About this title

Synopsis

This book explores the rise, rule and death of Qin Shi Huang; the most controversial figure in Chinese history. We consider the emergence of the fiercely ambitious Qin Dynasty from the fires of the Warring States Period, the achievement of a man many consider to be a tyrant, and the remarkable mausoleum which ensures the First Emperor will never be forgotten. His burial is also put into context as we examine Chinese beliefs and burial practices from the Neolithic period onwards, and explore the achievements and legacy of the Qin's successors, the Han Dynasty.

This richly illustrated book accompanied the exhibition China's First Emperor and the Terracotta Warriors. It was organised by the National Museums Liverpool, UK and the Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau and Shaanxi History Museum (Shaanxi Cultural Heritage Promotion Centre), People's Republic of China.
