Update 1: What about the comparison of centralized rule?

Qin Shihuang made great contributions, and everything in the Han Dynasty was based on the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang unified China10k/trad/history/2/21a/21a01210/BC (22 The Qin Dynasty (22 BC1-206 BC) was established, with Xianyang as its capital. Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, thought that his merits were higher than that of Huang San and his virtue was higher than that of the Five Emperors, so he adopted these two honorifics to become the emperor, as the proper name of the son of heaven. He claimed to be the "first emperor" of the Qin Dynasty (22 1-2 10), and his descendants will be "II" and "III" ... even infinite. Qin Shihuang established centralization with the emperor as the core: the central government is divided into three levels: government affairs, military affairs and supervision, which are under the responsibility of Prime Minister Qiu and Imperial Physician; The local government abolished the feudal system and divided the world into 36 counties (later increased to 4 1 county), with counties below and grass-roots organizations such as townships, pavilions and villages below. In this way, the whole country is under the strict rule of the emperor and his family from top to bottom. In order to avoid the resurgence of the forces of the six countries, Qin Shihuang also took a series of measures to consolidate and unify, such as leveling obstacles, destroying weapons, relocating rich and powerful people, and unifying writing, currency, tracks, weights and measures, etc. In agriculture, Qin practiced "strengthening the foundation and restraining the end", allowing private ownership of land and free trading. In addition, Qin Shihuang also extensively built Chidao leading to the whole country with Xianyang as the center. And he himself has visited all parts of the country many times along the newly-built equator, and has always been happy to record his achievements in various places. Qin Shihuang's series of unification measures were naturally aimed at establishing the rule of his family, but the system he created was often followed by successive dynasties, thus laying the foundation for China to be a unified multi-ethnic country. 2011-06-141:48: 49 supplement: after Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, the county system was implemented; After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he will continue to implement the policy of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing to cut the vassal. The centralization of Qin Shihuang was obviously better than that of Han Wudi. China10k/trad/history/2/21z/21z0304 abolished the feudal system, and after the national unification in the 26th year of Qin Shihuang (the first 22 years1year), he became prime minister. Qin Shihuang ordered the ministers to discuss, and everyone agreed, but Tingwei Reese objected, saying that there were many children with the same surname in the Zhou Dynasty. But after a long time, children and grandchildren alienated and attacked each other, and the world was restless. There should be no more princes. 2011-06-141:48: 56 Supplement: Qin Shihuang accepted Li Si's opinion and divided the whole country into 36 counties. Since then, the northern expedition to Xiongnu and Nanping Baiyue has expanded its territory to more than 40 counties. A county has a chief (chief officer), a county official (in charge of civil affairs), a captain (in charge of military affairs) and a supervisor (in charge of supervision). There are several counties below the county level, with the county magistrate or county magistrate (the big county is called the magistrate and the small county is called the sheriff) as the main official, the county magistrate is in charge of civil affairs and the county commandant is in charge of military affairs. These local officials are directly appointed by the central government and can be replaced at any time. Unlike the feudal princes in the past, they are privately owned by their own people. This political reform measure strengthened centralization, so it has been used by later generations. 2011-06-141:49:11supplement: China10k/trad/history/2/22/22c. He continued to implement the policy of reducing vassals of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, canceled a large number of vassals, and restored the county administrative system directly under the emperor throughout the country. In order to strengthen centralization, Emperor Wu strengthened his control over ideology and culture, and accepted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone". Open a business school in the capital Chang' an to teach Confucianism; And reward academics in many ways, recruit talents, and let many Confucian scholars hold important positions through examinations.
