Qin Shihuang Mausoleum in Historical Records
According to original records, at the beginning of his reign, the emperor passed through Mount Li and ruled the world. More than 700,000 people were sent from all over the country, and they went down to bronze through the three springs, leading to the palace, and all the officials in the palace moved to Tibet. Let the craftsman make a machine, and shoot if there is something to wear. Take mercury as a hundred rivers and seas, instill machines, there is astronomy on the top and geography on the bottom. Take mermaid cream as a candle, and it will last for a long time. The second emperor said, "The late emperor has no children in his harem, so it is not appropriate to go out. All of them were ordered to die, and many people died. Now the burial is over, or a craftsman is a machine, knowing and emphasizing it. Once the great event is over, those who are hidden, those who are closed to the outside world, and those who are hidden by craftsmen have no possibility of making a comeback. Trees and vegetation are like mountains.

This passage highly condenses the scale of the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, and every word is an unprecedented atmospheric layout. I'm afraid only a mighty emperor like Qin Shihuang can control this design.
Briefly explain the original text, saying that from the moment Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, he began to build his own mausoleum until he annexed the world. 700,000 people were dispatched from all over the country to carry out this major project through Lishan Mountain. I won't say anything about the treasures and powerful crossbows inside, just the routine configuration. That's awesome. First of all, he made rivers and seas with mercury, and the astronomical geography was completely restored according to the layout of the world. Then use the mermaid oil caught in the South China Sea as a candle, which will not go out for a long time. Then, his dutiful son Qin Ershi Hu Hai said, "Those maids and concubines who have no sons in my father's harem should not leave the palace." Therefore, they were all martyred. I think Qin Shihuang took all the daughters of the harem away when he annexed the six countries. I'm afraid countless beautiful women have been martyred. After Qin Shihuang was buried, he was worried that spiritual craftsmen might know the internal organs and might leak them out, so he closed the central gate of the underground palace and buried all the craftsmen alive. 700,000 people built the imperial tomb all their lives, and it turned out like this. Finally, a tree was planted outside the mausoleum to make it look like an ordinary mountain.
There are no terracotta warriors in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum?
The specific time when Sima Qian wrote Historical Records is unknown. Considering that Sima Qian himself was in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was less than a hundred years since the death of Qin Shihuang. Judging from these detailed records in Historical Records, the secret that Qin Ershi wanted to kill all craftsmen to hide the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor has already spread.
In that case, why is there no "Terracotta Warriors" in the whole record?
Everyone who has seen the Terracotta Warriors knows that it is the whole army! It is said that every clay figurine is colored when it is first excavated. How can there be no historical records of such a large-scale funerary object?

The Terracotta Warriors were not buried with Qin Shihuang at all?
I just read a book and asked some questions. I didn't expect anyone to really study it. There is a saying that is getting more and more support at present. Let's share it with you here. Terracotta Warriors and Horses are not the funerary objects of Qin Shihuang at all, but his great-grandmother Qin Xu Antai, that is, Mi Yue in the TV series The Legend of Mi Yue, which was popular some time ago.
Don't spray yet. This time, I was convinced by the expert's statement. There are two reasons:
First, Mrs. Qin took charge of the state affairs of Qin at the beginning, which had a great influence in Qin. On his deathbed, he ordered his close ministers to be martyred for her. At that time, her son, King Zhao of Qin, was not like Hu Hai, the son of Qin Shihuang. He was kind and tolerant and didn't agree to his mother's dying request. But as a son, he knew that his mother wanted to go back to her hometown in Chu all her life. In exchange for human sacrifice, Qin Zhao ordered craftsmen to make a whole farewell army with pottery figurines, including a team of trench, and bury it next to his mother's tomb as a symbol of sending her back to Chu.
Second, when the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were first unearthed, they were all colorful, and the colors of soldiers' costumes in Qin State should not be like this. Ancient people believed in Jin Mu's Five Elements Theory. According to historical records, when Qin Shihuang proclaimed himself emperor, he thought that Zhou was a fire virtue and Qin destroyed Zhou, so water should be used to put out the fire, so Qin was a water virtue, and water dominated Yin, which killed him, so it was black. So he ordered that the national costume should be mainly black from now on, and inferred that the soldiers' clothing of Qin State should also be black. However, the terracotta warriors and horses wear colorful clothes. They are not soldiers of the State of Qin at all, but rather soldiers of the State of Chu who saw Mi Yue off.

Nothing is absolute. Although people have said that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were buried with the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor for so many years, there is no mention of this in the history books. Maybe it's really a farewell party with a brain hole.
