Could we get a Romanization of #5? Some of us are modestly familiar with Chinese history while simultaneously baffled by a written language that appears to consist mainly of several thousand subtly different drawings of sheds.

Turns out you can actually just google chinese characters. (I don't mean this to be dismissive, just noting a thing you can do in the future that I wasn't even sure would work 30 seconds ago)
When I google "秦始皇" I get:
Qin Shi Huang, previously Zheng, King of Qin, personal name Yíng Zhèng or Zhào Zhèng, was the founder of the Qin dynasty and the first emperor of a unified China. He became China's first emperor when he was 38 after the Qin had conquered all of the other Warring States and unified all of China in 221 BC.
