After the warring states had fought among themselves, Qin proved to be the strongest one, defeating the other states, and the king of Qin was subsequently made emperor, marking the beginning of the Qin dynasty.

 WHEN DID THE BOW AND ARROW COME Dr
This was not always the case as the bow and arrow was a recently "invented " weapon, and was in all probability, inherited from the Old World.
Archaeological remains of bows and arrows (mostly small "arrowhead" points) indicate that the bow and arrow came from Siberian immigrants around 3000 BC.
If indeed, the Riverside conical copper points were used as arrow points, as the above analysis implies, then the bow and arrow was in use sometime between 1000 BC and 1 BC in the Midwest, approximately 1000 years earlier than previously thought.
