Why was Qin Shihuang buried in Mount Li?

Mount Li is famous for its unique hot springs and scenery. At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Youwang and his concubine Jia Cong staged a historical tragedy here, which led to the rise of warring princes and ruined the Western Zhou Dynasty. The mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was built here, which also created the tragedy of the death of II. Is Mount Ali a blessing or a curse? Why did Qin Shihuang fall in love with Mount Li and build a mausoleum here? According to the traditional geomantic theory in ancient China, Mount Li is definitely a blessed land. The ancients regarded the choice of cemetery as a great event for the benefit of future generations, especially Qin Shihuang, a feudal emperor who tried to spread it around the world, naturally paid more attention to the location of cemetery. "Notes on Water Classics" records: "Qin Shihuang held a big burial and built a cemetery in Lirongshan, Lantian. Its yin is rich in gold, and its yang is rich in jade. The first emperor was greedy for his good name and buried it. " Shan Zhinan's lantian jade is famous all over the world, and the modern geological team once dug a gold mine at the northern foot of Mount Li. From the analysis of the traditional concept of death, Qin Shihuang wanted to keep the gold and jade here for himself after his death. In addition, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor faces Mount Li in the south, Wei River in the north, and a artificially transformed fish pond water in the east. According to "Notes on Water Classics", "Water flows out of the northeast of Mount Li and flows from the north. Later, Qin Shihuang was buried in the north of the mountain. When the water meandered, it turned from east to north, and the first emperor built a tomb to borrow soil. The land is deep, and the water gathers into a pond. This is the so-called fish pond ... The pond water flows through the northwest and the first emperor is buried in the north. " The Story of the Road in the Jin Dynasty said: "At the beginning, there was a peak in the south of the Imperial Mausoleum, named Wang Feng. According to legend, people who built the mausoleum hoped that it would prevail." According to the investigation, the top of the enclosure center of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum and the north and south gates of the outer wall are in a straight line with the north and south of Wangfeng, the highest peak of Mount Li in the south. And each ridge is like a petal, and the Qin Mausoleum is in the stamen position. It is for this reason that people called the first imperial tomb "Lotus Cave". It is not difficult to find that the geomantic features of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum are that the back mountain faces south, and the east, west and north are surrounded by water on three sides. It is not difficult to explain why Qin Shihuang chose Mount Li to build the empire behind him. It can be said that the concept of building tombs by mountains and rivers in Qin Dynasty also had a far-reaching impact on later generations. Mausoleums in the Western Han Dynasty, such as Gaozu Changling Mausoleum, Wendi Baling Mausoleum, Jingdi Yangling Mausoleum and Wudi Mausoleum, were all chosen by imitating the geomantic thought of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Later tombs basically inherited the idea of building tombs by mountains and rivers.
