In the ancient history of china's feudalism, there were a total of 493 emperors, but the only person who could be called "the first emperor of the ages" was Qin Shi Huang. From 230 BC to 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang successively destroyed the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi to complete the great cause of unification, and he believed that his merits exceeded that of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, so he formed the title of "Emperor" with the "Emperor" of the Three Emperors and the "Emperor" of the Five Emperors.
Qin Shi Huang said that the emperor also did a lot of periods, and it can even be said that many people's things were done by Qin Shi Huang after he was called emperor, and the more positive ones were the abolition of the sub-feudal system and the replacement of the county system; at the same time, the book was the same text, the car was on the same track, and the weights and measures were unified. As well as the northern attack on the Xiongnu, the southern conquest of Baiyue and so on.
Negative ones are the so-called "book burning pit Confucianism", which is recorded in the Chronicle of History, Volume 121, and the Biography of Ru Linlie: "And in the Qin Dynasty, the burning of poetry books, pit warlocks, and the six arts have been absent from now on", so Qin Shi Huang was a "tyrant" in the eyes of most people.
More controversial is the "four major projects" of Qin Shi Huang, which are Afang Palace, the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles, Qin Zhidao, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
Among these four major projects, the Great Wall and the QinZhiDao are military projects, and although they have consumed huge labor and financial resources, they have played a vital role in the development of China's history. The Afang Palace was built purely for personal pleasure by Qin Shi Huang, and was later burned by Xiang Yu on fire.
The last thing to say is the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which is the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and is now also a treasure of Chinese culture. For example, the Terracotta Warriors, which shocked the world in 1973, is a funerary pit in the Mausoleum of The First Emperor of Qin, and is now one of the world's top ten ancient tombs. So why is the main underground palace of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum not excavated?
It turned out that in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, experts detected that there was a "huge amount" of mercury, estimated to be about 100 tons, what is this concept? At least 116 tons of dansha are refined, the origin of this mercury has always been a mystery, the "History" records that there was a widow in Bashu, their family has been running a mercury mine for generations, their family's "Gongguan Mercury Mine" is a large mercury antimony deposit of more than 100 miles, but the mercury mined for decades is only enough for a small part of qinling. Therefore, the mercury in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was collected almost all the quantities that could be collected at that time.
In addition to the large amount, the neckline is also carefully designed to mechanically stir the mercury, so that it flows endlessly, so that the tomb is filled with a high concentration of mercury vapor to maintain the long-term immortality of the body of Qin Shi Huang, which is also recorded in the "History": "Mercury is used as a hundred rivers and seas, and the machine phase is instilled." ”
We know that mercury is highly toxic, hundreds of tons of mercury in the tomb gushing out a high concentration of mercury vapor, resulting in excessive mercury content in the nearby soil, so the nearby people dare not pick nearby plants. At the same time, experts have picked pomegranates grown in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang for testing, and sure enough, the mercury content in them exceeded the standard.
Therefore, in order to protect the public environment and also for the sake of their own health, tourists who travel in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin must not rush to pick nearby fruits to eat.
