Anonymous users2024-02-01During the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, China's territory was not large. The territory of the Xia Dynasty was around present-day Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Hubei and other places. The territory of the Shang Dynasty was about the same.
The territory of the Zhou Dynasty was the largest, reaching the Liaodong Peninsula in the northeast, southern Shaanxi in the northwest, and the Yangtze River basin in the south.
After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he did not stop the pace of expanding his territory.
First of all, Qin Shi Huang sent the national captain Tu Sui to lead an army of 500,000 to the south to conquer Lingnan. In ancient times, Lingnan was the place where the Baiyue people lived, known as the land of Baiyue, which is equivalent to the whole territory of Guangdong Province, Guangxi Province, Hainan Province, and the Red River Delta of Vietnam, with an area of about 500,000 square kilometers. However, Tu Sui's military campaign was unsuccessful.
Qin Shi Huang immediately sent Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo to lead a large army to attack Lingnan, and after four years of bloody battles, they finally enclosed the Lingnan area into the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Shi Huang set up Guilin County, Nanhai County and Xiang County in Lingnan, and continued to immigrate to Lingnan Lao Natong. These immigrants from the Central Plains brought with them advanced culture and agricultural and handicraft technologies, which made the economic, social and cultural development of the relatively isolated and backward Lingnan region at that time, and gradually kept up with the rhythm of the Central Plains.
When expanding the territory to the south and north, Qin Shi Huang also opened up the five-foot road between the Central Plains and the southwest region, so that the southwest region and the Central Plains were closely linked.
If Qin Shi Huang used the system of three princes and nine secretaries and the county system to achieve the unity of the country's political system, then he also used books and texts, cars and tracks, and unified weights and measures to achieve the unity of the economic system and ideology and culture.
Carriages on the same track - During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the roads between the vassal states were of different widths and sizes. After the reunification of the country, this phenomenon seriously affected the transportation exchanges between various localities and restricted economic development. Emperor Tan Shi Huang of Qin ordered the construction of three galloping roads with Xianyang as the center, one to the east, one to the south, and one to the north, which is equivalent to the current national highway.
The rails on the track are 6 feet wide. At the same time, the distance between the two wheels on the carriage was changed to 6 feet, the same as the rails on the gallop road. In this way, it is conducive to the long-distance transportation of horse-drawn carriages.
Unified weights and measures - During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the weights and measures of various countries were of different sizes, which was easy to cause confusion. Qin Shi Huang implemented a unified weights and measures, in addition to the same text of the book and the same track of the car, but also implemented a unified unit of coins, length units, volume units, and weight units.
Fourth, the construction of spiritual canals.
One of the oldest canals in the world, the Ling Canal is a great hydraulic project – but it is the product of military operations.
Qin Quanqian" - a symbol of Qin Shi Huang's unified currency Regarding the power of money, as early as the Qing Jiadao period, Dai Xi (Chunshi) recorded it in the "Guquan Conghua". Bao Kang (Zi Nian) in the Tongzhi period printed a rubbing map of power and money in his "Guan Gu Ge Spring Theory", and there was also a saying of "power and money". In 1940, Ding Fubao's "Dictionary of Ancient Coins" also contained relevant descriptions and rubbings, all of which were considered to be rare treasures in the world (the original coins contained in the book were missing). >>>More
During the Warring States period, although the basic structure of the characters was the same in various countries, there were differences in the complexity and layout of the characters. Li Si was instructed to unify the script, and he used the script of the Qin State as the basis, referring to the script of the Six Kingdoms, formulated a small seal, and wrote a model for the implementation of the whole country. At that time, there was also a popular calligraphy called Lishu, which was simpler than the small seal.
Objective reasons: After the long-term war of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people have become tired of war and yearn for peace. >>>More
Qin Shi Huang used "burning books to pit Confucianism" in his ideology to strengthen ideological rule, that is, only useful books such as planting and medicine were left in the country, and all the books of other hundreds of schools of thought were burned, and the Confucian scholars who secretly criticized Qin Shi Huang were buried alive in the capital Xianyang. However, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, followed Dong Zhongshu's suggestion: depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism. >>>More
