Control
The Qin dynasty adopted Legalism. Political opponents of the regime (the
government in power) were imprisoned or executed.
Books that opposed the official views were burned.

Government
The Qin made the central government stronger.
The government was divided into three ministries: The Civil, the Military, and the censorate
(Inspector). Members of the censorate checked on
government officials to make sure they were doing their jobs.
Future Chinese dynasties adopted this practice and kept this structure.

Han Warfare (FYI)
“The bandits were numerous, and Yang's forces very weak, so his men were filled with alarm and despondency.
But he organized several dozen horse-drawn vehicles carrying bellows to blow powdered lime strongly forth, he caused rags of fire to be tied to the tails of a number of horses, and he prepared other vehicles full of bowmen and crossbowmen.
The lime chariots went forward first, and as the bellows were plied the smoke was blown forwards according to the wind, then the rags were kindled and the frightened horses rushed forwards throwing the enemy lines into confusion…….
after which the bowmen and crossbowmen opened fire,
the drums and gongs were sounded,
and the terrified enemy was utterly destroyed and dispersed.

Consider impact…
The Qin and Han dynasties were BOTH known for their cultural achievements.
BUT Shihuangdi only educated officials, while the Han educated all on Confucianist ideology
Key Confucian works were printed in a set. Generations of Chinese schoolchildren
learned the norms of proper behavior from these texts.
