Lu Xun is the first to rectify Qin Shihuang's name and speak out justice. Lu Xun said in the article "On the Similarities and Differences of Huade's Book Burning": "When Mr. Hitler and the Germans burned books, commentators in China and Japan compared them to Qin Shihuang. However, Qin Shihuang was really unjust, and he suffered a loss. After the death of the second generation, a group of helpers went to speak ill of the new master. Yes, Qin Shihuang burned books to unify his thoughts, but he did not burn agricultural books and medical books; he collected many books from other countries. "Ke Qing" does not focus on "Qin's thoughts", but rather draws on all kinds of thoughts. "However, these evaluations are not mainstream, and they are only some articles and discussions. They have not formed a trend of thought and have not been recognized by the majority of people in society. .

In "The Great Qin Empire", Mr. Sun Haohui successfully created the literary image of Qin Shi Huang based on historical truth and a new historical perspective, and clearly rectified Qin Shi Huang's name. The great work and eloquent narration reveal Qin Shihuang's great achievements, voice and smile one by one. From then on, a brand new "Qin Shihuang" stood in the palace of Chinese literature. This is the contribution of Mr. Sun Huihui.

Let’s first take a look at Mr. Sun’s evaluation of Qin Shihuang. Mr. Sun said that from a historical perspective, the Qin Shihuang era had at least five unprecedented achievements: first, it unified China; second, it created a unified Chinese civilization system; third, it achieved large-scale construction; and fourth, it cleared the northern border. Hu trouble, the fifth is to develop Lingnan on a large scale. Qin Shihuang's life was full of earth-shattering achievements. How many such great politicians were there in Chinese history? Furthermore, Qin Shihuang's era was filled with talents like a sky full of stars. The first emperor could only unite the heroes to pioneer and create, and throughout his life Has he never killed a single hero in his life? With such charisma, can one of the later emperors achieve this? Of course, Qin Shihuang also had flaws, but they were not mainstream, and they were far from being distorted to the point where he completely lost his human form. Some people say that I am reversing the case for Qin Shihuang. I think reversing the verdict is too low-level. I am showing the historical truth. This is the real Qin Shihuang. If it also achieves the effect of overturning the verdict, I would be happy to see it. Shang Yang and Qin Shihuang are the two pillars of the era when Chinese civilization was born. Whether it is their personality charm or their civilized achievements, they are the Beidou of our nation. It can be said that the spiritual power of the Qin and Han eras was different. The strong spirit of the Qin people was more abundant and full. Qin Shihuang is the figure who best represents this spirit. I think we should now have an objective understanding of Qin Shihuang based on historical reality. Derogating and distorting this historical figure cannot represent the progress of civilization of the times, but is a historical retrogression.

Let’s make a detailed analysis of the character of Qin Shihuang in "The Qin Empire".

The fourth part of "The Great Qin Empire", "Spring and Autumn", begins to write about Ying Zheng in his boyhood, the fifth part, "Iron-Blooded Civilization", focuses on Qin Shihuang in his prime, and the sixth part, "The Beacons of the Empire" "Written about the death of Qin Shihuang and used a lot of pen and ink to evaluate Qin Shihuang's historical achievements.

"The Qin Empire" has created thousands of characters, but no one is more important than the image of Qin Shihuang. Only Qin Shihuang was written about this character from his youth to his death.

In the second volume of "The Spring and Autumn Period", the fourth part of "The Great Qin Empire", Wang Zizheng appears. At that time, Wang Zizheng returned to Qin with the queen not long ago. He did not enter the Young Academy of Prince Fu's mansion, but studied on his own. His daily homework was reading and riding and shooting. Wang Zizheng has very strict self-requirements. At a young age, he abides by the rules. He was injured while practicing riding and shooting, refused treatment, and still insisted on completing the practice. In the grand examination to select the crown prince, the prince's political fame moved both the government and the public, especially his ability to recite "The Book of Shang Jun" proficiently, which was even more amazing. The growth experience of the King of Qin from a young boy to becoming a king who shouldered the important task of unifying the world cannot be found in various historical materials. "The Qin Empire" uses rich imagination to express the political success of this period, which is very successful. King Zhuangxiang of Qin passed away and Lu Buwei came to power. Yingzheng succeeded to the throne but did not handle the affairs of the state. During the eight long years from becoming the King of Qin at the age of 13 to the crowning ceremony at the age of 21, how did King Qin live in power? This is the most important stage in the formation of the idea of ??winning politics. As a future monarch, he will actively search for the knowledge he needs and hone his skills. Although there is no record in the history books, it is explained in "The Great Qin Empire". The King of Qin will never be an Adou when he wins politics, he will never neglect his studies, and he will never fall into sensuality. When it comes to government affairs, Yingzheng's attitude is: stay close to the center, and keep track of everything. Learn from the experience of King Qin Zhaoxiang. Although he is not pro-government, he is at the center of the royal city. In all state affairs, he can be candid and independent. Those who preside over national ceremonies as King of Qin will never take advantage of others and increase their talents through daily training. It is precisely because of this attitude and talent that when Yingzheng succeeded to the throne, he was able to remain calm, command decisively, and strike later. He put down Lao Ai's rebellion in one fell swoop. Later, he deposed Lu Buwei, took back the highest power, and safeguarded the Qin state. of stability.

The records in "Historical Records" can also confirm the accuracy and authenticity of the image of young people winning politics in "The Qin Empire". For example, Qin Shihuang's rule of law thought repeatedly emphasized in "The Great Qin Empire" is well-founded. Since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State has determined the policy of governing the country according to law and formed a better legal social environment. It is also believable that Ying Zheng studied "Book of Shang Jun" as a teenager. When Yingzheng was 21 years old, Lu Buwei completed the compilation of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" and made it public. Since "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" advocates the concept of governing the country by a mixed family, Ying Zheng's attitude is to treat people indifferently and reject them as much as possible. On the contrary, when Ying Zheng read the works of Legalist Han Fei, he was greatly impressed and said with emotion: "Ouch! I will never hate seeing this person hanging out with me!" Ying Zheng was able to read it in time. Reading Han Fei's books shows that he really loves reading; Ying Zheng admires Han Fei very much, which shows that he agrees with Legalism. Therefore, the plot of Ying Zheng studying "The Book of Shang Jun" as a teenager is believable.

When Jing Ke assassinated King Ying Zheng of Qin, he took a dagger tempered with poison and caught him by surprise. He was unprepared and attacked suddenly. Ying Zheng was 33 years old at the time. He was able to escape quickly without any precautions and counterattacked in time to kill Jing Ke. This behavior also shows that Yingzheng was indeed good at both civil and military skills in his youth. The description of the young man Yingzheng practicing hard in "The Qin Empire" is also well-founded.

"Historical Records" also records that after the young man Yingzheng put down the Lao Ai rebellion, he expelled his mother. This behavior is tantamount to exposing his mother's scandal to the world, and also exposing the conflict between himself and his mother. It reflects that Yingzheng is not mature enough politically and has an emotional side. However, Yingzheng's ability to obey Mao Jiao's advice and take his mother back shows that he has the ability to control his emotions for the sake of the overall situation. Similarly, in the same year, the 23-year-old Ying Zheng was ordered to be expelled due to the exposure of Zheng Guo's spy identity. This was also a wrong decision he made when he had an emotional attack. However, after he saw Li Si's letter, he immediately withdrew his order and corrected his mistake. The King of Qin's victory in politics depicted in "The Great Qin Empire" is consistent with the historical facts recorded in "Historical Records", but it is richer and more vivid. Readers can see the growth process of a mature and capable politician.

Qin Shihuang’s historical achievements were created in his prime. It took him ten years to unify the world, and another ten years to govern the world.

The reason why Qin Shihuang is famous throughout the ages is because he did many major things, each of which had a huge and far-reaching impact on China's history. "The Qin Empire" not only shows Qin Shihuang's achievements, but also goes deep into the depths of Qin Shihuang's thoughts, depicting this character in a three-dimensional way.

In the continuous war to unify the world, there will inevitably be killing and pain, but the Qin army did not commit the evil act of massacring the city, nor did it kill other princes and kings. This is a "rebellious soldier" in history. The multi-ethnic, unified, and centralized Qin Dynasty established by Qin Shihuang ushered in a new era of the unification of the Chinese nation, which was in line with the general trend of historical development. Since then, the idea of ??unified China has been deeply rooted in the land of China.

After unifying the world, how to govern the world? Qin Shihuang rejected the feudal system and implemented the system of prefectures and counties. "Historical Records" records a passage from Qin Shihuang: The world is suffering and fighting endlessly, so that there are princes and kings. Laizong Temple, the world was first settled, and the country was restored. This was to build soldiers. Isn't it difficult to seek peace and quiet for them?

In fact, in the world's struggle, the most suffering people are not the nobles and kings, but the ordinary people. It cannot be said that Qin Shihuang did not love the people. The system of prefectures and counties implemented by Qin Shihuang had an important impact on Chinese history and established the political system for unifying the country. Mr. Zhang Taiyan once pointed out that Qin Shihuang was able to ignore the personal relationships between father, son and brothers, put the long-term peace and stability of the country first, categorically abolish the feudal system that had been implemented for nearly a thousand years and implement the system of counties and counties. This not only required far-sightedness, but also great courage. . "The Great Qin Empire" describes Qin Shihuang's national justice and selfless and fearless courage at a historical juncture.

Also, unifying the written language has formed an invisible force in maintaining the unification of China. Precisely because of the uniform writing form of written language, the written language of Chinese can transcend the limitations of time and space and become a special carrier of the cultural inheritance of the entire Chinese nation. The opening chapter of "The Great Qin Empire" states that the Great Qin Empire is the true source of Chinese civilization. It can also be understood that the Great Qin Empire, which concentratedly represented the spirit of the Warring States Period, was the true beginning of our civilization today. We are the civilization system inherited from the Great Qin Empire. Unified writing also started from the Qin Empire.

In addition, Qin Shihuang also made other historical contributions, and Mr. Sun also talked about them. "The Qin Empire" uses a large number of examples to tell readers that Qin Shihuang was really a great statesman who made great contributions to the Chinese nation and was our national hero. Just imagine, how could a cruel monarch with a dirty heart be interested in unifying words and weights and measures! A selfish and greedy monarch would not actively promote the system of prefectures and counties. In fact, if Qin Shihuang had ennobled his children as princes, the Qin Empire might not have perished so quickly. After reading "The Great Qin Empire", I feel that the image of Qin Shihuang is basically positive, bright, and great; of course there are also dark aspects, such as the burning of books and the humiliation of Confucian scholars, but they are not the main thing. Is this the author's intention to elevate the image of Qin Shihuang? No, the main events, words and deeds are all well-documented and recorded in history books. Mr. Sun was just restoring Qin Shihuang's original appearance. This was probably the original intention when creating "The Qin Empire".
