Chairman Mao once commented on Qin Shihuang , an expert in thick, modern and ancient . What is "being strong in the present and weak in the past"? It means that Qin Shihuang, and focuses on the current development of , did not take it seriously in the formal world of in the past.
is also because of this. When other countries were still vs. , Qin Shihuang was fighting for the six generations of and successfully completed the feat of swallowing the six countries of .
He used practical actions to tell the monarchs of all countries that heroes can not forget their lives when they see small profits, and cherish their lives when they do big things.
After establishing the first feudal dynasty in ancient Chinese society, Qin Shihuang was even more committed to unifying the "civilization" in the whole world.
car and same track, book and text, unified weights and measures , currency , etc. In the end, allows Chinese civilization to continue with the country as the carrier.
What makes people wonder is that in the later period of his reign, he actually favored a 50-year-old widow - Ba Widow Qing. What is the reason for ? It was not until more than two thousand years later that experts found the answer in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang .
Ba Widow Qing
Before understanding this issue, we should first understand what kind of person is Ba Qing. According to relevant information, this woman can definitely be called the first female entrepreneur in ancient Chinese history.
With a unique business vision, after her husband passed away, Ba Qing still supported the building and was about to collapse. Not only did she successfully maintain the glory of the family industry, she also led the family business to a higher height, and the radiation range is no longer limited to the country.
With the success of commercial operations, Ba Qing also carried forward the cinnabar production technology accumulated by his ancestors over the years. even within the entire territory of Qin , Ba Qing also became the dominant .
All other merchants who operate cinnabar's scale and technology cannot be compared with Baqing. What is even more commendable is that even with wealth envied by the world, Ba Qing never took credit or suppressed others with his power. Instead, he began to help the world with .
In addition to its limited vitality, in addition to actively helping the poor and helping the poor, also provides important assistance to the development of the entire country. Whenever the country needs the private to support , she is willing to respond to as soon as possible.
is different from other businessmen’s idea of saving money and avoiding disasters. Ba Qing always believes that only when the country is stronger can the people live a richer life. treasures will only devalue wealth. Only the wealth circulated can reflect its true value.
Such a businessman who is wise, sensible, and knows how to go even if he is a woman? A hero in the world like Qin Shihuang would naturally be very happy to be able to get the support of widow Ba Qing.
and 's preference is not the love between men and women, but more respect for the widow Ba Qing. In fact, according to existing historical data, Qin Shihuang did not really show special favor to a certain woman. Ba Qingsuan is unique to .
Answers to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang
So why do later historians find the answer in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang? In fact, this is mainly related to Qin Shihuang, another life ideal in addition to unifying the world - immortality.
First Emperor I believe everyone knows many things that the first emperor did to seek immortality. But even when is about to die, he cannot find the final answer. Even the most trusted Xu Fu has disappeared after traveling to Penglai to the east. In desperation, Emperor Qin Shi could only "sleep" in the imperial tombs like the previous emperors.
. Judging from the social development concept at that time, cinnabar, a substance like cinnabar, can effectively ensure the integrity of the corpse .
For this reason, Qin Shihuang will inevitably feel a little lucky. After he dies, if he can rely on mercury to protect his body in the imperial tomb, it may be very likely that will see the light of day again one day in the future.
Can’t see the immortality of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, so it’s better to transform yourself into a part of it.
With beautiful imagination, Qin Shihuang collected cinnabar from the whole world. And to this day, the cinnabar he collected is actually the mercury in the Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.
Li Daoyuan records in "Water Classic Notes" :
The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, walking around for more than 30 miles, painting the image of astronomical stars above, and mercury below is the four rivers, rivers, five mountains and nine states.
This shows how much mercury is in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, which has been confirmed by archaeologists through modern instruments.
, where does such a quantity of mercury come from? In fact, the answer is the Widow Ba in the above article.
As Qing Dynasty first mercury producer , when Qin Shihuang proposed the demand for mercury, she did not hesitate to take out her family savings to support it.
Whether it is for to please Qin Shihuang , or just simply respect Qin Shihuang , her behavior will inevitably be grateful to the First Emperor. It is naturally a normal thing for Qin Shihuang to have a preference for him.
Of course, thousands of years have passed since the story was developed, and no one can give an answer to the details.
The only thing we need to pay attention to is that Among the first feudal social country in China for thousands of years, there was once an emperor of the ages and a woman doing business.
Their life trajectories are intertwined by mercury, and ultimately gave later literati a theme that can place on the tip of the pen .
