“Qin, beginning with an insignificant amount of territory, reached the power of a great state and for a hundred years made all the other great lords pay homage to it. Yet a single commoner opposed it and its ancestral temples toppled, its ruler died by the hands of men, and it became the laughingstock [joke] of the world. Why?
