在中國參觀兵馬俑(Terracotta Warriors and Horses)時,很多人都會興趣盎然。這一奇跡建于秦始皇統治時期。秦始皇名嬴政,生于公元前259年,秦王之子。他于公元前221年統一六國,建立了中國歷史上第一個中央集權的、統一的多民族(multi-ethnic)封建國家。為了鞏固新政權,秦始皇在各個領域推行改革,如統一漢字、貨幣和度量衡(weights and measures),為中國封建社會的發展作出了突出貢獻。
Many people may feel fascinated when they are visiting the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in China. This miracle was constructed under the reign of Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang, born as Ying Zheng in 259 BC, was the son of the king of the Qin State. He united the six independent kingdoms and founded the first centralized, unified, multi-ethnic feudal state in Chinese history in 221 BC. In order to consolidate the nascent empire, Qin Shi Huang conducted reforms in various areas. For example, he standardized Chinese writing, currency, weights and measures. Qin Shi Huang has made outstanding contributions to the development of China’s feudal society.
