Qin Shi Huang was the founder of the Qin dynasty and was the first emperor of a unified China. Before Qin, China had multiple diverging states where each of them had their calendars, writings and road widths. He invented the title "emperor" after he had conquered all of the Chinese states and unified them. From 247 to 221 BC he was regarded as Zheng, King of Qin and only from 221 BC until his death he became the First Chinese Emperor. Although Qin Shi Huang made many vital contributions that had left an eternal mark on subsequent Chinese history, he is not exactly remembered as a benevolent ruler who focused for the welfare of his subjects. Instead, he is often viewed as a tyrannical and authoritarian ruler by the later generations. Late in his life, he became fearful of death that he was obsessed with seeking immortality.
