The Shang Dynasty Reform was a political system that served the war, and was initially adapted to the Qin State during the Warring States Period. However, after the First Emperor unified the Qin Dynasty, this system became a stumbling block to social progress. If the First Emperor had the courage to change the law again, perhaps the course of history would have been different. As stated in "The Great Qin Empire", the Qin people respected the Qin law rather than the Shang monarch. However, the fall of the Qin state was not due to a single reason, and the incompatibility of its superstructure with the economic base of the lower class was one of them.
In the six Kwantung states, the coercive repression of the Qin law was difficult to last. The Qin law is harsh, but Chen Sheng was not questioned and beheaded according to the Qin law, which shows its unsustainability. Chen Sheng, as a prince and general, did not win the support of the people in the early days of the uprising. Since then, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms have revolted, and the people's hearts have turned to the voice of the "nobles of the Six Kingdoms". The implementation of the county system of the Qin State hurt the interests of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms and triggered an uprising of the Chu State Restoration Group. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the royal power was weakened through the parallel system of counties and states, and the county system was finally established.
In the early days of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, the power of the rebel army was significant, which had an important impact on the fall of the Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang sent 20 families to Qin Shi Huang to guard the tomb, and as many as 30 families to Chen Sheng to guard the tomb. This shows that the rebel army led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang was strong and widespread, and contributed to the fall of the Qin Dynasty. A rebellion supported by the popular masses was far from unusual in power and influence, especially in the early Han Dynasty.
The Qin army consisted of the Qin people and the people of the other six countries. Qin's tiger and wolf army was annihilated by only 200,000 troops, and some of the remaining Great Wall troops defected to Liu Bang and became the main force during the Chu-Han War. Subsequently, Liu Bang set the three Qins, and Xiao He sat in Guanzhong and recruited the people of Guanzhong and Bashu, these old Qin people had a deep grudge against Chu, and the restoration of the Qin system made them willing to join the Han army. Liu Bang succeeded in transforming this army into a Han army, and completely wiped out the Chu army led by Xiang Yu under his command, and finally reunified China.
The first emperor unified too quickly, and the fundamental reason for the fall of the Qin Dynasty was the disharmony of internal interest groups. Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms was essentially a process of an interest group annexing other groups, and the emperor was only a leader. Internal contradictions were temporarily suppressed after unification, but after the death of the First Emperor, the redistribution of benefits led to civil strife. The uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and the rebellion of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were all manifestations of internal and external difficulties. After the coalition forces destroyed Qin, they began to divide again.
The Qin Dynasty's centralized system changed the thousand-year-old feudal system. Although it caused many people to be uncomfortable, during the reign of the First Emperor, no one dared to openly rebel. After the death of the First Emperor, internal contradictions erupted, and a series of turmoil occurred in order to compete for more interests. In the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and his children and grandchildren used clever means to divide the meritorious heroes and support the clan confrontation, and finally cut down the feudal domain, so that the Han Dynasty could continue to exist.
Summary: The collapse of the Qin Dynasty triggered by the Shang Dynasty Reform was the result of the incompatibility between the political system and the superstructure of the Qin Dynasty during the Warring States Period. The first emperor's unification was too fast and failed to maintain the order after unification, which eventually led to the intensification of internal and external contradictions and the demise of the Qin Dynasty. However, the Han Dynasty successfully resolved a series of contradictions and achieved long-term peace and stability through the feudal system and ingenious means.
