Qin Shi Huang is an emperor of thousands of years, he unified China, the first emperor in the history of our country, Qin Shi Huang's life merits are interdependent, the Qin Dynasty opened China's ancient feudal society. During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the Qin Dynasty was strong and powerful, and Qin Shi Huang unified weights and measures, built the Great Wall, and created a centralized system.
After his death, the scenery is naturally infinite, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been repaired since the time of his reign, and after thousands of years of ups and downs, is the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang intact or has nothing?
It took a total of thirty-seven years for the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to be built in its entirety, and it was built under the auspices of the Qin Emperor From the time of the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin, and the construction of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang began in 247 BC. The mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is exquisitely designed and the scale is particularly grand, and the mausoleum of the first emperor in the history of our country certainly cannot make future generations feel extremely shabby.
The scale of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is unimaginable, the total area of the mausoleum is 56.25 square kilometers, how big is the area of more than 50 square kilometers? In our impression, the area of the Forbidden City is relatively large, the area of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is about 78 Forbidden City, it can be imagined that 78 Forbidden City can be connected together to form a Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum.
Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is composed of two parts, divided into two parts before and after, equivalent to building a capital city in the ground, China's ancient imperial capital construction has an imperial city and a palace city, the outer part of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is the palace city, the inner part is the imperial city, the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is the Spring and Autumn Warring States and the Qin and Han Dynasties the most representative mausoleum.
As for why the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang did the west to the east, there is still no conclusive conclusion as to why it will be done in the west and east, which may be related to the superstitious art of immortality in the lifetime of Yingzheng, which is contrary to the traditional direction of sitting north and facing south. There is also a saying related to the personality of Qin Shi Huang himself, he inherited the throne at the age of thirteen, and then unified the six kingdoms in one fell swoop, the Qin State is in the west, and the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is located in the west and facing east to symbolize Qin Shi Huang's pride in his achievements.
Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is so large, the burial items in the mausoleum are naturally countless, rare and exotic treasures are available, the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum has existed for thousands of years, how many burial items are in the mausoleum, and whether the tomb is stolen or not is the most concerned issue. According to the historical records, Xiang Yu's mausoleum was destroyed since he entered Guanzhong.
After Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong, he burned and plundered in Xianyang City, and did no evil, Xiang Yu killed the nobles of the Qin Dynasty, and after scavenging in the city, he went to the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, Xiang Yu did this for two purposes, one was to excavate the rare treasures inside, and the other was to humiliate Qin Shi Huang. Being dug up for a mausoleum was a great shame for Qin Shi Huang, who was extremely proud at the beginning.
Because the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was too grand, Xiang Yu was unwilling to raid all the palaces and underground palaces in a short period of time, and thousands of soldiers spent more than a month without digging it, and Xiang Yu could no longer afford to delay the battle with Liu Bang, so he transported all the treasures he had dug up, and if he had not dug it, he would simply burn it, and Xiang Yu's move was the first disaster suffered by the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and it was also the most damaged disaster.
After Xiang Yu withdrew from the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the bandits took this opportunity to rob the tomb, and the mausoleum was damaged again.
After several waves of looting and burning, the above-ground part of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum has been destroyed, and the underground part has slight traces of being destroyed.
After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, because Liu Bang was not orthodox, so Liu Bang's urgent problem to be solved was how to appease and buy the people's hearts, Liu Bang thought of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, after all, Qin Shi Huang was the first person to unify China, and protecting and restoring his mausoleum will definitely establish a good image of the emperor for himself.
Han Gaozu ordered that people be sent to protect the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang from being looted, and he sent people living next to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to act as "tomb keepers", which were several generations, because with the precedent of Han Gaozu, other emperors in later generations also followed Liu Bang's example to protect the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
Even from the Song Dynasty onwards, the emperor sent people to repair the mausoleum of The First Emperor of Qin. But no matter how hard they tried, they refused to be able to absolutely prevent thieves, let alone protect the mausoleum in the era of war, and it was imperative for everyone to loot the treasure. The aboveground part of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin has long been gone, and the situation in the underground part is the most worrying.
After the founding of New China, China began to investigate the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, listing it as the first batch of intangible cultural heritage in China and a key cultural relics unit for protection. Through the detection of modern technology, it was found that the part of the underground palace of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum was not damaged, because it contained mercury, and the passage into the underground palace was very complicated, and it was not easy to enter the interior of the underground palace.
