Did the Emperor of Qin’s efforts to standardize Chinese culture make him an effective ruler

1 answer

Yes and no.

Yes, because Shi Huangdi improved China. He expanded the size of China. He built the Great Wall to keep invaders out of China. He also made the rules a unified set of Legalist laws that applied to everyone. Additionally, he standardized money, weights, and measures and improved the writing system by reducing the amount of characters.

No, because emperor Shi Huangdi killed many people. Scholars disliked his rule because it went against ancient Chinese practices about teaching by setting good examples. Instead, he inforced harsh punishment (Legalist beliefs). Furthermore, his attempts to keep invaders out with the Great Wall did not work.
