The Qin Dynasty lasted for just 15 years, making it the shortest major dynasty in all of Chinese history. Yet, every single Chinese dynasty that came after it somehow copied its government. Copied its laws. Copied its roads, its currency, its writing system, its entire way of running a country.

Shiji (史記) - Records of the Grand Historian. Written c. 94 BC. During the Han dynasty. This foundational ancient source for virtually everything known about the Qin dynasty. → The single most important source for this documentary. Sima Qian wrote during the early Han dynasty (the dynasty that replaced Qin), roughly 115 years after the Qin dynasty's collapse. He drew on earlier documents, oral tradition, and eyewitness accounts now lost to us. Almost every named event in the video— Shang Yang's reforms, the wooden pole story, Qin Shi Huang's conquests, the burning of books, the death conspiracy, the salted fish carts, traces back to the Shiji. ◆ English translation: Sima Qian.
