CHINA’S FIRST EMPEROR

By Harshit Saboo (7 D)

Shi Huangdi had a massive wall built to protect his empire from attacks by northern tribes (later called the Huns). The great wall was made by joining together a series of smaller walls put up by earlier rulers. It is still the biggest man-made structure in the world.
The Great China Wall is 3460 km (250 miles) long. A low wall (or parapet) protects soldiers from enemy arrows. If enemies attack, a fire is lit on the top of the tower to earn other soldiers.
By around 480 BC. China was made up of seven Kingdoms, which were constantly at war with each other. By 221 BC. The Kingdom of Qin ( pronounced “Chin”) had conquered all the others and the king of Qin controlled a huge empire. He called himself Qin Shi Huangdi, which means “First Emperor of China.”

To prevent powerful nobles from rebelling against him, Shi Huangdi forced them to move to the capital city, Panyang, where he could keep an eye on them. Weapons belonging to the nobles were taken away and melted down.

Shi Huangdi believed that people were evil and had to be forced to obey the law. Anyone who disobeyed was brutally punished. He ordered the burning of any books that did not agree with his ideas, and scholars who protested were thrown into a pit and buried alive.
