First Emperor Of China:
FIRST EMPEROR OF CHINA tells the story of Ying Zheng, ruler of Qin,
who conquered neighbouring states and declared himself "Qin
Shihuang", First Emperor of China. To consolidate the new kingdom's
unity, Qin ordered standardized systems of currency, writing, weights
and measures, the completion of the Great Wall and the construction
of a network of roads and canals. Though these reforms were positive,
order was maintained by a harsh and intolerant system of justice.
Qin's battles, achievements and tyranny are recounted with a cast
of thousands in epic style, with historically accurate costumes
and meticulous attention to detail. Footage of Qin's tomb, the most
significant archaeological site in China, is also featured.
