China. The Great Wall of China was begun under his rule. It stretched for over 5,000 kilometres (3,000
miles) across hill and plain, from the boundaries of Korea in the east to the troublesome Ordos Desert in
the west. Shi Huangdi also expanded the boundaries of his empire, built the Grand Canal in the south,
redistributed land and, initially, was a fair and just ruler.. A number of them were detected; tradition
says that many of them were sent to labor on the Great Wall, and that four hundred and sixty were put
to death. Nevertheless some of the literati memorized the complete works of Confucius and passed
them on by word of mouth to equal memories. (Durant, 697). Shortly after Shi Huangdi’ s death, the Qin
Dynasty quickly collapsed through the intrigue and ineptitude of people like Hu-Hai, Li Siu, and another
advisor, Zhao Gao, and the Han Dynasty began with the accession of Liu-Bang.

THE HAN DYNASTY:

Han are considered the first dynasty to write their history down The Yellow Emperor’s Canon of
Medicine, China’s earliest written record on medicine was codified during the Han Dynasty Paper was
invented at this time and writing became more sophisticated.He reduced taxes and disbanded his army
who, nevertheless, rallied without delay when called upon. After his death in 195 BCE, the crown prince
Liu Ying succeeded him and continued his policies. He sent his emissary Zhang Qian to the west in 138
BCE which resulted in the official opening of the Silk Road in 130 BCE. He also reformed transportation,
roads, and trade and decreed many other public projects, employing millions as state workers in these
undertakings.
