Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Underground Palace (network diagram)
Qin Shi Huang, whose life can be described as all earth-shattering events, completed the unification of China, was the founder of the great unification of the Chinese nation, called himself the first emperor, established the first imperial ruling dynasty in China, and was honored by later generations as the first emperor of the ages. He built the Great Wall, the Qin Straight Road, the Lingqu Canal, unified writing and weights and measures, chased the Xiongnu in the north, and occupied Baiyue in the south, each of which had a profound impact on Chinese history. Qin Shi Huang was looking at the world at that time, thinking not only about the achievements he wanted to make in this life, but all the worlds must be under his control, the pattern is the world, the first emperor is the world, and the domineering is unstoppable. When he was alive, he also said a passage to deter future generations for 2200 years, so that no one has dared to move the Qin Tombs so far.

Located in the Lintong area of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, the Qin Tomb was built in 246 BC, lasted 39 years, and was completed by 208 BC, making it the first large-scale and well-designed imperial mausoleum in Chinese history. The imperial tomb is built with two rammed earth walls inside and outside, which are modeled after the imperial city of the capital Xianyang. The imperial tomb was mainly built in a branch of the Qinling Mountains called Lishan Mountain, because although the Qin people lived in the Guanzhong area at that time, according to the migration of the ancient peoples, most of the Qin people were from the Qinling and Longxi regions. The Qinling Mountains are regarded by the Qin people as the main vein of Chinese civilization like the Kunlun Mountains. The mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang settled in the Lishan Mountains, which not only shocked the entire Guanzhong region, but also commandingly overlooked the whole world.
Because Qin Shi Huang first raised the precedent of building imperial tombs in Guanzhong, there has always been such a sentence in the change of dynasties in later generations: The talent of the south, the general of the north, the loess buried emperor in Guanzhong! According to historical records, the designer of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was Li Si, the Great Qin Emperor. At that time, the overseer of the entire mausoleum construction was Shaofu Zhang handan, one of the nine secretaries of the Qin Dynasty. Their function is to handle all kinds of royal affairs and to serve all the relatives of the emperor and the state. Most of the people who built the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang came from criminals and slaves captured in the war, and the number was as high as 720,000 at the peak. According to legend in history, the imperial tomb was built on the vein of the Chinese dragon, and the first emperor was satisfied with it, and he also said a shocking saying to warn future generations.

"Unify the six kingdoms, unify the world, build the Great Wall, the dragon vein of the town of Jiuzhou, defend my Great Qin, and protect my community." In the name of the First Emperor, he swore an oath here, and he was here to defend the territory and open up the frontier. Sweep away the four yi and set the foundation of my Great Qin. Death, will also be transformed into a dragon soul, bless my Huaxia forever! This oath, the sun and the moon as evidence, the heavens and the earth to learn together, the immortals and demons and gods to listen to it! As the first emperor, the future generations are counted, and the second and third generations are passed on endlessly! However, is the truth really as Qin Shi Huang said, the mausoleum is on the vein of the Chinese dragon, and the excavation was the beginning of the Chinese disaster? Although this legend can no longer be verified, why has no one dug up the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang until today? The reason is that the mausoleum is huge, with a circumference of more than 1700 meters, and thousands of years of geographical changes and soil changes have made it more dangerous.
According to the "Chronicle of History", there is a dark crossbow in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and when thieves enter the touching mechanism, they will be shot by the crossbow. There are also traps and traps that cooperate with the Dark Crossbow. According to the exploration of modern scientific instruments, there are still huge amounts of mercury in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. If the excavation technology is immature and leads to the leakage of mercury, it is likely to cause serious damage to the interior of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. However, today's archaeological excavation technology is actually not mature, the most typical example is that when the tomb of the Wanli Emperor was excavated, many precious silk relics were rapidly oxidized and dissipated at the moment of excavation. The excavation of the Wanli Mausoleum, which is only 400 years old, is still like this. No one can guarantee what kind of vision will appear when the tomb of Qin Shi Huang is excavated.

Instead of not getting good protection after excavation, it is better to let it continue to sleep underground, so not digging the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and not coveting the rare treasures inside is the best protection for the Tomb of Qin Shi Huang. Folk people often say, "It is better to believe in what it has than to believe in what it does not have." After all, the First Emperor is the first emperor of China, who has made indelible contributions to the world.
