Tang Shan 
Who Killed Emperor Qin Shi Huang 
Disease, Elixir, and Turmoil

In ancient Chinese society with underdeveloped medical conditions, even those who were wealthy as a country or supreme emperors could not escape the troubles of illness. Since Emperor Qin Shi Huang began seeking immortality and medicinal herbs, those key figures who could influence history with their own power have begun to fight diseases. This book explores the connection between diseases, medicinal herbs, and historical turmoil from a medical perspective, as well as the chain reaction triggered by the choices made by diseases and key figures in the face of illnesses. Everyone will get sick, and illness is deeply embedded in history, but we often look at problems from a contemporary medical perspective and ignore the role of illness in the historical process. The author attempts to dig out the neglected details in historical records, providing readers with a new perspective to understand history.
