Introduction: Why the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has not been excavated, whether there is a mysterious organ or a hidden feeling
As the first unified emperor in Chinese history, Qin Shi Huang is a legend. If you say that there is an emperor in the ancient world, it is definitely not the first emperor, and everything else is the younger brother level. About six hundred years after the Spring and Autumn Warring States, Qin finally achieved great unification in the hands of the First Emperor after the efforts of successive dynasties, which was a turning point from the ancient feudal system to the monarchical centralized system, and also the beginning of the integration of Chinese civilization and hundred ideas.
So the question is, now we all know the location of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and there are also certain excavation techniques, but why can't we carry out archaeological excavations for a long time, so that this emperor of the ages can reappear in the human world. (If you are alive, forget it)
In fact, soon after he succeeded to the throne, he began to build a mausoleum. For more than thirty years, the periphery is 2,000 meters long and 55 meters high, and the annual construction of laborers is about 700,000 people. Just by looking at this set of data, you know how luxurious it is. According to relevant historical records, the mausoleum is crowned with bronze casting, with mercury as rivers, lakes and seas, and is full of organs, and the top has the sun, moon and stars made of pearls. It can be seen how luxurious it is...
As the mausoleum of China's first emperor, the Shi Huang Mausoleum is located in the northern foothills of Lishan Mountain, about 5 kilometers east of Lintong City in Shaanxi Province; there are two rammed earth walls inside and outside the imperial tomb, symbolizing the imperial palace. Located in the south of the inner city, the mausoleum is in the shape of a bucket, now 51 meters high and has a circumference of more than 1700 meters at the bottom. According to historical records, there are also various palaces built in the Qin Tombs, displaying many strange treasures. There are a large number of funerary pits and tombs with different shapes and connotations distributed around the QinLing Tombs, and more than 4,000 have been discovered.
What has been excavated and is well known is the Terracotta Warriors.
The purpose of the First Emperor in building the Terracotta Warriors was to be able to dominate in hades. After all, in that era, people did not have this scientific theory, the theory of gods and ghosts was the mainstream of that era, looking at Xu Fu, it was not to go overseas to find the elixir of immortality.
It seems that there is a lot of nonsense, but let's talk about why we have not excavated the First Emperor's Tomb.
The first is the moral level (in fact, it is very ridiculous, how many ancestral graves have been dug)
As an emperor of the ages, don't you deserve to have some face? This is like being dug up by us, and what is the face; as our ancestors, doing so is actually digging a grave. Digging graves is detrimental to yin and morality, and it is not good for future generations.
In fact, the moral level is nonsense, and the real reason is the lack of technology.
That's right, technical deficiencies.
Counting the time, more than two thousand two hundred years have passed, and the items preserved in the mausoleum underground palace have been in a state of sealing, and once they are opened and exposed to the air, oxidation is in an instant. What color, it is almost impossible to preserve.
The later excavation of the Terracotta Warriors was shelved because of this problem, and the terracotta warriors we see now are not the appearance of the first appearance. The first excavations are colored and look even more imposing.
Secondly, there were mercury and arrow crossbow mechanisms, etc. According to the qin's forging technology at that time, some of these weapons did not fail, and they were already able to guard the safety of the tomb owner.
Think about the data at the beginning, the project of 700,000 people per year is for a mausoleum, so the complex environment inside is not something we can imagine.
