The vast land expanses of China include plateaus, plains, basins, foothills, and mountains. Defining rugged plateaus, foothills and mountains as mountainous, they occupy nearly two-thirds of the land, higher in the West and lower in the East like a three-step ladder.
The geography of Ancient China shaped the way the civilization and culture developed. The large land was isolated from much of the rest of the world by dry deserts to the north and west, the Pacific Ocean to the east, and impassable mountains to the south. This enabled the Chinese to develop independently from other world civilizations.
The Qin state derived its name from its heartland of Qin, in modern-day Gansu and Shaanxi. The Qin Dynasty was located around both of China’s major rivers- the Huang He and Chang Jiang.
The dynasty went almost as far as the Gobi Desert. Eventually it went as far south as the Xi River.
The climate in Qin is warmer and more humid. It is said that there are records about seasonal winds. It is also said that officials of that period, controlled both weather and power.
To protect the Qin dynasty from invasions from Northern tribes and enemies, the Great Wall of China was built.
