The word "China" is derived from the Persian word Chin (چین), which is from the Sanskrit word Cīna (चीन). It is first recorded in 1516 in the journal of the Portuguese explorer Duarte Barbosa.
It took 12 years for Emperor Qin's slaves to build the Great Wall of China. His alaves also made the Taracotta Soliders.
The construction of the Xi'an tomb, specifically the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, was funded by the Qin dynasty, under the rule of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. The massive project was financed through heavy taxation and forced labor from the local population, who were conscripted to build the elaborate burial complex. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of workers were involved in its construction over a period of 38 years.

A lot of people think that Qin Xi Huangdi ( or Qin Shi Huangdi) was the one who build the entire wall. Not true! Actually walls were built before that. Apparently the first wall ever build in China was the wall of Qi (not Qin!), build in 400 bc. Although it didn't look the same way like we know the wall from tv or pictures. It was more like a mass of dirt. But Qin Xi Huangdi ordered to connect all of those walls together to create one long wall.
