To what extent was Qin Shi Huangdi a successful ruler? Qin Shi Huangdi was the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty who ruled a unified China from 246 BC to 221 BC who, in his reign, standardized the Chinese system of writing and their Chinese currency, benefited the economic development and cultural exchanges, built the iconic Great Wall of China and unified the seven warring states of China.

Qin Shi Huangdi was able to annex all seven states and bring them under his control.
In this way, the Tripitaka is very significant to adherents of Buddhism as it provides a clear set of expectations of the adherent of the religion as well as providing a guide to the teachings of Buddha.

During these years, which mark the first in Mao’s reign as leader in China, there were a number of key features of Communist rule in China, notably land reform, economic policies, as well as violence. In this essay, I intend to argue that violence was a key feature, but that there are other factors that could be described as being ‘key’ also. Mao’s immediate aim upon coming to power was to gain control of the cities, where the GMD had been at its strongest. He was determined to stamp out any remaining support for the GMD and ordered massacres of suspects. 65,000 people were killed in Guangzhou and 28,000 in Shanghai.
