On 2027-01-01, remember the birth of Qin Shi Huang (b. 259 BC), the creator of Great Wall of China.

Qin Shi Huang was the founder of the Qin dynasty and the first emperor of China. He invented the title huángdì rather than reuse the existing title for "king" ; the new title was used by monarchs in China and other countries for the next two millennia.
