How did the ancient kings choose the location of the mausoleum?

Ancient kings were very particular about geomantic omen when choosing tombs, so they began to look for their own tombs when they inherited the throne. In ancient times, their sons were buried with their fathers, so the tombs they were looking for could not be particularly far from the location of the first emperor. Therefore, Qin officials will be asked to find the best feng shui treasure house nearby, and then they can build a mausoleum after the address is determined.

Many kings began to build tombs after he succeeded to the throne, and would not build them until his death. Therefore, it takes decades to build a mausoleum, which is a matter that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. In ancient times, there were mountains and mountains, and there must be peaks before and after the mausoleum, forming a natural barrier. There are mountains in front of and behind the mausoleum, and the mausoleum is sandwiched between peaks to form a natural treasure.

Then in ancient times, water was considered as wealth, so it was also chosen to be close to the water source. But when the mausoleum is built, it should not be too close to the water, because the water will flood the mausoleum, but the whole design of the mausoleum will be fine if there is water. At that time, when Qin Shihuang was building a mausoleum, he actually found a pool in the treasure house of Feng Shui. It is difficult to build it, but he doesn't want to give it up, because it is also a treasure trove of geomantic omen.

In ancient times, it was not so easy to find a land of feng shui. Tian Jian, the minister of Qin, will measure it bit by bit. Although it seems simple to find now, in ancient times, it needed to be measured step by step, and the range of general selection was also thousands of kilometers. In such a large range, it is very difficult to find the best feng shui position by hand.

Therefore, it may take a year or two to choose tombs in ancient times. Of course, this process is very important, and this king will give Qin enough time to find it. Once a treasure trove of feng shui is discovered, it will be reported to the king, and some kings will personally inspect it before approving the construction of the mausoleum.
