Qin Shihuang made numerous merits and demerits in his life, pacified the six countries, burned books and buried Confucianism, repaired the Great Wall, built Epang Palace and built the imperial tomb. Some of them not only settled in the world, but also caused countless people to be displaced and their families to break up.
Qin Shihuang not only did many great things, but also experienced legends in his life. Although many of them are unofficial history rumors, but in Historical Records? However, three strange things happened before Qin Shihuang's death, which were recorded in the History of the Emperor, have not yet found a reasonable explanation.
Strange thing 1: Mars stays in Antares.
Historical records? "Qin Shihuang Ji" records:
Spent 36 years in Antares on Mars.
It means that when Qin Shihuang was in power for 36 years, there was an astronomical phenomenon that Mars stayed in Antares.
So what does this "Mars stays in Antares" mean? In ancient astronomy in China, people called Mars "the star", and the "antares" among the 28 stars was called "the heart" for short. When Mars moved to the vicinity of Antares, Saturn, Mars and Antares joined in a line, forming what the ancients called the phenomenon that Mars stayed in Antares.
In ancient times, the astrology that Mars stayed in Antares appeared in the sky, which was an ominous sign. Because of these three stars, the brightest one represents the son of heaven, and the other two represent the son of heaven.
The ancients believed that once this kind of astrology appeared, it would mean that there would be palace fights, ranging from the abolition of the prince to the death of the emperor.
Strange thing 2: meteorite falling
Modern people know that meteorites are attracted by the gravity of the earth, but ancient people think that this is a precursor to natural disasters.
Because of the protection of the atmosphere, most meteorites either burn out in the sky or burn into small pieces, which does not pose a threat to the earth.
But this meteorite that landed in Qin Shihuang's thirty-six years is unusual, and it seems to be directed at Qin Shihuang.
Historical records:
There are meteors in Dongjun, and the ground is stone. Qian shou or carved his stone, saying, "When the first emperor died, he divided the world."
Does this mean that the meteorite landed in Dong Jun and became a stone, carved on it? The country split after the death of the first emperor?
This meteorite has two unique features. One is that it has words on it, and the other is that it landed in Dong Jun.
You know, most of the scholars who died of burning books and burying Confucianism were Dong Junren. To some extent, Qin Shihuang has aroused the dissatisfaction of the people of Dong Jun. Although the investigation of the meteorite incident ended in vain, Qin Shihuang destroyed the meteorite and killed everyone nearby.
