Why did Qin Shihuang choose the mausoleum in Lishan Mountain and when did it open?
According to the location on the map, a dragon takes off from Jiaoshan to Huashan, and Lishan is located in the position of longan. It is said that there is Long Mai in Feng Shui. Later, when some Feng Shui experts studied Feng Shui, they found that this Long Mai was the most authentic Long Mai in China.
Later generations also believe that the construction of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum here may be the original intention of Qin Shihuang himself or a former geomancer. During the excavation of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, it was found that the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was very large, covering an area of nearly 600,000 square kilometers, equivalent to the size of 78 national palaces. Comparing some sites of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, we can also infer that Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is a miniature version of Xianyang Palace.
There are many funerary objects in it. In order to prevent grave robbers from patronizing, a large number of organs were used in the process of building the imperial tomb. This is why the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor can be completely preserved. In order to better protect these cultural treasures, experts believe that they should be sealed up.
According to experts' speculation, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is large in scale and difficult to excavate. According to the current archaeological technology, it will take at least 400 years to conduct a comprehensive archaeological excavation, which is a conservative estimate. After all, in the actual excavation process, there will be various unknown situations, which will only extend this period of time. In addition, even if the excavation is successful, the existing cultural relics protection technology cannot guarantee that the cultural relics of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum will not be oxidized after excavation. The terracotta warriors and horses learned a lesson from it.
In fact, when the Terracotta Warriors were first unearthed, they all wore purple armor and battle robes. But soon, due to the oxidation and shedding of the outside air, the colors on the terracotta warriors and horses disappeared. In fact, because Guo Moruo advocated the excavation of the Dingling Mausoleum of Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which caused great losses to the archaeological community, National Cultural Heritage Administration clearly stipulated that it would not take the initiative to excavate the Mausoleum, and would pursue the modern archaeological principle of "protection first, rescue first".
