"Historical Records of the First Qin Emperor" records: "In thirty-six years, Mars was stationed in Antares. Dong Jun has a meteor and the ground is a stone. When the first emperor died, the land was divided. " In the thirty-sixth year of Qin Shihuang, a meteorite fell from the sky in Dong Jun and turned into a big stone. Some locals carved the words "the first emperor died and the land was divided" on that stone.
When Qin Shihuang heard that there was a meteorite falling, he sent someone to check it. But when he found the handwriting on the stone, he sent someone to suggest going door to door, and no one admitted it after asking around. Qin Shihuang ordered everyone living around the stone to be arrested and killed, and the meteorite was destroyed.
The ancients believed that the falling of a meteorite was a symbol of bad luck, which meant that war would break out, or that the ruling class was morally corrupt, or that those in power would be in great trouble and needed to be treated with caution. During the Qin Shihuang period, Mars stayed in Antares, which was not only unlucky in the sky, but also cursed by everyone. Ying Zheng, the first Qin Emperor, killed all the people related to this meteorite with his usual cold-blooded treatment.
