Qin Shi Huang is undoubtedly one of the most talented emperors in history, his story is widely circulated in the folk, he is an emperor for thousands of years, but also a tyrant, after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, he wanted his descendants to sit in the jiangshan forever, so he took many methods, one of which is still a mystery, that is, the story of casting the twelve golden people in front of the Afang Hall.
In front of the Afang Hall of the Qin King's Palace, there are 12 large bronze people cast in bronze, because the copper is yellow, so they are also called golden people, they wear foreign costumes, each is very huge and heavy, it is difficult to transport, and they are carved with fine patterns, each of them is energetic, heroic, day and night guarding the Palace of the King of Qin.
So why did Qin Shi Huang cast the Twelve Golden Men?
The first view is that Qin Shi Huang used all kinds of hardships to lay down the Qin Dynasty's Jiangshan, so he wanted to pass it on to thousands of generations, so some people put forward opinions to strengthen the rule of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang listened to the opinion, he confiscated the weapons of the world, cast them into the Golden Twelve, to weaken the people of the world, and then put the Twelve Golden People in front of the temple, hoping that the Twelve Golden People could help him sit in the Jiangshan, in fact, there is another story, that is, Qin Shi Huang is watching juggling, when he is happy, Suddenly saw a pair of murderous warriors with weapons on the field to perform, Qin Shi Huang suddenly realized something, Qin Shi Huang felt that there were too many weapons in the world, so it would threaten his rule, so he ordered the destruction of the world's weapons, just at this time a person said that he saw twelve giants, saying something like "Canal to one, manifest in gold, a hundred evils, Bai Ruisheng", Qin Shi Huang was very happy after hearing it, so he ordered the casting of twelve golden people, forever protecting the Great Qin Dynasty.
The second point of view is that Qin Shi Huang was resting in the Afang Palace one day, and suddenly had a dream, he dreamed that the sky was dark, and then there were ghosts and gods and demons who said that they wanted to walk more of his rivers and mountains, he was very afraid, and when he was at a loss for words, he suddenly saw a white-haired old Dao come to him, this old Dao was a Dao bone fairy wind, full of vigor, he waved the dust and said to Qin Shi Huang: "Only by making the twelve golden people can we sit firmly in the world." After saying that, as soon as the golden light flashed, the old way disappeared, and Qin Shi Huang woke up from his dream and immediately summoned a group of warlocks, and this group of warlocks said to Qin Shi Huang: "This is the apparition of the gods and immortals, and we should do the same", so Qin Shi Huang ordered the casting of 12 bronze people, placed outside the main hall, forever ensuring the stability of Great Qin, so that 12 golden people stood outside the great hall of the Qin Dynasty.
Because Qin Shi Huang was very superstitious before he was born, he obeyed the words of the warlock, so the 12 golden people were cast in this way, and from then on, they guarded the palace of Qin Shi Huang day and night, helping Qin Shi Huang to stand guard for many years.
But then 12 Jin people disappeared, some people said that Xiang Yu was burned when he burned the Afang Palace, some people said that Dong Zhuo took it to mint money, and some people said that 12 Jin people were eventually taken to the imperial tomb by Qin Shi Huang, in short, 12 Jin people eventually disappeared.
