Detailed explanation-1: -During the Qin dynasty, Confucianism-along with all other non-Legalist philosophies, such as Daoism-were suppressed by the First Emperor; early Han dynasty emperors did the same.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Qin also standardized weights and measures, casting bronze models for measurements and sending them to local governments, who would then impose them on merchants to simplify trade and commerce across the empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -As rulers of the cultural superior realm of China, the Qing emperors adopted the state doctrine of Confucianism as their official religion. The emperor underwent all sacrifices for Heaven (at the Altar of Heaven Tiantan in Beijing), Earth, and his ancestors.
Detailed explanation-4: -During the Qin Dynasty, religion was a major part of life. This made it all the more significant when Shi Huangdi banned religion, which served as a potential counter to his personal power. However, the majority of Chinese people maintained their ancestral beliefs, which were shared across East Asia.
