Ying Zheng (259 B.C.-210 B.C.), the son of King Zhuangxiang, is the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He ascended the throne at 13, and took over with state affairs himself at 21. In 221 B.C., Qin Shi Huang unified the country and established the first centralized feudal state in Chinese history. Qin Shi Huang unified the Chinese characters in writing, currency, and measures for length, capacity and weight. The imperial power system set up by him lasted for more than 2,000 years in Chinese history. However, in order to control people and strengthen the autocratic rule, Qin Shi Huang took many brutal means. The most famous one is “Fen Shu Keng Ru”，that is to burn books and bury Confucian scholars alive.
1.繼承:表示皇族“繼承”王位，一般用ascend;若使用succeed,后面應有to。
2.國事:指國家事務，可譯為state affairs。
3.度量衡:“度”即“計量長短”，“量”即“計量容積”，“衡”即“計量輕重”，翻譯時三者缺一不可，可譯為 measures for length, capacity and weight。
4.焚書坑儒:作為一個事件的描述，可直接用漢語拼音表達，然后用英文注釋， 故可譯為“Fen Shu Keng Ru”，that is, to burn books and bury Confucian scholars alive。
