Explanation:
The Qin dynasty (221 a.c. - 206 a.c.) unified China under the hand of Zheng, the young king of the Qin state, and his prime-minister Li Si. Zheng conquered the feudal states of Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi and adopted the name Qin Shi Huangdi meaning "First Emperor". Shi Huangdi was violent, unpopular and considered an autocratic tyrant, his government was bureaucratic and legalist, opposed to Confucio´s predicaments.
