A written script

In 221 BCE, I-Qin shi huang became the First Emperor of China.A storyteller told me an interesting tale about Nuwa, the Great Mother Goddess.Then an idea appeared in my mind. I was determined to find the lost stone. So it would help me build a strong empire. And so, a road was built. After a long search, finally the stone was found on the mountain! I held a sacred ceremony to worship it.Soon after, my empire did become stronger and more peaceful! Over a thousand years later, a writer of popular Chinese operas loved the story about my trip to find the sacred stone. It inspired him. He wrote the phrase “instant victory upon arrival on a horse.” He used it in one of his earliest operas.Later, people continued to use the phrase to refer to an instant victory or quick success.
