I. Background Introduction

The Qin Dynasty was the first unified feudal dynasty in Chinese history, whose founder, Qin Shi Huang, unified the six states and ended the long-term wars. However, the rule of the Qin Dynasty was not smooth sailing, and was eventually overturned by the Han army led by Liu Bang in 206 BC. So, what was Wang Jian, the general at that time, doing when the Qin Dynasty fell? This article will explore this question based on historical data.

II. Wang Jian's Life and Contributions

Life: Wang Jian (approximately 320 BC - 230 BC) was a native of Zhao during the Warring States period. He was a famous general and politician of the Qin Dynasty. He had participated in the anti-Qin war of Zhao and performed well, being awarded the title of "Supreme General" by Zhao. Later, he defected to the Qin Dynasty and became an important general.

Contributions: During his time in the Qin Dynasty, Wang Jian was mainly responsible for military affairs. He had led the Qin army to attack neighboring countries such as Han and Wei, achieving a series of victories. In addition, he also participated in the war of Qin Shi Huang to unify the six states, making important contributions to the victory of the Qin Dynasty.

III. Wang Jian's Situation During the Fall of the Qin Dynasty

Time: In 206 BC, the Han army led by Liu Bang captured Xianyang, and the Qin Dynasty fell.

Wang Jian's Role: According to historical records, Wang Jian was already old and infirm at that time and did not participate in the war again. Therefore, he did not directly participate in the process of the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
