Farah & Karls, World History: The Human Experience, (New York: Glencoe McGraw-Hill, 2001).
Qin Shi Huang imposed a new order on China. He ended the power of the local lords by taking land from many of them and imposing a tax on
landowners. He appointed educated men instead of nobles as officials to run his government.
Qin even imposed censorship, clamping down on scholars who discussed books and ideas. In 213 B.C. he ordered all books burned except those about “practical” subjects like agriculture, medicine, and magic. In this way he hoped to break people’s ties to the past so they would not criticize the present. About 460 scholars resisted and were executed.

Farah & Karls, World History: The Human Experience, (New York: Glencoe McGraw-Hill, 2001).
Qin’s subjects saw him as a cruel tyrant who had lost the Mandate of
Heaven. Nobles were angry because he had destroyed the aristocracy;
scholars detested him for the burning of books; and peasants hated his
forced-labor gangs. In 210 B.C. Qin died, and soon the dynasty itself came
to an end. Even so, the rule of the Qin established foundations for the
Chinese state that would last 2,000 years.

In 207 B.C. Liu Bang overthrew the Qin. A military official from a peasant
background, Liu defeated his most powerful rival in 202 B.C. and declared
himself the emperor of a new dynasty, the Han. The Han governed China
until A.D. 220, more than 400 years. The Han emperors used Qin forms of
centralized power, but without the harshness of Qin rule.
