（乙卯）　始皇政（莊襄子昭。四十八年正月旦日。生于鄲邯。其年十三。莊襄崩。代立為秦王。自號始皇。欲至萬世。獨稱曰朕。改年朝賀。皆自二月朔。衣服旌旗皆尚黑。置守尉監築長城。名民曰黔首。用呂不韋趙高李斯為相。蒙恬白起王翦為將。併吞六國平一天下。分三十六郡。自後驕縱周遊天下。因之會稽瑯琊還至沙丘。忽患病。七月丙申崩于平臺矣）治三十七年（壽五十）。

> (Yimao) The First Emperor, Zheng (son of Zhuangxiang. He was born in Handan on the morning of New Year's Day in the forty-eighth year of Zhao. In that year he was thirteen. Zhuangxiang passed away, and he took his place as King of Qin. He gave himself the title First Emperor, intending it to last for ten thousand generations, and referred to himself uniquely as "Zhen". He changed the new year and court audiences to begin from the first day of the tenth month. Clothing and banners all favored black. He established commandery governors, military commanders, and imperial inspectors, and built the Great Wall. He named the common people the "Black Heads". He employed Lü Buwei, Zhao Gao, and Li Si as chancellors, and Meng Tian, Bai Qi, and Wang Jian as generals. He annexed the six states, unified all under heaven, and divided it into thirty-six commanderies. Thereafter, being arrogant and unrestrained, he toured all under heaven, proceeding through Guji and Langya, and returning as far as Shaqiu, where he suddenly fell ill. On the bingshen day of the seventh month, he passed away at Pingtai). He ruled for thirty-seven years (and lived to the age of fifty).
