Daily Life in China

Daily Life in China
   
    The life of the average Chinese person was very unique.  Emperor Qin set up a spy system where everyone tells on each other for breaking a law.  During the day you would be spying on someone or people would be spying on you.  Your life would be nowhere close to be living on the edge.  No one would try to be bad because they would get in trouble with the Emperor.
    Life now is a lot different than life back then.  Now, anyone who can afford land can own land.  It wasn’t like that back then.  According to Emperor Qin, nobles were not able to own land because they were not trustworthy.  Emperor Qin didn’t trust the nobles so they couldn’t own land.
    During the Qin dynasty, houses were set up in a connected way.  It was buildings that were connected with courtyards in the middle.  The courtyards could be used for relaxation or just a place for the children to play.
