tomb protected when he died, so
people made the Terra Cotta Warriors
to protect his tomb. The museum of
Qin Terra Cotta Warriors and horses is
located in the city of Xi’an. The Qin
dynasty only lasted around 15 years
total.

was able to make all the other states to accept his rule to.

China was all one empire now, Emperor Qin made everyone
use the same characters to write with, and measurements,
for measuring.
Emperor Qin did not trust the other
kings so he did not let them rule
anything. Instead, he chose his own
assistants and sent them out as
governors and judges for each part of
his empire, so he could keep an eye on
all the king’s and their families.
