Script: 秦始皇 By Xuemei Li  (Copyright Reserved) 秦始皇,原名赢政,出生于赵国的首都邯郸,是中国历史上最著名的政治家和改革家之一。秦始皇是中国历史上第一个皇帝。秦始皇继承王位的时候正是中国的春秋战国时期,那时候各国之间的斗争非常激烈。秦始皇积极推行统一战略,用了大约不到十年时间兼并了六国,把中国带入君主专制的封建社会时代。秦始皇统一中国有利于人民生活的安定和社会的发展。完成统一大业后,秦始皇按照法家的思想治理国家。他废除了分封制,实行郡县制,建立了一套对后世影响深远的封建专制的政治体制。他还陆续统一了货币、度量衡和文字,促进了秦国国内经济的发展和文化的交流。但是,秦始皇使用非常严酷的法律和暴力的惩罚手段来约束和控制人民。这样的严刑苛政不仅给人民带来了沉重的灾难,而且严重破坏了当时秦国生产力的发展。为了防止匈奴的入侵,秦始皇还派人修建了如今举世闻名的长城。虽然修建长城耗费了大量的财力物力,以及加重了老百姓的负担,但在当时的历史条件下,确实起到了阻止敌人入侵的积极作用。除此之外,他还派大量的人,为自己建造了世界上最大、最壮观的皇家陵墓,这个陵墓就是现在最著名的秦始皇陵兵马俑。如果你去西安,你一定要去参观一下秦始皇陵兵马俑。 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnmandarinwithlilaoshi/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnmandarinwithlilaoshi/support
