The mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been sleeping underground for 2,000 years, and the terracotta warriors were discovered in 1974 or accidentally.
In 1974, the terracotta warriors of Qin Shi Huang were found by nearby farmers, who were digging wells and preparing the land, and after discovering the terracotta warriors, they immediately reported to the local cultural relics department.
At that time, the discovery of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses was a sensation, and the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang had thousands of faces, and their facial expressions were very rich, and even their eyes and eyebrows were very delicate. When it was first excavated, it was colored, but then it became gray and protruding when it was oxidized.

In 1974, 1.5 kilometers east of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, three places were found from the burial of soldiers and horses, the finished glyphs were arranged, with a total area of more than 20,000 square meters, and 8,000 pottery barrels, 100 chariots and tens of thousands of physical weapons were unearthed. Among them, pit No. 1 buries about 6,000 pieces of pottery and pottery horses that are the same size as real people; pit No. 2 has more than 1,300 pottery barrels and pottery horses, and 89 chariots; Pit No. 3 has 68 samurai barrels, 1 chariot, and 4 pottery horses.
There was once a foreigner who was particularly interested in the Terracotta Warriors, and at one time put on clothes similar to the Terracotta Warriors and Stood in the Terracotta Pit. Some tourists found that the terracotta warriors would move, startled, and then found that it was a real person, and reported to the police, making a joke.
The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang are cultural relics, very precious cultural relics, how to protect these cultural relics, the relevant departments are also doing their best to do.
As early as the 1960s and 1970s, the state issued instructions that only protective excavations of national cultural relics should be carried out. That is to say, unless it is stolen, then the state takes the initiative to excavate. Otherwise, the status quo will be maintained.

During the summer vacation, I once went to the Provincial Museum to see it. In the museum, I saw some cultural relics unearthed in our province, among which the burial items of Zhu Tan, the king of Lu, were unearthed, including some gold ornaments, jade, and some other treasures, such as jade belts, and hats, which were very gorgeous and luxurious. These things have been displayed in several museums. King Lu was the 10th son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and his birth mother was Guo Ningfei, who died at the age of 19, because he was alchemizing dan and taking it before he died, so Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry, and after his death, his nickname was King Lu Huang.
For example, the tomb of King Lu was also inadvertently discovered by the common people, and then a protective excavation was carried out, and after the excavation, it was necessary to re-protect and display the exhibition, whether the cultural relics could be the same as before the excavation, which is a problem, and how to effectively protect it also requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

In addition, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is the same, if excavated, it will inevitably bring a lot of problems, and it has no main body of the mausoleum that has not been stolen, so there is no need for excavation.
The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is located 5 kilometers east of Lincheng County, about 37 kilometers away from Xi'an City, leaning on Lishan Mountain in the south and Weishui in the north.
For the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, it is said that the mausoleum is filled with mercury and many organs are set up. And it is built on the mountain, and the area is very huge. Don't say that it is to find the specific location of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, it is really found, and how to excavate it is even more of a problem.
The mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is approximately square, the top is flat, the waist is slightly stepped, the height is 76 meters, the length from east to west is 345 meters, the width from north to south is 350 meters, and it covers an area of 120,750 square meters, which is a rough data.
At present, our science and technology are not yet developed, or not developed enough, so let these cultural relics lie well underground. Take the things of the ancestors, and some unsolved mysteries, let the future generations solve it!
