2 Classroom Debate Excerpt 1 from China: Ancient and Modern, 1900 Finding that the northern states of Thain, Chaou, and Yen were building lines of fortifications along their northern frontier for protection against the incursions of the Heung-nu, he [Qin Shi ] conceived the idea of constructing one gigantic wall, which was to stretch across the whole northern limit of the huge empire, from the sea to the furthest western corner of the modern province of Kan-su [Gansu].... He [Qin Shi ] ordered the whole existing literature, with the exception of books on medicine, agriculture and divination should be destroyed. This decree was almost universally carried out, and many scholars were put to death for failing in obedience to it. Miller, J. Martin. China: Ancient and Modern.

3 Classroom Debate Excerpt 2 from China: Ancient and Modern, 1900 This sovereign [Qin Shi ] was but thirteen years of age when he ascended the throne, but young as he was he speedily everywhere made his influence felt. He chose Hien-Yang, the modern Se-gan Fu, as the capital, and built there a magnificent palace, which was the wonder and admiration of his contemporaries. He constructed roads through the empire, he formed canals and erected numerous handsome public buildings. Having by these and other means settled the internal affairs of the kingdom, he turned his attention to the enemies beyond his frontier. Chief among these were the Heung-nu Tartars, whose attacks had for years kept the Chinese and neighboring principalities in a state of disquiet. Against these foes he marched an army of 300,000 men and completely routed them, exterminating those in the neighborhood of China, and driving the rest into the mountains of Mongolia. Miller, J. Martin. China: Ancient and Modern. Los Angeles, CA: Sanderson-Whitten, Hathitrust. Web. Discovery Education Techbook Discovery Communications, LLC
4 Classroom Debate Excerpt from A History of China, 1969 He [Qin Shi ] planned the capital in an ambitious style but, although there was real need for extension of the city, his plans can scarcely be regarded as of great service. His enormous palace, and also his mausoleum which was built for him before his death, were constructed in accordance with astral notions. Within the palace the emperor continually changed his residential quarters, probably not only from fear of assassination but also for astral reasons. His mausoleum formed a hemispherical dome, and all the stars of the sky were painted on its interior. In addition to this, the frontier walls already existing in the mountains were rebuilt and made into a single great system. Thus came into existence in 214 B.C., out of the blood and sweat of countless pressed labourers, the famous Great Wall. On one of his periodical journeys the emperor fell ill and died. His death was the signal for the rising of many rebellious elements. Nobles rose in order to regain power and influence; generals rose because they objected to the permanent pressure from the central administration and their supervision by controllers; men of the people rose as popular leaders because the people were more tormented than ever by forced labour, generally at a distance from their homes. Within a few months there were six different rebellions and six different rulers. Eberhard, Wolfram. A History of China. Berkeley and Los Angeles, CA: University of California Press, Web.
