A proposito di questo titolo

What does it take to forge a single, unbreakable nation from centuries of bloody chaos? In 221 BC, one man answered that question with terrifying ambition, welding seven warring kingdoms into the entity we now call China. This is the story of the ultimate empire builder’s gambit, a vision of unity imposed at a staggering human cost. This episode plunges into the Warring States period, the brutal, perpetual chess game that shaped a young prince named Ying Zheng. We follow his ruthless ascent as he transforms the Kingdom of Qin into an unstoppable military machine, conquering all rivals to declare himself Qin Shihuang—the First Emperor. The narrative explores how he didn't just win a war; he engineered a nation through radical standardization, terrifying laws, and monumental projects meant to cement his legacy for ten thousand generations. Listeners will uncover the paradoxical genesis of imperial China: how a framework for enduring civilization was built on foundations of tyranny and terror. You’ll understand the monumental achievements—from the Great Wall to a unified script—alongside the paranoia and cruelty that ultimately made the Qin Dynasty as fragile as it was formidable. Discover how the blueprint for a millennia-old culture was drawn in a single, violent lifetime. #QinDynasty #FirstEmperor #WarringStates #ChineseHistory #QinShihuang #UnificationOfChina #AncientEmpires Hosted by Ibnul Jaif Farabi.
