The Legend of Qin (Chinese: 秦时明月; pinyin: qín shí míng yuè), aka Qin's Moon is a CG Chinese animated TV series written and directed by Robin Shen (Shen Leping). The story is based on the novel of the same name by Taiwanese writer and entrepreneur Sayling Wen (Wen Shiren). It is China's first 3D wuxia animation, produced by Sparkly Key Animation Studio(Sparkly Key) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The title literally means "The bright moon of Qin Era", quoted from a famous Chinese poem. The poem’s hero Ming (bright) appears as the character Tianming and heroine Yue (moon) appears as the character Yue-er.
This TV series was first broadcast around Chinese New Year in 2007.[1] The complete series covers a 30-year period (including past memories) from the building of the Qin empire, to the end of the capital, Xianyang, which was attacked by Chu rebels. It features a juvenile named Tianming, who has the blood of heroes, grew up to become a hero, and change the course of history with his exploits. It is an inspirational TV series which combines martial arts, fantasy and history, and introduces the audience to the dynamic, magnificent and beautiful ancient Chinese world of two thousand years ago.
The Legend of Qin follows the Qin dynasty from when the Emperor of the Qin, King Zheng conquered the other 6 nations and unified China, to the rise of the king of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, who capture the capital city, Xianyang.
The story revolves around a young protagonist, Jing Tianming who carries the blood of a hero, maturing from a weak and ignorant young boy into a great hero who single-handedly changes history. It chronicles his meeting with his protector, the master swordsman Ge Nie, who has betrayed the Qin Empire in order to protect Tianming. They join with the Mohists in the Machinery City who, after being attacked by the Qin forces, seek the protection and assistance of the Confucianists in Shanghai. The Emperor enlists the aid of the army under General Meng and other groups such as Quicksand, the Yin-Yang School and the Net Trap Organization to defeat the rebel forces. During this period, the Emperor is also constructing a great wall for defence of the empire, and builds a floating city to travel to three Immortal Mountains outside the East Sea of Shanghai city to obtain an elixir of immortality.
