The mid-third century BC,a great person was born in China.
 
His name is "Zheng". (政)
Under the strange fate,he became king of the Qin at the age of 13.

The Qin had been monopoly by him. 
 
Zheng.

But after this,he purge this merchant.
He ordered to commit suicide against this merchant.
And he got the real power of the Qin.


・・・・・・・・・
 
 
The Qin was the most western country in China at that time.
And the Qin had taken the policy of increasing wealth and military power from generations before him with a focus on legalism. 

This policy was successful.
The Qin had an overwhelming force already at the time of his coronation.
And he also had the ability to maximize its power.

"I end the war-torn era.
Yes,I unify China."
He had this intention clearly.

He began the unification war against other countries.
And it became overwhelming of course.
 
He destroyed the other countries one after another.
220 BC, he was finally unified China.
This was the birth of the Qin Dynasty of unified dynasty of China first. 

Note:The Qin had a vast hinterland originally. 
Productivity at there was the underlying strength of the Qin.

And after the fall of the Qin Dynasty,Liu Bang was based in this land.
This had an important meaning for the Han dynasty founding of him.
 

・・・・・・・・・


皇帝.
 
After founded the Qin dynasty,he created this word.
Literal translation of this word is "the emperor" of course.
 
"I was called the king until now. (王) 
But I destroyed the kings of many.
And I became a person who achieved the unification of the first in Chinese history.

In short,I'm existence beyond the king.
Honorific title of me.
Therefore,it must be a new special name." 
 
This was done on the basis of the idea. 
 
"First Emperor." (始皇帝)
After this,he began to call themselves so.
 
So,this unified was the first experience for him and Chinese people.
