Origin and Story of 举措失当

After Qin Shi Huang unified the six states in 221 BC, he established a centralized imperial system. He often traveled across the country, performing rituals at famous mountains and rivers, and had his pronouncements inscribed on stone tablets to bolster his authority.

While he boasted that 'every move and measure was perfectly executed, beyond reproach,' the common people were enduring immense suffering. This stark contrast highlighted how his grand gestures and self-aggrandizing actions were, in reality, ill-advised and deeply inappropriate for the well-being of his subjects.
