About “Ten Crimes of Qin”
The Han poet and statesman Jia Yi wrote an essay titled The Faults of Qin, which became a standard Confucian analysis of why the Qin dynasty fell. His work, praised for its rhetorical skill, was included in two major Han historical records and shaped Chinese political thought. Jia Yi argued that the Qin's downfall was due to its ruler's harsh pursuit of power, a quality that had also contributed to the dynasty's rise. According to Confucian teachings, a government's strength depends on the people's support and the ruler's moral behavior. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
