There are enlarged and restructured an old house Qin Xin Hotel. He erected a fortress, to which he gave the title of Weiyang. He built a stately arms factory. The following year, while Gazou just died, and his son Huizi ascends the throne, building ramparts Y is started. And eight separated by two arteries gutters are built. Meanwhile, Huizi continues to push the boundaries of the Empire, and set back, on one side, up the Japanese archipelago, and on the other, until the Greco-Roman world, the Siberian steppes, and the river valleys of the South-East. In addition, he chairs the Company refines, techniques that are employed in the agricultural fields there, Artisanal and Industrial, are changing. And, through nomadic herders who live in the vicinity of West Street and East of the Empire, he managed to extend the influence of the latter to Mongolia to Korea, and to Vietnam. Around 190 BC, several Imperial scribes began to look very old manuscripts they have just found hidden funds for the Imperial Library Changan. Thus they discovered that they are fragments of an ancient culture. By examining them carefully, they come to understand that they are part of a vast corpus of 4320 Volumes. They realize that it seems to have been developed in ancient times, and that may be contained throughout the World Know. They realize that partly evokes many speaking of Legends this happened when mankind rebelled against the gods, and in fact, when the universe was plunged into chaos. And they eventually decipher: At the end of that Kish , running Planets found impaired. Heaven fell lower to the north. The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars changed their trajectory. Earth broke into pieces, and the waters gushed from her depths with violence, then devastated everything in their path. Ten Kis had already occurred between the beginning of Time and Period of Confucius. At the end of each Kis in a General Convulsion of Nature, thus changing the planets orbit, the trajectories of the Sun, Moon, and Stars were altered. Sea overflowed its banks, Mountains arose suddenly, Rivers appeared or disappeared. Human beings and all things were destroyed, and traces of what had been, were erased. . Intrigued by these revelations, while the scribes decided to copy some of these stories. They begin to transcribe a number of strips of bamboo covered with silk. They also called recent Books Silk. With the help of forty wildcards, they meticulously reproduce their texts. They then break them down into three books, twenty chapters, and 12,000 words each. A little later, they separate the first of them - or, written for Bamboo Annals - in two parts: Zhu shu ji nian and Zhao Gusce. And they tell the history of China from the reign of Huangdi Mythic - or Heavenly Emperor or Yellow Emperor - around 2700 before our era, until the death of Xhiang king of Wei, to 319 BC In their second Work - sometimes called Zhou shu or Tao Te Ching; which means: Canons of the Way and Virtue - they note seventy stories belonging to a Collection of Historical Documents attached to the Zhou Dynasty. In their third Treaty - the Mu tian zi zhuan or Roman King Mu - they reveal the route taken by the Sovereign in Opposed situated west of his country between 1083 and 983 BC Besides these three Pamphlets, scribes compose a completely different book. Inside it, they spread hundreds of paragraphs from the Treaty of Astrology Xing Jing, the Manual of Stars, the Ma Jing Xia - or, Study on the Heavenly Horses. They break down into 27 chapters, 11 000 words each. They adjoin him Geographic Atlas and a map of China covering the regions of Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong. They accompany two Treaties Military: The Sun Zi Bing Fat - or Art of War by Sun Master - and the Sun Bin Bing Fa - or Art of War by Sun Bin . And they point out that the first of these Treaties Military was written by Sun Philosopher between the 6th and 5th centuries BC, and the second is the work of Sun Bin; the famous strategist who lived between 380 and 320 before our era. Finally, once their work is complete, the Scribes take their works in their own Secret Library. They hide in a wooden sarcophagus. They deposit the body of one of their patriarchs who had just died. They cover all of 1100 bamboo strips. On the visible part of the slats, they wrote several texts telling the story of the Warring States. They also describe the Administrative and Political Reforms, Science, and the Arts Divinatoires that the United Qin established before the advent of the Empire. They detail the reasons why the United Qin gradually been considered the most powerful of the Seven Warring States. And finally they bury deep in their heart the Library sarcophagus decorated with epigrams.

Some time later, he learns that he has decorated with stylized clouds floating, geometric patterns, animal, and plant.

In 140 BC, with the coming to power of Emperor Wudi, sumptuous buildings multiply Changan. Indeed, there is building new neighborhoods. He ordered the construction of the Imperial Palace. He decided to install large markets north of the city. And outside the walls of the metropolis, he asks what is dug a Necropolis, he immediately named Jianzhang. Meanwhile, in 134 before our era, his personal Astronomer undertook to calculate an accurate as possible Seasonal Calendar. The writing on bamboo slats, he includes a chronology of events related to the first year of the Age Guang Yuan. And there highlights a number of facts related to the Han Dynasty; before the name Han Guang Yuan Yuan Li Niam Bu. 110 before our era, Wudi means Dunhuang - on the Western frontier of the Empire - as a new Prefecture of Gansu Province.
