Shi Huangdi 3rd Song Analysis

Decent Essays
The songs I chose match the criteria in many ways. The 1st song is dark and more terrifying, much like I imagine discovering a tomb filled with thousands of clay men would feel. The 2nd song is about hard work and long days, which it would have taken to uncover such a large tomb. The 3rd song is about preparing for something big, and I think that this would be a big event.
Best emperor criteria: educations, improvements for farmers, empathy, treatment of civilians, infrastructure
Shi Huangdi: ⅖
Li Bang: ⅗
I would have preferred to live under Li Bang. He treated the peasants better than Shi Huangdi. It would have been a more peaceful life. I believe that one month of labor per year and military service is a fair trade for protection and security.

Though it came at the severe cost of public sentiment, Qin was an extremely proactive emperor who implemented much of what he had envisioned before. It’s agreed upon that the Qin Dynasty laid the foundation for the massive cultural and economic development of China that took place during the Han Dynasty. Although the Qin Dynasty is easily considered among the most influential time periods in Chinese history, it actually failed to achieve many of its ideological goals. In fact, socioeconomic disparity was not eliminated and despite the ideal of enriching the lives of the common people, it was under Qin rule in which public resentment of the authoritarian government was at its peak as there were countless peasant revolts against the bureaucratic rule of China.…
