Over the years, there has been a constant debate about whether to excavate the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Those who are in favor of mining have listed many benefits, but the specific ideas have fallen into a misunderstanding.
First of all, National Cultural Heritage Administration has long made it clear that it is an established policy that we must unswervingly implement not to actively explore the Mausoleum.
Secondly, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is a huge systematic project, with more than 180 grave pits discovered. This is an arduous and long-term archaeological task, and every archaeological research result will increase people's understanding of the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
Third, the protection and excavation of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is a big archaeological scientific project step by step. Any "idea" about the underground palace is against the scientific spirit when we don't know enough about the local or surrounding areas and the protection technology of cultural relics.
As far as archaeology is concerned, any kind of excavation of underground cultural relics will inevitably cause certain damage or damage to cultural relics. So most excavations are rescue excavations. For example, if cultural relics are destroyed by human factors such as construction, theft or natural disasters, it is necessary to carry out rescue excavation and protect cultural relics.
Because cultural relics have been buried underground for hundreds of thousands of years, a state of balance has been formed inside them. Once excavated, this balance will be broken, causing damage to cultural relics. Not only can we not actively explore the emperor's mausoleum, but even other underground remains can be explored and tried to be explored as long as conditions permit, but we generally do not actively explore unless necessary. Especially for the most critical part of the tomb, such as the tomb, the archaeological harvest so far is not enough to explain the scene of the tomb, and its basic shape, structure and layout can not even form a system. In the case of insufficient cultural relics protection technology, any "idea" of excavating the underground palace is contrary to the scientific spirit and wishful thinking.

It is the first large-scale and beautifully designed imperial mausoleum in the history of China. There are two rammed earth walls inside and outside, symbolizing the imperial cities Xianyang and Miyagi. The mausoleum is located in the south of the inner city, in the shape of a bucket, with a height of 5 1 m and a base circumference of 1.700 m.
According to historical records, there are various palaces in the Qinling Mountains, displaying many rare treasures. There are a large number of burial pits and tombs with different shapes and connotations around the Qin Mausoleum, and more than 400 have been proved, including the world-famous "eighth wonder of the world" Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit.
