Highly Developed Life
Emperor Qin wasn't much for fabulousness, despite the site's title, but he was favorable for intimidation. That's why he didn't really do much for art, but he did make a standardized form of writing and also made tall, scary towers (see the tab art). Qin was more interested in technology and defenses (check out those tabs too!). He made walls, he was the first to start the Great Wall, by the way, and made many technological advances like weights and scales.
