I want to enter a map of the dynasties at this point.

Understanding there are Chinese dynasties existing in different parts of China is to understand who exactly they were waring with from time to time. The technologies of Bronze and soon Iron would bring about profoundly devastating wars.

The Qin Dynasty (click here) established the first empire in China, starting with efforts in 230 B.C., during which the Qin leaders engulfed six Zhou Dynasty states. The empire existed only briefly from 221 to 206 B.C., but the Qin Dynasty had a lasting cultural impact on the dynasties that followed....

Cultural advances would be appreciated and mimicked as the societies of China would move through history.

Obviously, from this map it is clear to understand that the Qin Dynasty has absolutely nothing to do with Taiwan. It was a western dynasty within the regions of China.

Qin itself had been considered a backwards, (click here) barbarian state by the ruling Zhou Dynasty. This distinction had to do with its slow pace in embracing Chinese culture, for instance, lagging behind the Zhou in doing away with human sacrifice.

The ruling class of Qin nonetheless believed themselves to be legitimate heirs to the Zhou states, and through the centuries they strengthened their diplomatic and political standing through a variety of means, including marriage....

...Shang Yang was a vigorous reformer, systematically reworking the social order of Qin society, eventually creating a massive, complicated bureaucratic state and advocating for the unification of Chinese states....

...Following Duke Xiao’s death, Shang Yang was charged with treason by the old aristocrats in the state. He attempted to fight and create his own territory but was defeated and executed in 338 B.C. with five chariots pulling him apart for spectators in a market. But Shang Yang’s ideas had already laid the foundation for the Qin Empire.

The Qin Dynasty only lasted from 221 B.C. to 207 B.C. This is not a time of great sophistication so much as survival. There was no centralized government really, except for what warlords could accumulate to make their lives easier with taxes of agricultural products. Capturing feudal rewards as Lords and Kings, be it a Chinese Dynasty or a Roman Empire meant the "soldier class" didn't do the farming but would take a piece of the harvesting.
