The monarch known now as Qin Shi Huang (Chinese: 秦始皇; pinyin: Qín Shǐ Huáng; Wade-Giles: Ch'in Shih-huang) (November / December 260 BC – September 10, 210 BC), personal name Ying Zheng, was king of the Chinese State of Qin from 247 BC to 221 BC (officially still under the Zhou Dynasty), and then the first emperor of a unified China from 221 BC to 210 BC, ruling under the name the First Emperor (Wade-Giles: Shih Huang-Tih, 始皇帝). As ruler, he was known for the introduction of Legalism and also for achieving the herculean task of unifying China.
Qin Shi Huang remains a controversial figure in Chinese history. Having unified China, he and his chief adviser Li Si passed a series of major reforms aimed at cementing unification, and they undertook some gigantic projects, most notably the precursor version of the current Great Wall of China and a massive national road system, at the expense of numerous human lives sacrificed. To ensure stability, he outlawed Confucianism and buried many of its scholars alive, banning the possession of (and burning) all books other than those he decreed.
For all the tyranny of his autocratic rule, Qin Shi Huang is still regarded by many today as a pivotal figure in Chinese history whose unification of China has endured for more than two millennia (with interruptions)
