Qin Shihuang-di was born in 259 B.C.in the state of Qin, one of the seven states into China was divided into at that time. Being only thirteen years old, he became king of the state of Qin. When Qin Shihuang-di turned 36 years old, he had fought and united the seven states into a whole kingdom known as China. The First Emperor of China, brought a new order to the united China, improving many things .He is responsible for the unification of the coinage system and the standardization of the weight, measure, and the Chinese script. He gave the order to start building The Great Wall, and built a major communication system compound by roads and canals through the China. As many other leaders in other places and time in the world history, QinShihuang-di built a tomb for himself .Qin Shihuang  di died in 210 B.C., and he is still resting in one of the great wonder on the world . The first Emperor‘s tomb was built in the center of an enclosed "spirit city." It contained sacred stone tablets, inscribed towers, and prayer temples. All of these structures were part of the "inner city" within a walled square more than a quarter mile long on each side. In addition to that, outside the city, in the east part were set more than 7,000 life size figures of warriors, an army of terracotta figures that would protect the tomb in the afterlife, therefore it is now known as China’s Terracotta Army. Qing Shihuang di’s tomb was found in 1974, and it has become one of China’s cultural treasures because it is still giving us information about the political, philosophical, and artistic life of ancient Chinese people.
