Xi is HARSH on corruption. Like you can get the death penalty for embezzlement etc
But he's also tightening free speech
Chin Dynasty best dynasty
Qing? They're dicks
The last time someone was as harsh on corruption, China had a bunch of Britbongs selling them drugs.
*Qin Dynasy.
Han is pretty good, too.
Yongzheng Emperor was an asshole
And then there's the Yongle Emperor.
I'm sweating bullets here
The First Chin Emperor had every one of his guardsman and horses immortalized in clay
Qin
Qin.
Pronounced like chin though
Qing is pronounced like cheen
And as I understand, he had a map made out of liquid Mercury as well
He also drank mercury
That's what killed him
They had some of their collection here in Richmond back during Early Spring.
Nope, Mercury.
He died of Mercury poisoning.
That's what I get fro watching (((NatGeo)))
Literally, the last thing he did as Emperor was shoot arrows at the water, trying to kill "giant fish" and then died.
Lol
And I wish I was joking when I say that.
Mercury fucks up your mind
They actually did that as a legit method of fishing
And then there's the Diva Mummy.

They thought mercury would make you immortal
Yes, the Chinese figured out how to preserve bodies without using drying methods.
I guess you're immortal if you're in an encyclopedia, so they weren't wrong
Basically, Xin Zhui was preserved like how you preserve sardines.
Or how you preserve specimens for medical testing.
Like, she is extremely well-preserved when compared to any other mummified individuals from around 100 B.C.E.
Apparently, she was a couch potato, overweight, and died from heart disease.
