"Passing by the Tomb of Qin Shi Huang": "The dragon pan and the tiger stand on the tree layer by layer, and the floating clouds are also collapsed." In a kind of green mountains and autumn grasses, passers-by only worship The Han Wen Mausoleum. ”
Even though in his later years he was preoccupied with searching for dan and asking for elixirs from the Immortal Mountains; even though he was wise all his life and created a great achievement unparalleled in the world; even if he was the first emperor of Qin, he could not change the end of death that mankind would eventually face. Qin Shi Huang made two preparations before his death, on the one hand, he ordered people to be able to refine the elixir of immortality for him, and on the other hand, he was ready to bury himself, and he ordered people to build a very mysterious Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
It is said that no one can enter the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang alive, and archaeologists have found many white bones at the door while studying the mausoleum
。 At present, experts have only studied the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang
contains a lot of mercury,
What does the inside of the mausoleum look like? No one knows. so
How much mercury is in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang? Look at the pomegranate tree at the top of the mountain and you will understand.
The Mausoleum of The First Emperor of Qin contains a huge amount of mercury
In 246 BC, Qin Shi Huang ordered people to build a majestic terracotta army
It was placed on the periphery of his mausoleum, meaning that thousands of armies and horses could still be driven by him after death. The entire Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was built for 39 years and is the largest and most well-designed imperial mausoleum in Chinese history. occupy
It is said that the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang simulated the magnificent scene of the Sun Moon Mountain and River,
Topped with copper, it is extremely luxurious. The sun and the moon were made of pearls, and a large amount of mercury was made of geographical advantages to make mountains and rivers. And there are many organs in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang,
It is said that in order to prevent the leakage of the organs, Qin II buried all the craftsmen who built the mausoleum alive after succeeding to the throne.
The internal structure of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is very large, with different forms of palaces, and the underground city wall has been built, basically a simulated imperial city.
Returning to the question of how much mercury there is in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the location of Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is exactly Lishan Mountain, where China's pomegranate production is very large.
The pomegranate tree above the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang grows lushly, and the fruit produced is large and looks very full. However, after testing by experts, it was found that
The pomegranate above the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has a high mercury content, beyond the range that the human body can bear
。 If a person accidentally eats the fruit of the pomegranate tree on the mausoleum, it is likely to be life-threatening. In the early years, archaeologists have examined the soil around the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
Mercury levels are high, and the closer you get to the center, the more alarmingly high the soils become
。 So there is enough evidence that the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang contains a huge amount of mercury.
So why did Qin Shi Huang choose mercury as a material?
Under the conditions of technology at that time, only mercury could ensure that the corpse was not the greatest extent
rot. Because Qin Shi Huang believed until his death that he could have eternal life, even if his body died temporarily, he believed that he would one day be able to attain immortality. So he tried his best to preserve his physical body, and thought it was the key to eternal life. Rather than saying that Qin Shi Huang built the mausoleum as his residence after death, it was better to say that he left a back road for himself, leaving a place where he could live for a long time after eternal life.
The mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin makes people feel very mysterious,
Partly because no one has actually gone into the mausoleum.
Only through ancient books did you know the grandeur of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
On the other hand, because the terracotta warriors built around the mausoleum, as soon as they came out, they were listed by the United Nations as the eighth wonder of the world
。 And this is only the outer part of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, how amazing it is inside, and the world can only peek into it from the terracotta warriors.
A magnificent life
The life of Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng can be described as magnificent,
When he was young, he was taken hostage in Zhao Guo with his mother.
The place where he was born was not the Qin state ruled by his father, but the enemy country with a dark tide.
When he was young, yingzheng lived a difficult life of precariousness and displacement
Everything that happens to the survival of an enemy country is unimaginable to ordinary people. Perhaps the lord of the State of Zhao at that time did not expect that this seemingly weak proton would easily destroy the State of Zhao after that, until the unification of the Six Kingdoms and the first emperor in Chinese history.
Qin Shi Huang was very diligent in government, not good for women, and most of the concubines in the palace were descendants of the royal family of the Six Kingdoms
And Qin Shi Huang also had no heart for the harem, and was only bent on stabilizing the situation of great unification, fantasizing that the Qin state could be able to live forever.
Perhaps it was because when he was young, he witnessed the indulgence of his birth mother and the courtiers, which made him very disgusted by it
。 Qin Shi Huang did not spend much effort on the extension of his heirs and the teaching of the crown prince, at least not as much effort as he spent in his later years to pursue immortality and attain the Dao Ascension Immortal. Judging from the fact that the heirs of Qin Shi Huang were later persecuted by a simple eunuch and the century-old foundation of the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. Qin Shi Huang's concern for this matter was far less than his own pursuit of eternal life. If Qin Shi Huang could cultivate his heirs like many emperors in later generations, perhaps the Qin Dynasty would not have died after two lifetimes.
