1970, farmers living in Lishan, Xi City, Shaanxi Province accidentally found some fragments of pottery figurines and many weapons made of bronze while digging wells. So the farmer quickly reported to the local * * *. At that time, Mr. Zhao, who was in charge of cultural relics in Lintong County Cultural Center, immediately rushed to the scene where pottery figurines and bronze weapons were found in agricultural land.
When Mr. Zhao arrived at the scene, he found the importance of the matter and immediately informed the local government. That's it. The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, which has been buried under the ground for more than two thousand years, finally appeared in front of the world.

People have asked about the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. It was not until 1979 that the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was completely opened to people all over the world and the Qin Shihuang Museum was established.
The discovery of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was accidental, but the peasants who discovered the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor had no selfishness. They report directly to * * * and actively protect the historical sites of our country, making a very significant contribution to the country.

The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is the organ of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, and it is the "eighth largest heritage in the world", which has attracted wide attention from all sides of the world. When studying the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, archaeologists found that the whole mausoleum not only has a strange structure, but also has many internal organs to prevent grave robbers from entering. What organs are there in the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang? What are the functions of these organs?
Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor
In the Qin Dynasty, organ art was widely used. It is not only used in daily production and labor, but also plays an important role in the military. After Qin Shihuang established his mausoleum, he was afraid that grave robbers would destroy it in order to steal the treasures from it, so he recruited many celebrities to set up institutional obstacles for his mausoleum.
A common organ in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is the crossbow, which first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. This mechanism is not only simple to set up, but also has a long range and great lethality. The crossbow in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is installed at the entrance of the passage. Once the grave robbers enter the tomb, the mechanism of connecting crossbows will be activated. Interlocking valve is also a very distinctive organ in the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. It is located in the pyramid-shaped mound with a sharp knife under its petal. If a grave robber enters the tomb and steps on the board, one end of the board will turn upside down and the person on the board will fall on the sharp knife under the board.
In addition to these two organs, there are other more exquisite organs in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. Although the structure and principle of each organ are different, it can kill grave robbers. From these wares, we can see not only the extensive use of wares in Qin dynasty and the mastery of wares by Qin people, but also the importance Qin Shihuang attached to his mausoleum.
Was the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang stolen? Speaking of mausoleums, I believe that the first thing you can think of is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.

For the famous Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, not only some small people will covet it, but even big people like Chu Bawang Xiang can't help but be tempted. Among all the records about the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, the earliest is Sima Qian's Historical Records, which also describes the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. In addition, the book Historical Records also records the story of the theft of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, and Xiang Yu's excavation of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is also recorded in Historical Records.
As a bully, why did Xiang Yu steal the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor? First of all, Liu Bang exaggerated the cause of Xiang Yu's poaching of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Dynasty in order to give Xiang Yu the hat of deceiving the world and stealing fame. In addition, Qin Shihuang and Xiang Yu had the enmity of destroying the country, but Qin Shihuang was too powerful before his death. Therefore, after Qin Shihuang's death, excavating his mausoleum is the best way to get back at Qin Shihuang.
For the famous imperial mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, there are countless grave robbers drooling over fame and wealth. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Schleswig-Holstein, Huang Chao and others repeatedly entered the tombs of emperors and princes to steal, and naturally they would not let go of the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Today, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor has been well protected by * *, and basically there is no need to worry about being stolen by criminals.
Qin Shihuang is the first emperor in the history of our country. After his death, he was buried on Mount Li in the suburb of Xi, Shaanxi Province today. A large-scale mausoleum was built here, and the area of the whole mausoleum is equivalent to 78 times that of the Forbidden City today, which shows how big this mausoleum is.

The whole mausoleum has been destroyed now, and the only thing that has not been destroyed is the underground palace, which is now covered by a huge mound. The function of the mound is to protect the underground palace. From a practical point of view, this is very necessary, because the whole mound has been eroded from 100 meters to 76 meters now.
According to historical records, there are underground high-rise buildings in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, which is a huge project, and it is also recorded in historical books. In order to verify this statement and better understand the features of Qin Shihuang's underground palace, the state began to systematically excavate Qin Shihuang's mausoleum.
The test shows that the whole underground palace is inverted bucket with nine layers of rammed earth, which is a common building method in Qin Dynasty. Such a huge space provides convenience for the construction of high-rise buildings, which is said to be architectural possibility.
At the same time, archaeologists drilled the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and found tile powder in the underground palace, which further confirmed this statement. Another archaeologist found ceramic tiles while inspecting the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. These tiles are probably the tiles of the underground high-rise building.
All kinds of signs appear in the underground of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, probably in high-rise buildings. If there are high-rise buildings, it will be a great surprise for us, because it is very rare to build such buildings in the underground palace.
Who designed the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang? Qin Shihuang was the first emperor in Chinese history. Before his death, he realized the unification of the six countries, implemented the county system, shared the same track with the car and the same writing, which made the whole country unified. The emperor brought us many changes before his death and left us many mysteries after his death. These mysteries are all in the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

There are still many unsolved mysteries about this mausoleum, and modern archaeologists are carrying out planned excavation. Who presided over the design of such a large mausoleum? According to the current historical data, the chief engineer of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum was Li Si, the prime minister at that time.
According to the current historical records, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was built in the second year of Ying Zheng's accession to the throne, which lasted for 39 years until it was completed. According to historical records, Prime Minister Lisi was the designer of this mausoleum, and the supervisor at that time was the famous General Zhang Han.
The manpower used in a mausoleum of this size is quite amazing. According to records, the mausoleum was built by 720,000 people, with the largest number reaching nearly 800,000 at a time, which is the highest in the world, because the number of such people is already eight times that of pyramid of khufu.
A solid palace wall is designed here, and it is very solid and luxurious; A waterproof dam is also designed, which also has drainage function, in order to remove water from the mausoleum. There are also the most important and well-known mercury defense measures, which can not only create the environment but also keep the bodies inconsistent. Moreover, mercury is a highly toxic substance, and people will die if inhaled too much.
These designs amazed us. While marveling at this mausoleum, we should also remember its designer, the famous prime minister Reese.
