As we all know, Qin Shi Huang was an emperor of the ages, an ancient Chinese politician, strategist, and reformer who successively destroyed the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, completed the great cause of unifying China, established the Qin Dynasty, and called himself the "First Emperor"; The first political figure to complete the unification of China, the first monarch in Chinese history to use the title of "emperor".
Although later generations have mixed praise and criticism of him, we must know that Qin Shi Huang was an outstanding historical figure who made great contributions to the development of Chinese history, and at the same time a cruel tyrant. His exploits are the main aspect, but they cannot conceal his sins, which are profound, but should not obscure his great historical exploits.
However, after his death, Qin Shi Huang was buried in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in lishan tomb. The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is located in the northern foothills of Lishan Mountain, 5 kilometers east of Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. Built between 246 and 208 BC and lasting 39 years, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin was the first large-scale and well-designed imperial mausoleum in Chinese history. As the largest mausoleum, there are too many secrets in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. In order to explore the secrets of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, experts conducted a aerial photograph of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang by satellite. When the experts got the satellite cloud map of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, they were surprised to find that the overall trend of the mountain range from Huagong to Qiaoshan was like a giant dragon. The location of the main mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang happens to be in the position of the dragon's eye.
Although his mausoleum was discovered early, why does no one dare to dig it in modern times?
First of all, there is no doubt that there are many secrets under the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and there will be countless treasures, if it is really excavated and studied, it is bound to have a further study and understanding of the history of that era. In fact, as early as the discovery of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, there were many famous experts who wanted to study it, and had submitted an application to the government department to excavate the mausoleum, but as expected, it was immediately rejected.
The reason is that the underground palace of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is very deep, and vertical surveying is a big problem, which is very tricky. Ancient tomb robbers coveted the Tomb of the Qin Emperor, according to the "Book of Han, Volume 36 , Biography of King Chu Yuan, Sixth", after Xiang Yu invaded Guanzhong, Xiang Yu led more than 300,000 people to excavate the Qin Tomb for more than 30 days. Large-scale destruction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, the destruction of ground buildings, and the excavation of the imperial tomb. According to the artifacts unearthed from the Terracotta Pit, there are obvious traces of fire and destruction, so most people believe that the events recorded in the history books are true. But more detailed studies have shown that Xiang Yu and other forces that have excavated the imperial tomb may not have found the imperial tomb underground palace. That is to say, Xiang Yu only dug the outer layer of the mausoleum, but did not dig deeper, and probably knew the danger of follow-up.
However, the modern discovery of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum has not been excavated, mainly because the Qin Emperor's tomb is too large, and the underground palace is located deep underground. There are many things in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang that have been buried for a long time, if it is really opened, and today's cultural relics protection technology can not ensure that cultural relics will not be damaged, many cultural relics in the underground palace can not be exposed to air, once in contact with air, it will be largely oxidized by air, cultural relics may immediately lose their original color, the loss of great research value. If it is really opened, then the artifacts are really gone.
And it is said that there are many organs in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, if blindly entered, it is likely to encounter danger, and there is a lot of mercury in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and mercury as a heavy metal, the damage to the human body is very large, so the plan to excavate was canceled.

According to records, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Shi Huang was built for 39 years, the scale is 78 times that of the Forbidden City, it is conceivable that excavation is also a huge project, if excavated, the manpower, material resources and financial resources required may be innumerable.
However, I believe that although there is no in-depth understanding of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang now, after the follow-up waiting time is ripe, there will still be the possibility of continued excavation, after all, it is still of great significance to the study of history.
