Hehe, the soul of Sanqin, the journey to Xi 'an, the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and the first mausoleum of emperors in past dynasties.

In July of 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang visited the mountains for the fifth time and died in Duntai (now Pingxiang County, Hebei Province). At the age of 50, he was buried in Lishanling in September of the same year.

The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is near Xiahe Village, 5 kilometers east of Lintong County, in the north.

Qin Shihuang Mausoleum in Lintong, Shaanxi Province

Backed by Mount Li and facing the Weihe River in the south, it is grand and magnificent. When Qin Shihuang ascended the throne at the age of thirteen (247 BC), he began to build a mausoleum on Mount Li, and it was not completely completed until Qin Shihuang died in 2 10 BC. Qin Ershi Hu Hai continued to build for two years, which took 39 years. Qin Shihuang hoped that the destination after death would be a mountain like a mausoleum, so he called his cemetery "Ling", sometimes referred to as "Lishan Mountain" and called his cemetery "Lishan Garden". This system of large-scale construction of imperial tombs in advance has continued throughout the history of China. At most, more than 700,000 civilian workers were recruited to repair the Lishan cemetery. The main materials of the mausoleum were shipped from Sichuan, Hubei and other places. Mount Li is mostly earthen, and a large number of stones must be collected and transported from the mountains in Weibei. In order to prevent the river near Mount Li from rushing to the mausoleum, a large number of migrant workers were used to change the nearby north-south river course to east-west flow. The extent of wasting people and money can be imagined.

The point selected by the first emperor.

According to legend, Qin Shihuang began to choose the mausoleum at the foot of Mount Li. The picture shows the back of Mount Li, at the foot of Weihe River, beautiful jade in Lantian, south of the mountain, gold in the north, swimming in the water on the left and Bahe River on the right. Good feng shui, future generations will live forever. As soon as the tomb was opened, the people overworked and cursed, and the immortals who had practiced in Lishan for thousands of years were shocked. When the immortal saw that Qin Shihuang had chosen a longevity cave, his family's country was stable and the people suffered more. Dressed as Mr. Feng Shui, he deliberately laughed at Qin Shihuang's blindness in the cave. Qin Shihuang sent people to invite immortals into the palace. The fairy said, "The acupuncture point you chose is Lotus Point. The dustpan-shaped Mount Li looks like a giant lotus petal. But you push the water up the mountain, and just break the lotus in half, the feng shui has already run away. The mausoleum should be a few miles away from the mountain. The mausoleum is like a lotus nut. Sitting in the west facing east, it takes up enough feng shui. " Then he turned into a white crane and flew away. Qin Shihuang was very happy to see that this was the fairy's suggestion, and he also sent people to publicize it everywhere. When people heard that God was watching the acupoints for him, they cursed even more. The immortal had a dream for the grave repairer and said, "The Qinling Cave is the Mother Lotus Cave. If you repair it according to the original hole, the lotus will be in full bloom and the feng shui will take up all of it. At present, the Qin Mausoleum is located on the lotus core. When the lotus is rotten, the feng shui will be scattered. Although Qin Shihuang can unify the whole country, he only passed on the second. " Later, as the immortal said, Hu Hai II died after only three years as emperor.

Lishan malicious stone

At the foot of Mount Li, there is a big bluestone in the north of Yanjiazhai, the first imperial tomb, which is called "hard stone".

According to legend, because the stones in Lishan Mountain are too brittle, the stones in Zhu Ling were transported from the northern mountainous area of Ganquan after being mined. Many people died on the way to carry stones. A stone carrier named Shi Fu carved the word "malicious stone" of resentment on the largest bluestone. Later, this stone and the other stones around it were called "hard stone". Huang Fushi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was deeply moved by the concept of "hard stone" and wrote a sentence on it, which read: "Hard azurite, beside Lishan Mountain. ..... hair stone north mountain, according to the grave. If there is evidence, it will stand. The punishment for lewdness is tight, and manpower is useless. According to ancient legends, it is famous for its malicious name. ..... according to this stone, I will quit the future. " When the Bahe Liang Shi Bridge was built in the Yuan Dynasty, most of these malicious stones were used to build stone bridges. The big stone engraved with the words "malicious stone" and "malicious inscription" was also used as a bridge.

Underground imperial city

The cemetery is east-west, and the outer wall gate of the cemetery is open in the east, which is completely different from the general mausoleum, which shows the power of Qin Shihuang living in the west, sweeping Liuhe and dominating the world.

According to the general survey, cemeteries and burial areas extend in all directions in 15, with a total area of 56 square kilometers. The cemetery covers an area of nearly 8 square kilometers and has dual functions of inner city and outer city. The mausoleum is located in the southern half of the inner city and is barrel-shaped. It is now 76 meters high and has a square foundation. According to archaeologists, the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang should be behind the mausoleum, that is, on the west side. There are now 17 burial pits for horses, 17 tile coffins for burying rare birds and animals, and 14 clay figurines sitting in them. Lingxi also has burial tombs and burial pits. In the middle of Lingxi is a mausoleum road, with wooden and copper chariots and horses buried. There are seven burial pits and ear chambers in the north of Lingbei, and caves and tunnels lead to the tomb. There are three tunnels on the east side of the mausoleum. Outside the cemetery is a burial area. At present, there are three terracotta warriors and horses pits, 53 stables pits, 17 tombs of martyrs and 17 tombs of torturers.
