Qin Dynasty And Han Dynasty Qin Dynasty(221BC-- 206 BC) The Qin Dynasty (Chinese: 秦朝; pinyin: Qín Cháo?) was the first ruling dynasty of Imperial China, lasting from 221 to 206 BC. The Qin state derived its name from its heartland of Qin, in modern-day Shaanxi. The Qin Dynasty achieved increased trade, improved agriculture, and military security. Due to the abolition of landowning lords and system of enfeoffment, the central government now had direct control of the masses, giving it access to a much larger workforce. This allowed for the construction of ambitious projects, such as a wall on the northern border, now known as the Great Wall of China. The Qin Dynasty also introduced several reforms: currency, weights and measures were standardized, and a better system of writing was established. Founded the system of prefectures and counties, which is a preform of Chinese system of provinces. An attempt to purge all traces of the old dynasties led to the infamous burning of books and burying of scholars incident, which has been criticised greatly by subsequent scholars.
