Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, thinking that he had made great achievements over the three emperors and five emperors, calling himself the first emperor and establishing a huge centralization. When he was alive, the dignitaries bowed to their knees, and after his death, he was also the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Therefore, the construction of the mausoleum is as grand and magnificent as when he was born in Xianyang capital!
How did Qin Shihuang build his own cemetery and the layout of his mausoleum? Let's talk about it together and find out!
The mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and its magnificent terracotta warriors and horses are located at the northern foot of Mount Li in Lintong District, Xi City, Shaanxi Province. The existing tomb is more than 70 meters high, and the architectural layout is similar to that of Xianyang, the capital.
It is divided into an inner layer and an outer layer. The circumference of the inner layer is about 2.5 kilometers and the circumference of the outer layer is about 6.3 kilometers. Terracotta Warriors and Horses, located in the east of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, are the largest burial pits found so far. Four pits have been excavated, covering an area of about 25,000 square meters.
Let's see how it is designed! According to historical records, the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was dug under the spring water and then reinforced with bronze juice. In the tomb, there is a pavilion and a worship sequence of hundreds of officials, and the tomb is full of treasures. In order to prevent theft, there is no mechanism in the tomb, such as shooting an arrow in the back as soon as it melts. The top of the tomb soil is covered with precious stones and pearls, symbolizing celestial bodies and stars, and the base is Wuyue rivers and mountains, which are mechanically filled with mercury, symbolizing the geographical form of Wan Li rivers and mountains. There are golden pheasants floating in the air, and whales are used as ever-burning lamps in the tombs. The tomb is full of terracotta warriors and horses. All this shows that Qin Shihuang is supreme and authoritative!
What about the burial of Qin Shihuang? Qin Shihuang died in 2 10 BC. Two months later, Qin Shihuang was buried and moved into the underground palace. When people were buried, the late Hu Hai ordered that all the ladies-in-waiting should be martyred, and all the workers who built Ji Ling should be martyred!
After the completion of the Qin Mausoleum, it covers an area of about 56 square meters, and the former mausoleum was as high as 100 meter. It is a miracle in the history of China's tomb-building, showing the super wisdom and ingenious art of the ancient Han people in China, and it is an unparalleled spiritual and material wealth in China and even the world!
It can be seen that the construction of the Tailing Mausoleum, with its exquisite design, powerful technology, huge manpower and material resources, long time and unparalleled grandeur, is really unprecedented, and it has to be said that it is a miracle and spectacle of China and even the world!
The first emperor Qin Shihuang began to build a mausoleum for himself at the age of 13, and it was not completed until his death. It lasted for 39 years. The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is the first large-scale and beautifully designed imperial mausoleum in the history of China, and it is a huge project that shocked ancient and modern times and shocked China and foreign countries.
Qin Shihuang arranged for Zhao Kang, a professional veteran, to choose the location of the mausoleum, and Zhao Kang traveled all over Qian Shan to find the location of Long Mai, which was located at the foot of Mount Li in the north and on the alluvial fan (delta) formed by the river. The specific location is at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, 5 kilometers east of Lintong District, Xi, Shaanxi Province. In the embrace of Mount Li, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is integrated with Mount Li.
At that time, Zhao Kang mobilized manpower to dig five flowing waters and built five peaks, which were called Golden Dragon with Five Claws. Qin Shihuang's mausoleum became Long Mai, which is said to unify the six countries in the Vietnam War. Before he died, Qin Shihuang vowed that even if he died, his dragon soul would bless the Chinese nation and never fail.
Since ancient times, Mount Li has beautiful scenery and lush trees, and Qin Shihuang was influenced by the traditional concept of "building tombs by mountains", so he chose the "high mountains and mountains" with Mount Li in the south and Weihe River in the north as his resting place.
The mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is a mountain. According to Qin Shihuang, the bigger the tomb, the higher it is, which indicates the prosperity of the family and the lasting prosperity of the country. According to historical records, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was rammed with sealed soil, with a square bottom and an area of 250,000 square meters. The mound is up to 50 battles (about 1 15 meters high). However, after more than 2000 years of wind and rain baptism, floods, earthquakes and man-made destruction, the existing height is about 87 meters, and the area of sealing soil bottom is about 65438+.
According to records, 700,000 people are employed to build the tomb of Mount Li every year, and a large number of people die every year. The nearby workers' tombs are piled up year after year, and the layout of the underground palace is like Xianyang in Qindou, which is divided into two cities, the inner and outer, symbolizing the imperial city and Miyagi in the capital. Qin Shihuang's coffin is made of copper, and a candle made of mermaid cream is lit next to it, which will never go out. Mercury acts as a hundred rivers and seas, and the ministers of civil and military affairs perform their duties. Above the underground palace, there are all kinds of palaces, and many exotic treasures are displayed in the Qin tombs. Hiding weapons, various organs, and stabbing in the back at any time.
1974 In March, farmers in xiyang village, Lintong District, Shaanxi Province discovered the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum while digging a well. After the excavation of professional archaeological team, we were lucky enough to witness this miracle on earth.
There are a large number of burial pits and tombs around the Qin Mausoleum, and more than 4,000 have been proved. For example, the discovery of terracotta warriors and horses, chariots and horses pits, etc. Shook the world. Bronze chariots and horses are one of Qin Shihuang's funerary objects, symbolizing a part of Qin Shihuang's driving. There is no doubt about the shape, structure and real car.
1962, after high-tech exploration, the relevant personnel drew the first plan of the cemetery. Qin Shihuang's underground palace is just below this huge mound mountain. The underground palace is 35 meters deep from the ground, with a length of 170 meters from east to west and a width of 145 meters from north to south. The main body and tomb are rectangular. The tomb is located in the center of the underground palace, with a height of15m, which is equivalent to the size of a standard football field. The cemetery covers an area of 56.25 square kilometers, equivalent to nearly 78 Forbidden City. The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is mainly composed of four parts: the main mausoleum, the inner and outer city walls, the ancillary buildings on the ground, the hidden pit and the buried tomb.
After exploration, professional researchers have made an amazing discovery. Under the sealed mound, there is a thick circle of fine rammed earth palace walls around the tomb. According to textual research, the length of the palace wall is about168m from east to west, 14 1 m from north to south,16m from south and 22m from north. ",each layer is about 5-6 cm thick, delicate and strong. The height of the whole city wall is about 30 meters, and the top surface of the palace wall is much higher than the ground level of the Qin Dynasty. There is also a stone palace wall inside the earth wall. These stones were all transported from the mountainous area north of Weihe River, which greatly increased the firmness of the palace wall and withstood the baptism of an earthquake of magnitude 8 and remained intact.
According to historical records, the core historical data of the construction of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, Han Jiuyi, records that in 2 10 BC, the contractor's Prime Minister Lisi reported to Qin Shihuang that 720,000 people had been used to build the Mount Li, and it seemed to be underground. After hearing this, Qin Shihuang ordered "to walk another 300 feet or even." This makes us even more curious about how deep it is.
According to the latest drilling data, experts estimate that the actual depth from the pit mouth to the bottom of the underground palace is about 26 meters, and the deepest point to the surface of the Qin Dynasty is about 37 meters. According to the current exploration results, it is calculated. Whether the facts are true or not depends on further verification of archaeological exploration.
According to some experts, the technology is mature. Under the condition of ensuring that the cultural relics are not damaged, it is ready to use robots to enter the underground palace, scan and photograph the ancient tomb in all directions, and then convey information and formulate a reasonable excavation plan.
How big is the largest mausoleum in China's history?
