What are the measures to unify the Qin Dynasty?

The measures for the unification of the Qin Dynasty are:

1. Politically, a set of autocratic centralization has been established. He stipulated that the supreme ruler was called the emperor, and all major state affairs were decided by the emperor alone, and the main officials were appointed and removed by the emperor. In the central government, there is a prime minister Qiu and a physician under the emperor. Locally, the county system is implemented, and the whole country is divided into 36 counties, with counties below. The county system was used by later feudal dynasties for a long time.

2. Economically: unify writing, currency and weights and measures. After the unification of Qin Dynasty, Xiao Zhuan was regarded as a national standard character, and later it became popular among the people with simpler strokes. Qin Shihuang also stipulated the unified use of round hole Qin copper coins (round hole coins) throughout the country; At the same time, it also unifies the degree, quantity and balance; Conducive to economic and cultural exchanges around the country.

3. Ideologically, in order to strengthen ideological control, the practice of "burning books to bury Confucianism" has caused great losses to the ancient culture of China.

4. Militarily: consolidate and develop the frontier; Build the Great Wall of Wan Li from Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the east to resist the invasion of Xiongnu. Develop Yue nationality areas and dig Lingqu (one of the oldest existing artificial canals in the world).

Measures to consolidate and unify the Qin Dynasty are as follows:

1, promulgated the Qin law and unified decree.

Qin Shihuang adopted the advice of Han Fei, a legalist during the Warring States Period, and practiced the rule of law. The laws formulated by the Qin Empire were very detailed and harsh, which was a tool for Qin Shihuang to strengthen his imperial power and consolidate the centralized political system. Qin law played an important role in the Qin dynasty's efforts to consolidate centralization, but it also brought great pain to the people.

2, unified currency, weights and measures

Qin Shihuang abolished currencies of different shapes and sizes in various countries during the Warring States Period, and changed to gold as the currency, with the unit of 22; Take the round hole copper coin of the old Qin line as the next coin, and the text is half, which is as heavy as its text.

Qin Shihuang unified the national weights and measures with the standards of weights and measures formulated by Shang Yang.

3, unified text

After the Qin Dynasty unified China, it took a series of measures to consolidate its rule, including the famous "Wentong Calligraphy", which unified the different writing styles used by various countries in the Warring States period into the so-called Xiao Zhuan, which was said to have been invented by Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty.

Based on the original Qin system, Qin Shihuang unified the political, economic and cultural systems of some countries in an attempt to eliminate the regional differences caused by long-term separatist regimes as much as possible in order to facilitate reunification.

4. Build Chidao and Lingqu

In order to effectively control the vast territory, Qin Shihuang also began to build a strategic thoroughfare called "Chidao" in the second year after reunification, from the northeast of Xianyang, the capital city, to Yanqi (now Hebei, Shandong) and then to Wu Chu (now Jiangsu, Hubei) in the southeast. If something goes wrong, Qin Jun, which is concentrated in a strategic place, can quickly move to the place where it needs to control the situation. This deployment is conducive to preventing the two disadvantages of scattered forces or putting the cart before the horse. It is an important measure to strengthen centralization and has great strategic significance.

The main project of Lingqu is what we usually call waterway. When attacking Lingnan, a canal was dug to facilitate the transportation of rations. Lingqu has always been an important channel for waterway transportation between Lingnan and the Central Plains, and it has been repaired, maintained and expanded for more than two thousand years. Lingqu plays an important role in strengthening the political, economic and cultural ties between North and South and promoting local economic development. Control the water level of the river. As soon as the ship enters the gate, it will close the gate to raise the water level and let the ship go up step by step, from Lijiang to Xiangjiang, or from Xiangjiang to Lijiang. In this way, the rations and materials needed by Qin Jun can be supplemented through Lingqu.

5. Build the Great Wall of Wan Li.

The defensive function of the Great Wall is not "self-defeating" as most people think; Its real use lies in that the invaders may concentrate their efforts on breaking through one or two passes and rushing into the mainland, but as long as the whole Great Wall has strong troops stationed, the invaders will always be in danger of being intercepted and ambushed and unable to go home.

The Great Wall has seized the traffic arteries of Yanshan Mountain and the northern branch of Taihang Mountain. Even if the nomadic cavalry broke through the customs, they could only harass the mainland and could not gain a foothold in the mainland, thus shaking the foundation of the Chinese empire.

Step 6 organize immigration

Large-scale immigration to Fubian County has played a positive role in the development and defense of border areas. Qin Shihuang's extensive immigration activities played a positive role in the establishment and consolidation of Qin Dynasty's rule, national unity, the establishment of political system and the development of border areas. Immigration policy became an important means for Qin Shihuang to maintain political rule and eliminate internal contradictions.
