Original title: What is the relationship between Queen Mother Miyue and the Terracotta Warriors? Is she the owner of the Terracotta Warriors?
Miyue, that is, the future Queen Mother of Qin Xuan, the concubine of King Qin Huiwen, and the mother of King Qin Zhaoxiang, she looks like a great woman but has a nickname that we now look similar to A Mao Agou-Mi Ba Zi. Historically, Queen Mother Miyue of Qin Xuan was the great grandmother of Qin Shihuang.
Xuan Empress Miyue’s life was magnificent and indulgent. He controlled the government at the highest point and called the wind and rain, laying the foundation for the Qin Shihuang to unify the world. The title of empress dowager began to be seen in her, and the power of the empress dowager began from her. Miyue also has his half-elder brother Wei Ran, Yiqu Wang and other lovers, and the love affairs are recorded in history together.
From the fateful Chu State's concubine princess to Da Qin's iron-blooded queen who dominated the six countries, she listened to power and reigned in Qin for 41 years. Miyue insisted on Shang Yang's reform, insisted on reforms, and advocated national unification. She let Qin go out of civil strife and turned the weak Qin into a strong Qin. Qin really had invincible military power in her hands, so that the six countries no longer resisted. force. More than 40 years after Mi Yue passed away, Qin Shihuang unified China.
The true owner of the terracotta warriors and horses has always seemed uncontroversial-it must be Qin Shihuang. One of his biggest dreams during his lifetime was to live forever. Therefore, the people have always thought that the terracotta warriors and horses can be resurrected with Qin Shihuang as an army dispatch after his rebirth. However, with the birth of the terracotta warriors engraved with the strange words "Miyue", perhaps it is implying that "Miyue" is only They are the real masters of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses! A documentary made by CCTV in 2009 put forward a new historical viewpoint: Terracotta Warriors and Horses not only belong to Qin Shihuang, but also to the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan, which is Miyue. So will Miyue be the owner of the Terracotta Warriors?
In fact, the Queen Mother Qin Xuan in history had no power and influence in her later years. King Qin Zhao had great opinions on this mother after seizing her power. Therefore, the late Queen Mother Xuan was very miserable. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for King Qin Zhao to build a large-scale funerary tomb for the Queen Mother. Therefore, the large-scale burial tombs of terracotta warriors and horses have nothing to do with the Queen Mother.
Take a step back, if the Queen Mother Qin Xuan has a large-scale burial tomb, the terracotta warriors will not be buried. Because the Empress Dowager Xuan did not lead soldiers to fight, and was not with soldiers and horses during her lifetime, how could she be buried with terracotta warriors after her death?
The Queen Mother Xuan lives in the palace and needs someone to accompany her. The "Warring States Policy·Qin Ce" recorded that the Queen Mother loved a man named "Wei Choufu" very much and had an affair with him. Wei Choufu's name is "Ugly Fu", and "ugly" is the "ugly" of "Zichou Yinmao", not the "ugly" of "ugly". This person should be very handsome, otherwise how can the queen mother be seen?
"Warring States Policy·Qin Policy" records: The Queen Mother is ill and will die. She issued an instruction saying: "For my burial, Wei Zi must be sacrificed." Wei Choufu was very worried. Qin Chen Yongrui persuaded the Queen Mother Qin Xuan for Wei Zi, and said: "Do you think people are still conscious when they die?" The Queen Mother said, "I won't be conscious anymore." Yong Rui said: "A person who knows everything like the Queen Mother, obviously Knowing that people will not be conscious when they die, why bother to bury the living one they love and the unconscious dead together in vain? If the dead were conscious, then the king would have been angry long ago, and the queen mother would not have time to correct her mistakes. Where can I have time to love Wei Choufu privately?" The Queen Mother said: "Okay." So she revoked the order to bury Wei Choufu.
According to the records of "Warring States Policy", because the Queen Mother believed that people would lose consciousness after death, Wei Choufu was not buried with him. Of course, she will not let the terracotta warriors and horses be buried.
Also, the tomb of Empress Dowager Xuan is in Zhiyang, at the western foot of Lishan Mountain, not at the location of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. The Empress Dowager was the great grandmother of Qin Shihuang. If the tomb of the great grandmother was in the pit of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Qin Shihuang, who claimed to be "recommended for high temples and filial piety," would inevitably avoid building her own tomb here.
In the pit of Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Qin, there are about 8,000 pottery figurines and horses that are similar in size to real people and horses, as well as various other funerary objects. In the Qin Dynasty, the construction of such a large-scale burial tomb was only possible in the time of Qin Shihuang.
The Qin State went from Xianggong’s appointing Hou and Mu to dominance to Xiaogong’s appointment of Shang Yang’s reform.Really start to become stronger. When Qin Huiwen was king, he began to be called "king". King Qin Zhao called himself "West Emperor" and sent envoys to honor King Qi Mao as "Emperor of the East". Unexpectedly, King Qi Chao betrayed the covenant and allied with the princes and parliaments, sending troops to force King Qin Zhao to cancel his title. It can be seen that until the time of King Qin Zhao, Qin was still not strong enough.
After, Qin Shihuang’s grandfather, King Qin Xiaowen, had only three days to succeed, and Qin Shihuang’s father, King Qin Zhuangxiang, had only three years of succession. They did not have the strength and time to build such a huge burial tomb of terracotta warriors and horses.
The tomb of the emperor is the image project of the empire. The stronger the empire, the more magnificent the tomb of the emperor. After Qin Shihuang completed the great cause of reunification, he was able to build the Lishan Mausoleum by "the whole world sent more than 700,000 people". Han Dynasty scholar Liu Xiang said: "Since ancient times, no one has been buried in Shihuang." The pit of terracotta warriors and horses discovered today is a manifestation of the prosperity of Qin Shihuang's tomb.
The burial of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin is definitely not the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan, but only the "one emperor" Qin Shihuang. This is the conclusion. Return to Sohu, see more
