The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is located at the northern foot of Mount Li, 5 kilometers east of Lintong District, Xi City, Shaanxi Province.
The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is one of the largest, strangest and richest imperial tombs in the world. This fully embodies the artistic talent of the working people of the ancient Han nationality in China more than 2,000 years ago, which is the pride and precious wealth of the Chinese nation and the crystallization of human wisdom. It provided valuable historical resources for future generations to explore Qin Shihuang's dynasty, and also fully reflected Qin Shihuang's ambition at that time.

The mystery of death
The death of Qin Shihuang left many doubts, such as:
Time of death: Chronicle of the First Emperor records that Qin Shihuang died in Bing Yin in July of the 37th year, but there is no Bing Yin Day in July of that year in the calendar unearthed from Qin Tomb in Zhoujiatai. Kazuo kawasaki, a Japanese scholar, thinks that this "July Bing Yin" should be regarded as the mistake of August Bing Yin. Xin Deyong, a Chinese scholar, thinks that the month is correct and the date is more likely to be wrong.
Place of death: According to Historical Records, the first emperor collapsed in a sand dune. According to Zhao Zhengshu, the first emperor had arrived in Berber when he was seriously ill.
Will content: According to Records of the Historian, the first emperor's will ordered Fu Su to return. In fact, Fu Su is the heir, but before he made it, it collapsed. Zhao Gao took the opportunity to forge an imperial edict to give Fu Su the death penalty and succeeded Hu Hai. "Zhao Zhengshu" contains that the first emperor called Li Si and others to discuss and agree with them, and Hu Hai succeeded him.
As far as the content differences between Historical Records and Zhao Zhengshu are concerned, from the time of writing, Sima Qian, the author of Historical Records, may not have never seen Zhao Zhengshu or that the first emperor took Hu Hai as his heir, but this statement was excluded from the narrative of Historical Records. For future generations, further exploration still lacks more clues.

The mausoleum is located in the south of the inner city, in the shape of a bucket, with a height of 5 1 m and a base circumference of 1.700 m.
According to historical records, there are various palaces in the Qinling Mountains, displaying many rare treasures.

Horror pictures in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum
Qin Shihuang has not yet opened the tomb, and its internal terror is as follows:
First: A lot of mercury was injected into the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
The reason why the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang has not been opened so far is actually mainly because there are too many unknown things in the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. If the tomb is opened blindly, it is likely to cause a large number of casualties. According to historical records and archaeologists' research, it shows that a large amount of mercury is injected into Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, which is easy to volatilize, so if you open Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, a large amount of mercury will volatilize, which is fatal. This is a great threat to the safety of archaeologists.
Archaeologists will not blindly carry out archaeological excavations until they have mastered the exact treatment methods or effective control means. After all, ensuring the safety of personnel is the most important thing. Moreover, because the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is dangerous, grave robbers dare not touch it casually, so it is still relatively well preserved so far.
Second: There are many unknown organs in the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
In fact, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor covers a very large area. If you want to dig, you need a lot of manpower and material resources, and it may take decades or even hundreds of years to complete the excavation. Such a big workload is not easy to start. Moreover, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was built under the leadership of Li Si at that time. It took 39 years to complete, and many treasures were placed in the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
At that time, Qin Shihuang was afraid that someone would rob the tomb after death, so he designed many organs and anti-theft measures. If he opens the tomb blindly at this time, he is likely to be trapped in the process of excavation. In addition, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is too big and has too many organs. Not every organ can be handled carefully, and it will die if you don't pay attention, so archaeologists are not sure that it can be handled well now, so the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor has not dared to open the tomb so far.

In recent years, due to the rise of tomb-robbing novels, more and more people have a strong interest in ancient tomb archaeology. Through the study of ancient tombs, we can know that the traces left by the ancients have been found in history, which provides more convenience for historical research. In the last century, the villagers at the foot of Mount Li accidentally discovered that the Terracotta Warriors solved the mystery of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. However, until now, we haven't had the conditions to dig the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, so we haven't dug it easily until now. Although Qin Shihuang's mausoleum can't be excavated, the tombs related to Qin Shihuang, such as Qiyue Tomb and Qin Gong No.1 Tomb, still shocked the archaeological team.
After the discovery of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, the archaeological team began to conduct extensive exploration near the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, hoping to find the real location of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. However, the archaeological team accidentally discovered another ancient tomb-Qin Gong No.1 tomb, which is the largest tomb group discovered by the archaeological team so far. However, at the same time, it is sad that 247 stolen caves and 65,438+086 bodies were found.
According to the research of archaeologists, it is found that the owner of Qin Gong No.1 Tomb is Qin Jinggong, the ancestor of Qin Shihuang. Everyone is very excited about this discovery. The Qin cemetery has a long history and a large scale. Although there are more than 200 stolen caves, it still has high archaeological value. First, the archaeological team found a complete and flawless "yellow sausage puzzle" coffin, and it is a complete set of small palaces. Materials are even more precious, all cypress hearts, especially structural skills. In addition, more than 3,000 cultural relics, more than 290 stone chimes engraved with seal characters and many other funerary objects have been unearthed. It took ten years to dig them all up.
Archaeologists found 186 human remains in the main tomb. These bones are strange in shape and don't look like normal deaths. Among them, 166 is 20 incomplete bones scattered all over the coffin. According to the archaeologist's judgment on the age of the tomb owner, this is a unique burial system in Qin State. The 20 bones scattered outside the coffin are "man and beast", that is, ancient prisoners of war or slaves were buried as animals, and 166 bones inside the coffin were martyrdom coffins.
Is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor open?
The mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is not open.
Ying Zheng, the first emperor of Qin Shihuang, was called the King of Qin and the first emperor. He was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao. The neutron of Wang Xiang in Qin Zhuang, the 35th grandson of Loy, an important minister in Shang Dynasty. In the third volume of Western Han bamboo slips collected by Peking University, it is called Zhao Zheng. In the Tang Dynasty, Sima Zhen quoted Zhao Zheng [known as Ying Zheng in the world], which was also called "Zulong" in some literary works. Claiming to be the "First Emperor", he was the monarch of Qin State in China at the end of the Warring States Period. He acceded to the throne at the age of thirteen, and successively eliminated _ _ and Lv Buwei, and reused Reese and Liao Wei. At the age of thirty-nine, he unified the six countries and established the Qin Dynasty. At the age of fifty, he died while on patrol. He reigned for thirty-seven years.
Qin Shihuang was the first monarch to use the title of emperor in history. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he inherited the county system and centralization of Shang Yang's political reform, and implemented a number of policies, regulations and legal systems, such as unified measurement, "the same train, the same book and the same line", which laid the basic pattern of China's political system for more than 2,000 years. Li Zhi, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty, praised him as "an emperor through the ages". On the other hand, Qin Shihuang also carried out many large-scale projects during his reign, including the construction of the Great Wall, Epang Palace and Mount Li. And tyranny made the people's corvee heavy, which was one of the reasons for the rapid demise of the Qin Dynasty three years after its death.
