Chapter 12 final words

Qin is a very complicated and special dynasty in Chinese history!Although it made many mistakes, the enterprising spirit of the Qin government, the people's awareness of freedom and independence, and the courage to pursue ideals and freedom are unmatched by future generations.The rapid demise of this dynasty is also related to the people's general awareness of freedom and the unaccustomed imperial autocracy, and it is fundamentally caused by the unfortunate law in the historical process (the inevitable historical inertia rebound of the enfeoffment system during the rapid transition from the enfeoffment system to the imperial autocracy , this historical process is the main reason for the fall of Qin).

The enterprising spirit of the Qin people, from the rulers of the empire to the general public, far exceeds that of future generations.They are the most vigorous people in Chinese history.Later, the so-called Han and Tang spirits were actually the enterprising spirit of Qin. Regrettably, the enterprising spirit of the rulers of the Qin Empire led to the exhaustion and collapse of the empire's human and material resources; and the aggressive thinking of the people further strengthened the instability of the empire.Therefore, Qin's creation was successful in making progress, but also failed in making progress.

But we're still proud of it. The world knows China's illustrious name from Qin, and it has always been used to refer to China with Qin.Later, the Indians called China China (Cina), which was related to the sound of the word "Qin".Of course, China was also called Sina - the Romans called China Sina - Sina.Whether it is China or Sina, they probably all came from the sound of "Qin" and eventually evolved into China. Sino- this root means China.And sinology means Sinology, and it is also derived from the pronunciation of the word "Qin". The word "Qin" became the synonym for China in the West, because the people of Qin came to Central Asia through a "fur road" (predecessor of the Silk Road) from Longxi to Central Asia and carried out long-distance communication with Western civilization.Qin's brilliance and boldness are indescribable.
