Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is the tomb of the first emperor of China, Ying Zheng. It is located 5 kilometers east of Lintong County, Shaanxi Province, Mount Li in the south, and Weishui in the north. It is the largest and relatively complete imperial tomb. The mound of earth more than 30 meters above the ground shows the luxury and majesty of the emperor.
People have always believed that Qinling is just a large tomb. After the Terracotta Warriors were unearthed in 1974, they realized that this imperial tomb was extraordinary. The huge army formation was buried with it. The military formation was 1.5 kilometers away from the finite land. Rumors were everywhere. Some people said that there was a tunnel between the underground palace and the Terracotta Warriors. Whenever the rain continued, the Yin soldiers formed by the evil ghosts roared and rushed to pay homage to Qin Shihuang .
There is also saying that the underground palace uses mercury to simulate rivers and seas. Qin Shihuang lay in the coffin, wandering with mercury, patrolling the country like he was alive. Some people also say that the walls of the tomb passage are Eternal Lights made of whales, which has been bright as daylight for more than two thousand years, illuminating the underground palace for the emperor of the ages.
Various legends cast a mysterious veil on the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, making people have infinite imagination about the huge mound of earth. What rare treasures do the Qin Mausoleum? Are there really mountains of gold and silver in the underground palace, and there is a river made of mercury? How big is Qin Shihuang’s coffin? What other treasures will be in the tomb of the first emperor?
Qinling has long been empty?
You should know that nine out of ten tombs are empty. No matter how many treasures are buried, once they are targeted by tomb robbers, they will definitely be wiped out. The mound of Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum is so eye-catching, and the burial objects of the One Emperor of the Eternal are absolutely tempting. In the past 2,200 years, there have been many people who have targeted it.
Qin Mausoleum was completed in 209 BC. Two years later, Xiang Yu led the rebel army into the capital, buried 200,000 surrendered Qin soldiers alive, and killed the surrendered Qin King Ziying. After the Qin Empire was declared destruction, he still couldn't relieve his hatred. He wanted to take revenge. After burning the Abang Palace, he also had to dig the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum.
"Records of the Grand Historian" The Record of Emperor Gaozu: Xiang Yu burned the Qin palace, dug the tomb of the First Emperor, and privately collected his property. The fourth crime. The "Shui Jing Note" says: Xiang Yu entered the pass and sent it to him, and used 300,000 people to transport things to the thirty days without seeing them.
as the remnant of the Chu power. Xiang Yu and Qin Shihuang had a grudge to destroy the country. He burned the palace, looted the property, and then used 330,000 people to rob the tomb. The gold and silver property was transported for 30 days but it was not completed. This is a fact, but it is worth noting that he plundered the rare treasures of the Qin Mausoleum ground palace. destroyed the Terracotta Warriors pit, 18 pits and 12 were obviously burned. The Terracotta Warriors were 1,500 meters away from the underground palace.
Xiang Yu did not dig the underground palace at all. Qin Mausoleum escaped the disaster, but "Han Book" Liu Xiang Zhuan records that the sheep died, and the sheep was put into the chisel. The sheep was illuminated by the fire to ask for the sheep, and the fire burned the coffin for the fire, and the fire lasted for 90 days. According to the "Water Classic Notes on Weishui", the thief eliminated the coffin and took copper. The "Book of Jin Shilong Records" also made the tomb of Qin Shihuang, and took copper pillars to cast it as a vessel.
Qin Mausoleum was burned by the sheep? The bronze coffin was destroyed by the Kanto thief? It was dug up in the fifth generation, and even the copper pillars were recast? " Songhui wants to edit manuscripts " shows that in the early years of the Song Dynasty, 28 imperial tombs, including the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the Seventeen Tombs of Tang, have been stolen, and the damage has been severely damaged, so the Song Dynasty had to spend huge sums of money to re-bury. So many stolen deeds, has the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang been empty long ago?
The largest pre-Qin tomb, Qin Gong No. 1 has 247 robbery holes, each of which goes deep into the underground palace. The tomb of Queen Mother Xuan in the shape of the Asian imperial tomb was also robbed and fire was set off. Only one of the 318 imperial tombs in the Tang Dynasty was not stolen, while the Northern Song Dynasty tombs were all dug when the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed the country, and even the coffin was lost.
can escape the revenge of the country's destruction, it is difficult to avoid Wen Tao's army, it is difficult to avoid the Luoyang shovel of small tomb robbers, and it is impossible to avoid the 400,000 troops and explosives of warlords. Even Wu Zetian 's Qianling 's Qianling 's tumbling open, it is not uncommon if Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is robbed.
In 2002, the National 863 Archaeological Plan was launched. More than 100 top experts in the archaeological and geological circles used the most advanced remote sensing detection equipment to drill more than 50,000 small holes around the Qin Mausoleum to conduct a comprehensive observation of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum and successfully found the tunnel to the underground palace, but it was never opened. Many thieves were found on the site, but they all deviated from the direction.
The two largest thieves are only eighty or ninety centimeters in diameter and about 9 meters deep. They have not entered the underground palace. Judging from the shape, they should be tomb robbers in the Song Dynasty. Those thieves are the origin of historical records, but has not entered the core area so far.
Archaeological experts found that the interior of the mausoleum was relatively dry. Through remote sensing, it was found that the burial objects and gold and silver objects were neatly placed, and a large amount of mercury flowed in the underground palace. Experts concluded that the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang had been in more than 2,200 years and had not been destroyed. This shows that the underground palace was still the same as Qin Shihuang was buried.
.72 million people have been repairing for 38 years?
If you ask a person why the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is so magnificent, the answer is mostly: 720,000 people have been cultivated for 38 years. "Records of the Grand Historian, the Basic Annals of Qin Shihuang" clearly records that the First Emperor ascended the throne, passed through Mount Li, and merged with the world, and sent more than 700,000 people. There is a saying in "The Old Chinese": Let Prime Minister Li Si entrust 720,000 prisoners in the world to form a tomb.
Qi Shihuang ascended the throne at the age of 13 and died at the age of 51. The tomb was completed in the second year of his death. Isn’t it 38 years? The number of 720,000 workers is clear, but this is not the case in .
In 246 BC, 13-year-old Ying Zheng ascended the throne and was too young. Many major national affairs such as the planning and construction of Wangling were entrusted to Lu Buwei and others. Wangling is a national project. The site selection, planning, design and construction must be investigated in detail. Once determined, it is difficult to make large-scale changes.
Lu Buwei has a unique vision and experiences legend. He discovered and assisted King Zhuangxiang of Qin. In ten years, he became an important official of Qin from a wealthy man. He foresaw the arrival of the unified empire and set the Qin Mausoleum on the northern foot of Mount Li.
"Shui Jing Zhu" records that there is jade on the south side of Mount Li and gold on the north side of Mount Li. Qin Shihuang likes gold and beautiful jade. This is obviously a speculation from later generations. Qin Shihuang was the king of a country and likes the world. What's more, the gold and jade on Mount Li are insignificant, and Lu Buwei made the decision to choose the site. 's location on the northern foot of Mount Li is related to the funeral system at that time.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, the venerable was in the west and the humble young was in the east. Qin Shihuang's grandfather and father were both buried in Zhiyang Mausoleum District. Qin Shihuang should be buried east of Zhiyang Mausoleum. Mount Li was surrounded by the mountains and the northern foothills were open. , from the perspective of the system and Feng Shui of the royal tomb, they are very suitable.
If there is no accident, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang will be larger, with more complete facilities and more burial objects. It will be the upgraded version of the Tomb of Qin Gong No. 1. Unfortunately, the history of entering the city is beyond ordinary expectations
Ying Zheng took power at the age of 22, attacked South Korea at the age of 30, and swept the six countries in 10 years. At this time, he was wise and powerful, pragmatic and shrewd. When he took Jingzhou , he appointed 200,000 Li Xin , and mocked Wang Jian , which requires at least 600,000 troops. It can be seen that 600,000 people have already been It is to devote the whole country to the whole country. Objectively, Qin Shihuang could not mobilize manpower to build tombs. Moreover, he was determined to unify the world. Building tombs is just a routine
In 231 BC, Qin established Liyi, and Liyi served to repair tombs, protect tombs, and Feng tombs. This marked that Qin Shihuang's tombs entered the construction stage. After unification, there were Xiongnu attacks in the north, with 300,000 troops stationed on the border, and 500,000 troops to attack Baiyue in the south, 500,000 troops went straight to Lingnan, and the plank road was repaired in the southwest and the Li River was dug. army was not enough, and even criminals were used, so there were not many people to build tombs.
These achievements will last for thousands of years, sins will be in the present, and public grievances will arise everywhere. Many people hope that the death of the First Emperor, the aging Qin Shihuang, hates death the most. In the 28th year of Qin Shihuang, that is, in 219 BC, Qin Shihuang visited the world and pursued immortality. "Praying to the gods in famous mountains to prolong their lifespan." Until 212 BC, he was unable to find immortals and stepped up the construction of tombs, and died of illness in July 210 BC.
The so-called construction has been built for 38 years. The real construction should be from the establishment of Liyi in 231 BC to the exile in 209 BC. About 22 years, used 2 years more than Khufu Pyramid . It was indeed a long time, but it did not grow outrageously. There is indeed a crazy construction of
. Since 212 BC, 30,000 Liyi were moved. At the same time, more than 700,000 people were sentenced to Hidden Palace, which was divided into Afang Palace , or Lishan. Some of these more than 700,000 people were building Afang Palace for about 3 years. It was really cruel. There was not enough manpower, and all women and children were on the battlefield. family built a tomb in Mount Li for several years, and were so exhausted that they were buried casually.
"Book of Han Dynasty" is that there are tens of thousands of officials and disciples, which is a protracted ten years, which is closer to the facts. However, this grand imperial tomb built by overdrawing the people's efforts is not perfect. On the contrary, from the beginning, there was a huge hidden danger
Mountain Li is a branch of the Qin Mausoleum. The peaks are steep, the gullies are everywhere, and there are streams all year round. After heavy rain, the mountains and rocks mixed with floods and floods go straight to the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum. No matter how grand and luxurious the imperial tomb is, it is submerged. If the flood is not blocked or dredged, the cemetery cannot be constructed at all, and the location of the imperial tomb cannot be changed.
test Qin Empire intellectual intelligence, the time has come, the method is to manually build a flood control embankment , the water passes and turns around, and turn east and north. Starting from Chenjia Kiln in the west and extending to Dujia Village in the east, with a long dike of 3500 meters long and more than 40 meters wide, successfully blocking the streams and floods. After 2000, the Three Gorges Dam was only 2309 meters long, which is admirable.
The capital-like Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang
"Lüshi Chunqiu": It is a hill, it is tall as a mountain, its trees are like forests, it sets up a courtyard, palaces, and guest zoo. If the capital is
Lu Buwei believes that the mound of the tombs should be as tall as a mountain, The trees planted in the face should be as dense as forests, and the cemetery should be like a capital city. The city walls and courtyards should be planned, palaces and ancestral temples should be built, and the emperor should be highlighted. He determines the size of the tomb, the specifications of the funeral, the thickness of the coffin, and the thickness of the coffin, according to the level of noble and humbleness, Li Si was valued by Lu Buwei. The two of them had the same idea. The Qin Shihuang Mausoleum followed the basic concept of life as life and imperial power supremacy. It was high, large, many, and real, and adopted solutions that could be operated and implemented to gather the top characteristics of the royal tombs of all dynasties. allowed Qin Shihuang to enjoy real life in the underground palace.
After Qin Shihuang called himself emperor, the tomb also reappeared the political system and state system under the centralized system. As the glory and symbol of the empire, it must reflect the government function, ruling qualification, governance level and management level of the Qin Dynasty, and of course personal interests. will permanently preserve the glory and desires of his life underground
The entire northern foothills of Mount Li can express their imagination. The total area of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is 56 square kilometers, imitating the pattern of Xianyang City. The inner and outer walls are in the shape of a back-shaped wall and are built with rammed earth. The inner wall has 3,870 meters in circumference, and the outer city has four gates, and the inner city has six gates, which are laid out with two vertical axes, east and west and north and south.
There are bedrooms, inner halls and inner halls in the cemetery. The bedrooms are dedicated to the daily diet and living of the souls of the deceased. The inner halls are used for the souls of the tomb owners to have fun. There are countless burial pits in the vast underground space, and everything you can think of and realize.
Imperial Mausoleum is an vertical pit earth pit tomb with four tomb passages. The plane is in the shape of a sub-shaped character. Qin Shihuang's ancestors and fathers all had this regulation. It was only seen in the King's Tomb of the Shang Dynasty before, which is very consistent with Qin Shihuang's noble identity. The imperial tomb of the Western Han Dynasty also basically adopts this shape.
The underground palace of the pre-Qin era is underground. The depth of the underground palace of grandfather and father is 26 meters. Qin Shihuang's underground palace must be deeper. Sima Qian says: It is so deep that it is too deep to dig any more. How many meters is it underground? How many meters did Qin Shihuang dig to be satisfied?
Some people speculate that it is 500-1,000 meters underground. At first glance, it is very consistent with the imagination of the emperor throughout the ages, but it does not meet the construction conditions. This is not because Qin Shihuang does not want it, but because the groundwater will flow backwards. Weihe water will soak the coffin, and it will be soaked into pieces in a few years. You can't let the emperor swim underground, right?
37 years in Qin Shihuang, the last year of his life, he still wanted to dig down. Li Si made a comment and spent so much effort, and he had already reached the limit. It was almost impossible to build it. It was not suitable to re-select a site and dig again. Qin Shihuang then agreed: three hundred feet away, and could not dig down, so the area of the underground palace was expanded by 700 square meters.
Finally, the underground palace of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is 30 meters underground, with a depth of ten floors, which is very technically tested. There are 6 sand layers there, of which 3 are thicker water filter layers, and groundwater will continue to surge, also known as Sanquan. Another huge challenge in construction is: how to penetrate Sanquan?
Today's anti-seepage measures, the Qin Mausoleum underground palace 2,200 years ago had been used. Qin Dynasty craftsmen built a 17-meter thick blue paste mud around the underground palace and covered it with 21-meter thick loess. This was equivalent to building a cement dam nearly 40-meter near 30 meters underground. After this operation, the underground palace was solid, but the craftsmen dared not relax. The underground palace of the Qin King of all dynasties was made of wooden structures. The underground palace of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum was composed of bluestone that was more than 5 meters thick, while the underground palace was 170 meters long, 145 meters wide, and 30 meters high. What is puzzling is how the Qin Dynasty craftsmen built such a large span of stone? Moreover, after more than two thousand years, neither water nor collapsed?
You should know that Gongqian technology only matured in the late Western Han Dynasty!
Two-story platform is generally built in Qin tombs, but Qin Shihuang Mausoleum has 9 floors, 9 is the highest, which is the most numerous. In addition to the underground palace, there is also a huge rammed earth building in the shape of an inverted pyramid. The bottom is 500 meters, which is exactly the 95th emperor. The most noble person can only be the emperor, and the bottom is the tomb chamber. is 80 meters long, 50 meters wide, and 15 meters high, which is equivalent to a football field.
The seal of the tomb makes the tomb look tall and domineering. The ancestor Zhiyang Mausoleum was only more than ten meters in size. The seal of the Qin Mausoleum was covered with buckets, more than 40 meters high and 14 stories high. The plants and trees on it were lush and green, integrating with Mount Li. The Qin Shihuang Mausoleum was unprecedented and there were no one after that. The types, scale, quantity and quality of the burial objects were shocking.
What did Qin Shihuang buried with him?
As an eternal emperor who controls the world, creates the emperor system, and establishes great achievements, Qin Shihuang will not stuff the tomb with golden cakes and beautiful jade like Haihunhou , nor will he bring a lot of food and clothing like Mrs. Xin Zhui. Of course, these will all be there, but it is not the point. What Qin Shihuang cares about the most is the world.
is limited to technology and space. Qin Shihuang cannot command thousands of troops to build the capital of Xianyang and build great mountains and rivers like on the ground. However, he will express his control, imagination and simulation of the underground kingdom by building realistic objects, and hope it will remain eternal.
Carriages and horses are the most important content of the pre-Qin royal tombs. The number and specifications represent the status and level of the tomb owner. According to the system, the emperor buried six horses, but Qin Shihuang buried two stable pits. Shangjiao Village was a small stable pit, with one horse buried alive in each pit. There were about three or four hundred horses. in the west of the inner city wall. There were large stable pits. After killing, it was buried. Three horses were placed in a wooden coffin. The dense had hundreds of
Ancient emperors had a special hunting ground. Qin Shihuang simply put rare birds and strange birds. The beast was buried. On the south side of the west gate of the outer city wall, within 80x25 meters, there were 31 pits. Each pit was placed with a tile coffin containing a precious animal or avian bone. The number of deer and muffin was the largest. There were some fun and some food. In the north of the outer city, Qin Shihuang built a 300-square-meter tomb for animals. There were tomb passages, main chambers and corridors. It can be seen that it was true love. The earthen wall separated 8 small rooms, and there were bones of chickens, birds, dogs, sheep, dogs, and turtles. There may be badgers, fish, and more than 10 kinds of birds, beasts and seafood, which were collected in one room. It has never been seen in the pre-Qin archaeology. shows the complex and vigorous tastes of Qin Shihuang.
The most heartbreaking thing is that 99 concubines are buried with their tombs, with their bones messy and even scattered in the passages, with fatal injuries on the remains. They were killed by force. The emperor died, and the women who belonged to him were buried with them. Many of them were buried with them. In a hurry, many people were executed on the tomb passage, just like slaughtering horses and sheep.
And the figurines of the Hundred Opera allowed later generations to see the other side of Qin Shihuang. The Iron Blood Emperor understands music and likes music. 260 small objects of silver, copper and bone were unearthed from the pit. They were accessories of string instruments . Silver fake nails were tools for playing piano and serpent. It was a band
. The popular competitive sports in the Qin and Han Dynasties were carrying tripods. There were also figurines in the figurines, which were also made in the figurines, made in the shape of a holder, made in the shape of a rod skill, and made in the pre-performance pre-performance postures. There was also a figurine bare-foot, fat and tall, like the strongman wrestling .
Surprisingly, there was a pottery figurine with only a short skirt around the waist and naked all over the body. There were 8 postures, and there were even sitting on the ground with legs stretched forward, and the upper body was straightened and the knees were on the ground. You know, before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the pants had no crotch, and these postures were really dangerous, and Qin Shihuang's hobbies were a bit special.
Interestingly, the figurines of the hundred opera are as big as real people, and are hard and firm, and can withstand the vicissitudes of time. Qin Shihuang most longed for eternity before his death. He also made a river channel with green paste mud, and placed 46 bronze waterfowls in a staggered manner, including swans, cranes, and wild geese. is no different from the real one.
Also real is the stone armor pit, which is as big as the real thing. The armor sheet is wrapped with copper wire, and each piece weighs 15kg. Compared with leather, iron and bronze, stone is more labor-intensive, but Qin Shihuang likes it.
What surprised the world in the burial pit is the Terracotta Warriors Pit. The late figures of the Spring and Autumn were mostly wood, and only a few dozen centimeters after the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors were 1.7-2 meters tall, powerful, strong and burly, and none of them had the same face. It is very likely that they were made of a team of elite soldiers as the model.
I want to feel the fierceness and cruelty of the battle between thousands of troops. Generally, emperors put at most a few horses and made dozens of dolls. Qin Shihuang put a military formation, with more than 8,000 mercenaries, nearly 2 meters high and weighing 300 kilograms, which can better interpret the majesty and mighty of the Qin army. Of course, it was also more luxurious. At that time, there was no assembly line and it was purely handmade. What is more luxurious is that the Terracotta Warriors are painted with paint. Paint was a luxury in ancient times. It took 6 years to harvest the tuna tree species. One tuna warrior needs 25 tuna trees to paint. ,000 tuna trees are all painted, and 200,000 tuna trees are needed. Only Qin Shihuang dares to be so luxurious
Terracotta Warriors are placed on the east side of the tomb, which not only shows the style of the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, but also the defensive armed forces of the Netherworld. Pit No. 1 is a military formation, with light and heavy infantry, chariots , and intermediate military officers. They are the main force of attacks mixed with chariots and cavalry. The three rows in front are archers, and the 38th platoons of infantry are behind. The soldiers on both sides are responsible for monitoring the enemy situation.Pit No.
is a military camp, with the front row being crossbowmen, followed by knights, and on the right is a 64 chariot platoon. Each chariot is pulled by 4 horses, with 3 soldiers on it, namely riders, archers, melee soldiers, and finally multiple rows of infantry. Pit No. 3 is the command center, and the commander is even tall and mighty, with thousands of terracotta figurines facing east, which is the direction of the battle.
When fighting, the front row of crossbowmen took the lead in attacking. With a command, tens of millions of arrows were fired at once. Then the infantry and cavalry launched together. The infantry attacked head-on, and the chariots and cavalry surrounded the two wings. This formation of was invincible when destroying the six kingdoms
Of course, there was also a civil servant pit covering an area of 480 square meters. Qin Shihuang used 10 years to unify the world. In fact, he had made great achievements in governing the world. He was not just cruel and violent, but on the contrary, he was able to command the ministers with superb skills and the level of governing the country was also top-notch, but he took too much steps and did not consider the survival of the people.
The golden geese flying out of the underground palace
What is more amazing than the Terracotta Warriors is copper carriage and horse . The casting of copper carriages is more technical. The bronze carriage buried in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period is 13 cm long, 11 cm wide, 9 cm high, with two wheels at the bottom behind, two small wheels under the foot, and a villain guards the front door, the door and lid can be opened and closed, and the wheels can be rotated. , don't think it's small, but the two painted copper chariots and horses unearthed from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang have highly perfect power performance, but their length, width and height are 1/2 of the real chariots and horses. No. 1 has a length of 2.25 meters and a width of 1.52 meters. The main body is bronze. Some components are made of gold and silver. Whether it is material selection or production process, they are far beyond people's imagination of chariots and horses in the Qin Dynasty.
After the real car was reduced by half, car No. 1 still weighed 1061 kilograms, car No. 2 weighed 1241 kilograms, car No. 2 used 3462 parts, the large one was 260 cm long, the short one was less than 1 cm short, and the interface was as many as 3780. The whole car had no splicing or welding. It was made and formed at one time, with a thinnest area of 1 mm and a thickest place of 4 mm. is a miracle in the history of metallurgy
But these two cars were the escorts and concubines, not Qin Shihuang's cars The horse, Qin Shihuang's car was 81 car, the small car was 36 car, and the car specifications were 6 horses. The local official Liu Bang couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the carriage and horses on a tour. It can be imagined that the majesty of the emperor's convoy and the exquisiteness of the carriage and horses were
Even the nobles of the Chu State and Xiang Yu who had seen the large formation were inspired to be proud. The little official who lived in the area specially recorded the winter tour of the Shihuang and brought it to the tomb to bury it. This made people even more curious about the underground palace that had not yet been opened. Are there two taller and more luxurious imperial chariots and horses inside? Of course, there is, and at least it is based on bronze as the main body and gold and silver as accessories. It is 1:1 size, which brings the most exquisite craftsmanship to walk and run. What is more likely is that Qin Shihuang brought his used carriages and horses directly into the tomb. Others cannot touch the things he used. Even his son Hu Hai
There is only one tomb in Mount Li. Qin Shihuang is the only one in the underground palace. Others are not worthy of getting close to him. The 4,000 square meters underground palace is his own territory. Others have weapons, chime library, bronze tripod library, clothing library, library, medical library..., Qin Shihuang will have it, and it is more and better.
It can be imagined that the thinnest and most beautiful clothes, the first dragon robe and dragon chaise in history, the first coin of the Qin Empire, a set of large chimes, disappearing classics, the sharpest sword, the largest bronze tripod, the most clever ornament, the so-called elixir of immortality, the confiscated jade seals of various countries, the treasures of the six countries transported back, the unified map...
Will the First Emperor move the court into the underground palace? It's possible.
"Records of the Grand Historian" sighed: All officials in the palace and the strange weapons are migrant, and " Han Shu " sighed: The treasures are lust, the changes of machinery, the beauty of coffins, and the prosperity of palaces are invincible.
How many rare treasures are there in the underground palace? There is no documentary record, but reasonable speculation can be made.The only imperial tomb that has not been stolen is the Qian Mausoleum. When Li Zhi died, one-third of the finances of the Tang Dynasty were buried in him. When Wu Zetian died, one-third of the finances of the Great Zhou Dynasty were buried again.
The legendary emperor always has the same idea. Qin Shihuang believed that the three emperors had surpassed the five emperors. With his luxurious and domineering spirit, may also be buried in Daqin 's wealth.
There were two emperors buried in Qianling, the underground palace area is 2700-5500 cubic meters. Calculated as a quarter of the burial objects, the volume should be 700 cubic meters, and the cultural relics should be at least 500 tons. Qin Shihuang's underground palace area is 4000 square meters and is 15 meters high. How many tons of treasures are there? I dare not think about
Not to mention anything else, just a golden duck geese made the world make a series of stories. This thing is indeed recorded in "Book of Han", but in the Tang Dynasty, it became Xiang Yu's grave digging. The golden geese flew out and were captured. In the Song Dynasty, a group of golden geese flew out from the underground palace of Qin Mausoleum and played on the beach. Someone came online and found that it was real Golden Bird .
Later, it became even more magical. The golden geese flew south. After hundreds of years, during the Three Kingdoms, someone judged from the words on the golden geese from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. The editularity and wonderfulness became more and more bizarre and wonderful. Too many people want to know what rare treasures are in the underground palace. How magical are they?
The flowing mercury way
It is impossible to verify whether the golden geese are true or false, but everyone knows that there is a mercury way in the underground palace, "mercury is the river", "mercury is the river", "mercury is the sea of rivers", "records of the Grand Historian", "Han Shu" and "Shui Jing Zhu" all records that a 4,000-square-meter underground palace is made into a river at least 10 cm deep. Could it be that there are dozens or hundreds of tons of mercury in the underground palace?
You should know that in 1950, China's mercury production was 3 tons. The Song Dynasty's mercury refining efficiency was much higher than that of the Qin Dynasty. It was only 3,400 kilograms per year. Moreover, it was the Qin Dynasty. Even if Qin Shihuang had the sponsorship of Ba Widow Qing, he would not get hundreds of tons. It was impossible for a few tons. No matter how luxurious Qin Shihuang was, he would not pour mercury directly on the ground. Could it be that the coffin and burial objects were soaked in mercury?
can be recorded in authoritative historical records that there is indeed a mercury in the underground palace of Qin Shihuang, which simulates rivers and seas, and flows slowly and shines. Moreover, the 863 plan in 2002 has confirmed that there is obvious strong mercury abnormality in the mound, and it is foreign mercury, not mercury in the half-body of the seal, which shows that there is really a large amount of mercury deep in the underground palace.
Many historical materials and modern surveys have confirmed that there is indeed a large amount of mercury in the underground palace, but the Qin Dynasty really couldn't get a few tons of mercury. What's going on?
Use mercury as the river and sea to be called the geography of the rivers and seas, Southern Tang Liezu Liezu Liewen The back room of the tomb of Li Bing , the ground is engraved with curved lines to symbolize the rivers, the tomb of King Wu Helu and Duke Huan of Qi uses mercury as a pool, symbolizing the great mountains and rivers of rule. Qin Shihuang was the emperor, so he naturally had to upgrade to another level. He used mercury as the rivers and seas to create a magnificent momentum. The amount must be very large, but the emperor's luxury rose.
Mercury is a silver-white liquid metal, which does not flow like flow, shining and looks very beautiful. The sparkling mercury does not require much complex design or high drop. The slight vibration of and the clever machinery can promote the flow of mercury. As long as the mechanical movement repeats itself, the mercury will flow continuously. The corresponding geographic corresponds to the upper astronomy. Document records: In the tomb of the First Emperor, Night Pearl is the hall, and the sun and moon pearls are hung in the hall, and the day is shining brightly. The tomb roof paintings or lines engraved with sun, moon, and star signs, and inlaid with night pearls, like a brilliant picture of stars. This has appeared in the murals of the royal family tombs. The sun, moon, and stars pictures of the First Emperor are more grand. They can also look up at the starry sky when lying in the coffin.
Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas flow beside you, and you look up and you see the dazzling stars. Such a glorious scene naturally requires candles. Candles cannot enter Qin Shihuang's eyes. What he wants is the eternal lamp. Candles made of mermaid paste as candles and whale oil can burn for 1 hour in 8 grams, and one can burn for many years.
Qin Shihuang wore a crown, a dragon robe, and auspicious clouds. He was beside him was the emperor's seal and many rare national treasures. He lay in the jade coffin. The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty used a golden jade robe, and the First Emperor used a jade coffin. Jade condensed the essence of heaven and earth, and could seal the soul of a person. It is said that it can also be anticorrosive. The outside of the jade coffin is a sarcophagus, and the outside is painted with patterns, decorated with pearls and jade, and under the illumination of the night pearls, the flowing light is overflowing
The outermost part is the yellow intestine topic. That was the privilege of the emperors in the Qin and Han dynasties. Qin Shihuang would definitely use it, and it was the top-notch one. The top-notch yellow-core cypress wood was made into a huge coffin without a nail but it was extremely firm. Qin Jinggong 's set used 680 hundred-year-old cypress wood , with a length of more than 5 meters and more than 7 meters. The alloy made of lead, iron and tin was injected into iron, just like a copper wall, iron wall
Will Qin Shihuang use 5 meters and 9 meters, which is in line with the meaning of the Supreme Nine Five to create a larger and more luxurious yellow intestine combo? It is possible that such a legendary emperor as
, and so many treasures, make people want to find out, but Emperor Wanli was teaching the lessons in the Ding Mausoleum. The country did not advocate excavation of imperial tombs. The huge mound of seals was dug to level the scenery, and it was difficult to build an archaeological greenhouse with a span of 500 meters. Many cultural relics were not protected in time, and they would turn smoke and ash. The hidden weapons of the mechanism were not able to prevent them, so it was difficult to enter the underground palace. Even if the mercury was highly toxic, it might cause life.
Imagine how many years it would take to excavate the mound of 40 meters high? How many years will it take to dig 30 meters underground? Deep in the underground palace? Digging other tombs is calculated by the time of day, and Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum is calculated by the year. No one knows what the secrets are in the mound of earth are, so they can only clean it up little by little. Finally, they are cleaned up to the underground palace. The current technology is easy to find the entrance of the tomb passage, but opening it is definitely a difficult problem.
The first focus of preventing tomb robbery is the entrance of the tomb. There is no record in the literature, but you can refer to Qianling. Qianling Underground Palace is not on the top of the mountain, nor on the bottom of the mountain, but on the side of the mountain. I didn’t expect to play so unreasonable. In the four directions of east, west, south, north, and north, Wu Zetian chose it to be south of the North Peak. It is impossible to find the tomb robbers and the army cannot open it.
What will happen if it is to open the Qin Mausoleum
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao entered Chang'an City and sent 400,000 troops to dig Qianling Mausoleum. He believed that the west side of the main peak was the entrance of the tomb passage. He dug out a deep trench of more than 40 meters, but no entrance was found. In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Qianling Mausoleum was targeted by Wen Tao, a notorious tomb robber in history. Qianling Mausoleum was difficult, so he dug up 17 imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty and then attacked Qianling.
Incredible is that Wen Tao led tens of thousands of troops to rob the tomb. As a result, the sky with light clouds suddenly became dark clouds and demonic winds rose everywhere, which happened three times in a row. This may be a warning from God. If you really dig Qianling, you might even lose your life. In the blink of an eye, the warlord Sun Dianying exploded the tomb of Cixi and took away dozens of cars of gold and silver treasures, which made Sun Lianzhong very jealous. He set his sights on Qianling and wanted to use a division to bomb the
This time, the entrance of the tomb was found. The tomb passage of Qianling was 63.1 meters long and 3.9 meters wide. More than 4,000 feldstone strips were filled up layer by layer along the slope, with a total of 39 layers. Each stone strip was chiseled with grooves, inlaid with iron slabs, and molten iron was poured between the gaps. The stone strips were welded together with the mountains. It was as solid as gold
. However, under the bombing, the stone strips were blown away, and thick smoke came out of the gap. The sky suddenly became dark, and sand and stones were flying. Seven soldiers who placed explosives suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground and died. The tomb robbery failed again.
How many tons of huge stones will be sealed with the entrance of Qin Shihuang’s tomb passage? You should know that in order to prevent seepage, a 40-meter-wide cement dam was built underground. Even if you remove the huge rock, there may be poisonous smoke, poisonous fire, and poisonous arrows behind it. No one can compete with the First Emperor. If you violate Longyan, you should be killed. What's more, you dare to steal his tomb. has all the most lethal weapons.
The imperial tomb of the Han Dynasty: First, close the sword house, set up the night dragon, Moye sword, Fuhou, set up the fire, Qin Mausoleum, there are also mercury poisonous gas, which cannot be entered at all. For the specific situation, refer to the cemetery of Qi Huan Gong:
people sent it, first got the version, second got the mercury pool, but there was no air in it. After a few days, he led the dog into it and got dozens of thin golden silkworms, pearl robes, jade boxes, and colorful military weapons were unbeatable. The skeletons were buried with people, and the bones were also in a mess. The power of the mercury pool would take a few days to enter, let alone the mercury sea . Except for gold, silver, jade, bronze, night pearls, etc., the others were suddenly exposed to the air. had decayed in a few days, and people could not even see it at all, so they could only do it outside the tomb.
When sealing the tomb, Hu Hai ordered "close the middle and outer door," indicating that there were at least three doors, the outer door was similar to a rolling shutter door, and the middle door was two movable doors, which were difficult to open. There was another offensive behind it. After it was difficult to open, it was not magnificent, but a pile of bones. Qin Ershi was worried about the leakage of treasures and the mechanism, so he buried all the craftsmen involved alive. The number of people was hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands? I dare not think that
broke through many obstacles and entered the deepest part of the underground palace. The dragon robe was oxidized so badly that the classics could not be pinched. The elixir of immortality turned into powder, and the map could not see anything clearly... The sea of mercury that I had always dreamed of evaporating was left, leaving only the traces of carvings. There was not much magical mermaid paste left. What's so strange about whale oil mixed with paraffin?
Bronze tripod, big chime bell, golden geese, jade bi, sword, jade seal... is still eye-catching, but I always feel like something is almost there. Isn’t this the upgraded version of Mingding Tomb, the intact version of Qin Gong No. 1 tomb, which is indeed high in specifications, but so many imperial tombs and royal tombs are excavated, what’s so strange about it? It’s worth spending so much effort? !
The tomb of Qin Gong No. 1 took ten years to excavate. Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum will only be longer and longer. The Emperor you see will definitely be disappointed. The 51-year-old Qin Shihuang died on the parade. It was so hot in mid-July summer that it was hard to get back to Xianyang for burial. On the way, the corpse was smelly and stinking. He put a stone (120 kilograms) of abalone, and to make the stench mess.
If you don’t have an intuitive feeling about this scene, refer to Duke Huan of Qi. After Duke Huan died, his body was parked for 67 days without anyone restraining it. It was not a few days apart from Qin Shihuang’s two months. The corpse was rotten and smelly, green-headed flies flew all over the palace, and maggots crawled out of the palace, extremely miserable.
Qin Shihuang's body was terrible when he was buried. After 2,200 years, there may only be bones left, but it will be surprising. What he saw will be pitch black. Qin Shihuang wanted to live forever in his later years. There was mercury in the "immortal medicine", and he took it for a long time.
Qin Shihuang’s three-fold coffin is definitely difficult to open. In the end, what I saw was just a black bone. I would definitely think, is this the tomb of the Emperor of the Eternal Eternal? But that's it! It's still a tomb!
Don’t insult Qin Shihuang!
