Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, was a firm believer in the Theory of the<br />

Five Elements and embraced the theory of the cyclic revolution of the<br />

Five Elements which was very popular during the Warring States<br />

period. According to this theory the five elements, Metal, Wood, Earth,<br />

Water and Fire succeeded each other in an endless cycle, each<br />

associated color and number to legitimize his rule. Ying Zheng chose<br />

Water as his element, Black as his paramount color and six as his<br />

paramount number.<br />
