Title:
Qin Shi Huang, First Emperor of China
Caption:
Entitled: "Quantecong" taken from "Atlas Chinensis: being a relation of remarkable passages in two embassies from the East-India Company of the United Provinces to the Vice-Roy Singlamong, General Taising Lipovi, and Konchi, Emperor. Collected out of their several writings and journals, by Arnoldus Montanus and published by Thomas Johnson, 1671." A Chinese Idol called Quantecong, is said to represent the founder of the Chinese empire, Qin Shi Huang (260-210 BC), the King of the star of Qin who conquered all other Warring States and united China in 221 BC. His public works projects included the unification of diverse state walls into a single Great Wall of China and a massive new national road system, as well as the city-sized mausoleum guarded by the life-sized Terracotta Army.
