What was the difference between a king and an emperor at the time of Qin Shi Huang?

Wang was the supreme ruler of China's slave society, and Huang was the supreme ruler of China's feudal society.

Generally, kings are only royal children or people who have made great contributions to the country to be crowned kings, and there were no emperors before Qin, so the king is the greatest.

The kings were all princes and kings divided by Zhou Tianzi.

The emperor is the self-proclaimed first emperor of Yingzheng.

The kings before Qin Shi Huang were:

1: Qin Xiaogong (361 BC-338 BC, reigned 24 years) Yingquliang, during his time abroad, he adopted the Shang Dynasty Transformation Method, which laid the foundation for the strength of the Qin State.

2: King Huiwen of Qin (338 BC-311 BC, reigned for 27 years) Yingsi, ascended the throne at the age of nineteen, destroyed the nine clans of Shang Marting, and did not abolish the law of Shang Marting. In 325 BC, he proclaimed himself King of Qin, the first king of Qin.

Zhang Yi assisted in the six countries. The northern expedition to Yiqu, the west of Bashu, the winter out of the Han Valley, the south to the business. Lay a solid foundation for Qin's unification of China.

The Son of Heaven committed the same crime as the common people, that is, when Yingsi was the crown prince. killed someone, Shang Ying immediately punished the crown prince and Taifu Yingqian with criminal law and sentenced him to death.

3: King Wu of Qin (311-307 BC, reigned for 6 years) Yingdang, the son of King Huiwen of Qin, raised the crown in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, smashed his muscles and bones, and died of exhaustion. He was 23 years old.

4: King Zhaoxiang of Qin (306 BC-251 BC, reigned 56 years) Yingji, the half-brother of King Wu of Qin. In the early days, he was a hostage in the Yan Kingdom, and his mother Empress Dowager Xuan (Mi Bazi, Mi Yue), his uncle Wei Ran, Marquis Wei Ran, Huayang Jun Mi Rong, worshiped Fan Yan as the prime minister, and adopted the strategy of distant friendship and close merit, laying the foundation for the victory of the Qin Unification War.

The general rose in vain. >5: King Xiaowen of Qin (reigned 3 days from 250 BC to 250 BC) Yingzhu, the second son of King Zhaoxiang. Due to the long reign of King Zhaoxiang, the eldest son had died when he was on the throne of the crown prince, and the second son An Guojun (when King Zhaoxiang was in power, Yingzhu was named An Guojun).

Reigned for 3 days and died mysteriously.

6: King Xiang of Qin Zhuang (249-247 BC, reigned for 3 years) won Chu, also known as Zichu, Yiren. Son of King Hyowen.

In his early years, he was a hostage in Handan, Zhao State. With the assistance of Lü Buwei, Yiren was introduced to Lady Huayang (the empress of King Xiaowen), who had no children. Aliens are heirs.

He was renamed Zichu, and was later made the crown prince by King Xiaowen.

Take Lü Buwei's concubine, Zhao Ji. Born in Handan. Zi Chu is the queen mother's biological mother is the Empress Dowager Xia, and the adoptive mother Mrs. Huayang is the Empress Dowager Huayang, and Lü Buwei is appointed as the prime minister. At this time, Zhao Guo returned Zhao Ji's mother and son (Yingzheng mother and son) to Qin.

The first emperor of China since history.

The violent Qin is a deliberate smear by later generations of Confucian literati.

The unification of China, the unification of weights and measures, and the unification of the written language are all immeasurable merits.

The so-called brutal "burning books and pit Confucianism" is recorded in the historical records as "burning poetry books and pit warlocks". It was inevitable that Qin would establish a country with Legalism and restrict the development of Confucianism, and it was also because the warlocks deceived the king.

The Meng Jiangnu crying down the city wall that has been circulated is also written by later generations (archaeological evidence is a song book that appeared in the Tang Dynasty) to discredit Daqin.

Meng Jiangnu story prototype: the wife of Qi Liang, a warrior of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Liang died in battle with the Duke of Qi Zhuang attacking Ju State, and when his body was transported back to China, his wife was in her husband's coffin, and she would be buried outside the city.

Later generations said that the Qin people Fan Qiliang died when he built the Great Wall, and his wife Meng Jiangnu sent winter clothes to the city, and wept bitterly when she heard her husband's death, and the city collapsed.

Qin II may have been brutal, killing his brother and killing his sister. But the First Emperor was by no means a brutal person, he destroyed the Six Kingdoms, but did not destroy the royal family of the Six Kingdoms, and the rebellion at the end of Qin was mainly due to these people.

Hello. Historically, Qin Shi Huang was a brutal man, tyrannical and extortionate, but he also had strong leadership skills.

Emperor of the Ages, he was the first emperor of a feudal dynasty in Chinese history, he unified the six countries, stood out among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and completed the feat of recovering the Central Plains. He had an indelible influence on future generations. He was an emperor of great talent, and his achievements were incomparable to those of later emperors!

He created the imperial system, abolished the feudal system, established a set of county system and bureaucracy from the first to the local, he won Jiuding to suppress the luck of China, he opened up the territory of the south and conquered a hundred battles to incorporate Lingnan into the Chinese territory, and promoted the political, economic, and cultural development between Han and Vietnam. He attacked the Xiongnu in the north and fled, so that the north and south of the river got rid of the war for a long time. He reformed the currency system, unified weights and measures, and rectified traffic so that its vehicles were of uniform width.

The construction of the Great Wall made a great contribution to resisting the invasion of the Xiongnu in the future.

Qin Shi Huang thought that his merits were better than those of the previous Three Qing Emperors and the Five Emperors, and adopted the "Emperor" of the Three Emperors and the "Emperor" of the Five Emperors to form the title of "Emperor", and was the first monarch in Chinese history to use the title of "Emperor", so he called himself "First Emperor".

The Three Emperors refer to the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of the Earth and the Emperor of Man, namely the Three Emperors of Fuxi, Nuwa and Shennong. According to the records of the "Historical Records of the Five Emperors", the five emperors are the Yellow Emperor, Zhuan Xu, Emperor Yu, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, the emperor, the master of living things, and the sect of Xingyi. Qin Shi Huang combined the two highest titles in the world, emperor and emperor, and he was the first emperor in Chinese history.

He was a famous politician, strategist, and reformer in Chinese history, and the first iron-fisted politician to complete the unification of China. Establish the first multi-ethnic centralized state.
