When the descendants of the six kingdoms surrendered to the feet of Great Qin , Qin Shihuang proudly examined the achievements of unprecedented people and no one to come. Since they have reached the highest peak in history, they might as well continue to create miracles along the highest peak.

That is to let this miracle be passed down for generations, and at the same time give these miracles a name that can be passed down through the ages. First of all, the issue of naming is the issue.

Prime Minister Li Si's suggestion

Prime Minister Li Si, as the most capable assistant, had already seen through the monarch's thoughts, and came out from the ministers, and said: "Your Majesty's achievements will be brighter for thousands of years, which cannot be compared with Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors !"

There is another minister whose name has disappeared without a trace in history, saying: " Mount Tai is the supreme emperor of the Five Mountains, Your Majesty may as well call himself Tai thai Emperor . "

Qin Shihuang sat on the dragon throne without saying a word. The ministers held their breath and concentrated. The long silence made the ministers tremble in their hearts. Li Si broke the silence like ice again and said, "Your Majesty has made merits and demerits in the Three Emperors, and the Five Emperors are also virtues. One word should be taken from it."

Qin Shihuang didn't know if the strange title of "Three Five" was flashed through his heart. When he chose "Emperor" from the four words, a burst of ecstasy in his heart, a good name.

So, from then on, there was an additional word that only one person could use: the emperor.

After the emperor's name appeared, Qin Shihuang began to suffer. Since ancient times to the present, the monarchs have exclusive self-names. Guizhou leaders can call themselves "I" or "I", and scholars can mention "I" or "Yu" in their articles.

During the Warring States Period, has a unique name for emperors: Lone King, Lone King, and Widow. The implication is that once a person has supreme power, he will become a lonely person and will no longer be able to enjoy the family happiness of ordinary people.

Qin Shihuang was unwilling to be the monarch of ancient times. He wanted to open up a new era, not only to refuse to give up power, but also to the joy of ordinary people. Another Chinese character exclusive to the emperor's self-called also surfaced: I. After establishing a unique position, Qin Shihuang began to build the Qin Empire drastically. The units of measurement in the six countries were different, making it impossible for fair and just practices to be achieved between regions.

A unified weights and measures is issued from Xianyang to all parts of the country, and the length, volume and weight of all parts of the country are unified. However, there is another obstacle between communication, namely text.

There are seven different ways to write the same word, and it is impossible to achieve normal cultural exchanges. It turns out that all countries have monarchs, but now the world is unified, and an imperial edict is issued again from the palace in Xianyang.

Qin Xiaozhuan has become a common text in the country, and the most convenient communication has been achieved between various places.

Name of Qin Shihuang

The Qin Empire is gradually unifying its behavior, culture, land, etc., and next we will choose a unique name for this empire.

Huangdi After defeating Yandi , the land under his feet was named Hua Xia. Hua means beautiful, and Xia means vast and distant. The meaning of China tells the people living in this land that our home is both vast and beautiful.

Later Dayu named the country Xia after the successful flood control, and this is also the meaning of obtaining it.

Shusun Tong mentioned another name in the book: the Kingdom of Huaxu. The classic "Zhuangzi" is based on the Huaxu country mentioned by Zhuangzi. The people live in a carefree land without any pain, and everyone is happy all day long.

But this name seems to him to have less meaning and cannot accurately represent the Qin Empire.At the court meeting, Qin Shihuang once again expressed his inner doubts: "Northerns call themselves Xiongnu , South is called Baiyue , what should we call them?"

Li Si once again showed his erudition and wisdom in politics, and said: "The ethnic groups in all directions are descendants of beasts. They are tattooed with hair and tattoos, not like the Central Plains, but a country of etiquette. There are also Rong tribes in the West, and the Yi tribes in the East, and their totems are all monster ancestors."

Qin Shihuang sat quietly on the dragon throne, waiting for the Prime Minister to make further judgments. He could always talk about his heart.

"Because I have rich products in China and the popularity is everywhere, it is beyond comparison!"

A novel word suddenly flashed through Qin Shihuang's heart: China.

The Qin Empire is in the center of the world and is charming at the same time. From that moment on, every person born in China can call his country the Chinese nation.

and even in modern times, China gradually deviated from its original narrow framework and became a word that included 6 ethnic groups .

After the fall of the Qing court, a unified leadership was urgently needed among all ethnic groups. Mr. Zhongshan followed the trend of the times and was elected as the interim president. When determining the name of the country, he also followed many democrats to discuss what name should a new country be named.

Someone took out the word "China", which means very simple. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world's disputes were the adolescence of our nation. The Qin Empire brought the chaotic era together again, and Qin Shihuang was a hero. Therefore, the two words "China" are the most suitable.

Mr. Zhongshan nodded and said, "In this era, this is a major change that has not been seen in a thousand years. Our nation urgently needs unity. Only a strong and unified country can resist foreign enemies and clear away the ghosts and monsters on this land."

So he finally chose this name: the Republic of China.

The two words "Chinese" have the meaning of inheritance, while the Republic of China tells all the people that our country has ended its autocracy and has entered an era of democracy.

Democrats Liang Qichao Mr. Lieutenant Chinese likes the two words China the most. He said that ancient China only refers to a Han nationality, but the five thousand years of history is not only the achievements of one Han nationality, but also the achievements of all nations.

Therefore, China must refer to all citizens, including Han, Man, Mongolian and Tibet. In order to cater to the meaning of the word China, the Chinese nation specially uses the star and striped flag as the national flag, and each color represents a nation.

Conclusion

Nowadays, born in a rare opportunity in a thousand years, the younger generation should be self-reliant. We must not make our Chinese nation fall into the crisis of the late Qing Dynasty again, but should take advantage of the opportunity to catch up.

allows the Chinese nation to recreate its true nature of the Han and Tang dynasties over the course of five thousand years, and no one dares to shout the title of "Sick Man in East Asia".

We have a deep cultural heritage, a friendly attitude of inclusiveness, and a great consensus of the whole world. What we lack is an opportunity. Once this opportunity comes, the Chinese nation will once again amazed the people of the world.

I believe that by that time, the two Chinese words will present a different meaning.
