Qin Shihuang Mausoleum

In 210 BC, the autumn wind in Xianyang City brought a biting chill, carrying the last afterglow of the Qin Dynasty, passing by the cornices of Afang Palace, and falling on the magnificent construction site at the foot of Lishan Mountain where work was being done day and night. At this time, the Qin Shihuang Yingzheng was almost exhausted. This first emperor, who swept across the world and unified the world, single-handedly created the first centralized feudal dynasty in Chinese history. His books and carts were on the same track, and he unified weights and measures. He created great achievements through the ages, but he could not escape the fate of life, old age, illness and death. He was unwilling to overthrow his dynasty, his lifelong foundation was in vain, and he was even more unwilling to have no one to protect him. Therefore, a decree was spread throughout the world, recruiting millions of people, exhausting the country's financial and material resources, and building an unprecedented underground mausoleum under Lishan Mountain - the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, an underground kingdom that carries his lifelong ambition and obsession, and is both glorious and weird. This Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is not a simple tomb, but an underground dynasty that Ying Zheng built over more than thirty years with the heaven and earth as the framework, the mountains and rivers as the context, and the layout of Xianyang, the capital of Qin Dynasty. The mausoleum covers an area of ​​tens of millions of acres, dug hundreds of feet deep underground, and built through three springs. It has astronomy on top and geography on the bottom. Mercury is used as the rivers, lakes and seas, and treasures are used as the sun, moon and stars. The palaces and pavilions are well-proportioned, the corridors are winding, and the eaves are high. Every detail replicates the prosperity and majesty of Xianyang City. Walking into the mausoleum, everything you see is glorious and majestic. The floor is paved with gold bricks, supported by jade pillars. The walls are engraved with magnificent scrolls of Qin's unification of the six kingdoms, from the thrilling scene of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, to the majestic sweep of the six kingdoms, and then to the grand scene of unifying the world.
