-'''Qin''' was the name of a people and a state in ancient [[China]].  They lived in the Wei Valley of eastern China that conquered rival states until they had created the first Chinese Empire.  It proved to be short lived however (221 to 206 B.C.). The Qin ruler, [[Shi Huangdi]] standardized many aspects of Chinese society and ruthlessly marshalled subjects for military and construction projects.  This engendered hostility that led to the fall of his dynasty shortly after his death.
