Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, located at the foot of Lieshan Mountain, is the first royal cemetery in China. In order to build this huge imperial tomb, Qin Shihuang used 700,000 craftsmen, which lasted for 38 years and consumed one third of the national tax revenue. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a miracle of human architectural strength more than two thousand years ago.

For thousands of years, there have been many magical legends and stories about the underground palace of the Qin tombs. "Three Auxiliary Stories" records that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, mobilized 300,000 people to rob the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang when he entered the customs. In the process of excavation, suddenly, a golden goose flew out of the tomb and flew south ... After hundreds of years, time came to the first year of Baoding in the Three Kingdoms period, and someone gave a golden goose to an official named Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan saw it, and immediately judged from the words on the Jin Yan that it was the first imperial tomb ... Originally, the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was very mysterious, and these magical legends added layers of mysterious veil to the mausoleum.

The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is a hill at the foot of Mount Li. Under the hill is a deep and mysterious underground palace. In the north of the enclosure, there are sleeping halls and ceremonial buildings for officials to eat. There are two inner and outer walls outside the enclosure, which are 10 km long. There are hundreds of underground burial pits around the fenced land and in the east, west, south and north. The form, ritual architecture and layout of the enclosure, underground palace, inner and outer city walls of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum are different from any royal cemetery in the pre-Qin period. The mausoleum is large in scale and strange in design. The scale of the cemetery project, the number of workers and the duration are unprecedented.
It can be said that the construction of the cemetery project was accompanied by the birth of Qin Shihuang. Since he 13 years old ascended the throne of the King of Qin, the cemetery project began. However, the tradition of ancient emperors building tombs during their lifetime did not begin with Qin Shihuang. As early as the Warring States period, it has become a practice to build a mausoleum when the king was alive. Our Qin Shihuang only advanced the time when the monarch built the tomb before his death to the early stage of his accession to the throne. This huge cemetery project was not completed until the death of Qin Shihuang. What should I do if my father's mausoleum is not finished? Son, keep building! After Qin Ershi ascended the throne, it took more than a year for this huge mausoleum to be basically completed. An emperor's mausoleum was still being built more than a year after his own death, which is unique in history. Therefore, Qin Shihuang was the only emperor in China and even the world who was still "active" after his death.
I have to admire the designers of the Qin tombs at that time. They not only carefully selected the land of geomantic omen for Qin Shihuang, but also designed the overall layout of the cemetery in an ingenious way. The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is centered on a tall enclosure, and there are two zigzag rammed earth walls outside the enclosure, one on each side of the outer wall. The east gate is located on the east-west axis in the middle of the fence, and the gate is the largest. There are two doors on the north wall of the inner city, and one on each of the other three sides. In particular, the Quemen site at the south gate of the inner city still stands in the south of the tomb, which is very spectacular.
Thousands of years have passed, and the towering mound of Qin Mausoleum still stands at the foot of Mount Li. At that time, the rammed earth wall inside and outside 10 km long was already incomplete. What you can see now is only a section of the residual wall of the west wall of the inner city. The magnificent ground buildings were burned down by Xiang Yu more than two thousand years ago. On the remaining sites, archaeologists discovered the ruins of mausoleum buildings, which are large in scale and concentrated in the north side of the enclosure and the first half of the inner city. Between the inner and outer walls in the northwest of Fengtu, a ground building complex was also found. Judging from the location of the three groups of houses, it seems to be a breeding official building. There are several groups of unexplored ground buildings on the north and south sides of the site, and the scale is also considerable.
The appearance of Qin Ershi destroyed all the evidence-at the end of the year when the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was built, Hu Hai killed all the craftsmen who built the mausoleum-so only the legend about the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was left. The mysterious underground palace is surrounded by many mysteries, which has aroused many scholars' guesses and reverie for thousands of years. It can be said that the rare Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was not only built with a brick and a cup of soil, but also with doubt. Unusual tombs leave the world with not only unusual shocks, but also many puzzling unsolved mysteries.
The underground palace is the most important, grand and complicated project in many projects inside and outside the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. It is the luxurious and magnificent soul residence of emperors and the most famous ancient mausoleum building. For the mysterious underground palace of the Qin Mausoleum, Sima Qian wrote in Historical Records? The Biography of Qin Shihuang only leaves a very brief record: "After crossing the Three Springs, it was buried in bronze, and all the temples, officials and strange objects were buried in it." Let the craftsman make a crossbow, and people who wear it at close range need to shoot it. Taking mercury as a hundred rivers, rivers, seas and underground palaces are the most important, grand and complicated projects in many projects inside and outside the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. It is the luxurious and magnificent soul residence of emperors and the oldest known mausoleum building. Instill the machine, there is astronomy above and geography below. Take mermaid cream as a candle, and it will last for a long time. "So, later generations took this as a clue, trying to find all kinds of clues that can reveal the mystery of the Qin Mausoleum underground palace. ...
