The Qin's Inventions
The Qin's Inventions/Qin Shihuangdi
The Inventions of the Qin Dynasty have a lot meaning and greatness that played great contributions in changing the way of thought of ancient China and the world. Until now, their achievements can be seen and appreciated not only by the Chinese people but almost everyone in this world.
The Qin dynasty was well known for its advances. Qin Shihuangdi(a former ruler) created money/universal coinage, currency and script. He ordered to reproduce coins that were made of copper. It looked similar to the common old coin but had a square hole in the middle. He standardized the system of the government, the language and the system of weights and measurement as well. The reason of standardizing the language and the writing is to make the communication easier for them considering that the dynasty’s territory is vast.
He made almost everything the same. He changed China geographically by building a network of roads and canals throughout the land. This is the reason why he was credited for building the Great Wall of China. He united several defensive walls that didn't work anymore in the china wall, in the northern frontier by building additional defensive walls that will link them to each other. The purpose of the great wall was to protect the dynasty from foreign invaders. Qin Shihuangdi was an important ruler for the Qin.
In 1974, an excavation begun and brought to surface over 6,000 life size terracotta army. It was an army of thousands of life size sculpture guarding the tomb of Ying Zheng. This discovery marks a spectacular breakthrough in archeology in mainland China. Other achievements of Qin dynasty include legalism, multiplication table, crossbow, and irrigation.

The Qin Made the great wall!
The Qin started the great wall of china and then it took 5 dynasties after the qin to finish the wall. The Great Wall of China was, in the beginning, not meant to defend all of the empire. It started with several construction of walls between the Warring States meant to locate each of their defences. Although it was started in the previous dynasty and completed two dynasties after, it became the “great wall” because it was started by the Qin Dynasty. They thought they needed more protection from barbarians.
