Overall, the Qin and Han were what impacted China the most in terms of great improvements and great disasters near the end of their imperial power. The Qin built this strong foundation of a military to help protect their people and to also conquer any invaders that may try to break their peace. This correlation between military and family is shown much in Lewis’s book, where military is most emphasized when legalism starts to emerge within the Qin Dynasty. And although, legalism was not present much of late China, the idea of having an abundant and strong military was still intact up until the end of their empire, and also soon became their demise. The Han did not count on a rebellion brewing with each small military division they made, nonetheless

Qin dynasty is one of the most famous dynasty of Chinese history for being the shortest and the most brutal, and obviously for leaving a powerful political concept to later history in China. Although Qin dynasty was a short lived dynasty, their governing system has certainly made an important history impact to the Chinese history.

Stacy* and I met with each other in her office on a Friday morning in February. She owns a small, quaint flower shop in a city about an hour south of Houston. Her shop, which has been in her family for almost a hundred years, had not yet opened for business that day. While Stacy prepared herself for our interview, I occupied myself by admiring the thick piles of paper on her work desk. She had invoices, emails, check stubs and letters of appreciation covering the surface entirely. Empty and half-full coffee mugs were placed strategically about the room in places ranging from the printer, to the floor, and I even spotted one six feet above the ground on top of the dark, wooden cabinetry that hovered above her desk.

One experience so far in China that left a strong impression on my mind was a visit to the Shaanxi museum of history. Our tour guide was a locally educated young woman in her twenties. As she took us through the different periods of Chinese history, at every exhibit showing some sort of tool or mechanistic contraption she would turn and say “as you can see, the Chinese people are very smart!” She also recounted a story in which she was very offended that an American made a comment that Chinese people are short, to which she replied “yes, we are, but we have five thousand years of history and culture!” Both the richness and vastness of Chinese history was a huge source of pride for her, as her slightly illogical response to the American’s comment shows. In retrospect, her age denotes that she grew up on the government’s campaign in the 1990s to educated students about China’s greatness, to foster pride.
