Where is the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?

6. For thousands of years, the mystery of the mausoleum has produced many magical legends and stories around the underground palace of the Qin Mausoleum. "Three Auxiliary Stories" records that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, entered the customs and took 300,000 people to plunder the Qin Tombs. During the excavation, a golden goose suddenly flew out of the tomb, and this magical flying goose kept flying south. Hundreds of years have passed. During the Three Kingdoms period, in the first year of Baoding, someone sent a golden goose to an official named Zhang Shan. He immediately judged from the words on the golden goose that it came from the first imperial tomb ... such a magical legend cast a mysterious color on the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. The hill at the foot of Mount Li is the tomb of Qin Shihuang, and the underground palace is deep and mysterious. In the north of the enclosure, there are sleeping halls and ceremonial buildings for officials to eat. There are two inner and outer walls outside the enclosure, which are 10 km long. There are hundreds of underground burial pits around the fenced land and in the east, west, south and north. The form, ritual architecture and layout of the enclosure, underground palace and inner and outer city walls of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum are different from any royal cemetery in the pre-Qin period. The mausoleum is large in scale and strange in design. The scale of the cemetery project, the number of workers and the duration are unprecedented. The first person to record the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was Sima Qian, a master historian. He left a record of 160 in Historical Records of Qin Shihuang. According to Historical Records, the mausoleum of the first emperor was "more than 50 feet high." According to the scale value at that time, its height is about115m. 196 1 year, and the height of local book is 43 meters. 1982, with the help of the soldiers of the 8383 Army Corps of Engineers, the author conducted another survey of the tomb enclosure, and the results showed that the tomb was 55.05 meters high. Later, the altitude measured by aerial survey was similar. It can be seen that the soil erosion in the past two thousand years has reduced the height of soil closure by more than half. The bottom of the shell is rectangular. It is 5 15 meters long from north to south and 485 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of nearly 250,000 square meters. The construction of the cemetery project was accompanied by Qin Shihuang's political career. When he was 13 years old and just ascended the throne of the king of Qin, the cemetery project began. The ancient emperor built a tomb before his death, which was not the initiative of Qin Shihuang. As early as the Warring States period, it has become a practice for kings to build tombs before their death. Such as "Shouling is fifteen years away" (Historical Records Zhao). There is also the tomb of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Pingshan County, which was built before his death. Qin Shihuang only advanced the time when the monarch built the mausoleum before his death to the early stage of his accession to the throne. The construction of the cemetery project was not completed until Qin Shihuang died. It took more than a year for Emperor II to succeed to the throne. Throughout the cemetery project, it can be divided into three construction stages. The initial stage of the cemetery project is 26 years from Qin Wang's accession to the throne to the unification of the whole country. At present, the design of the cemetery project and the construction of the main project have been carried out successively. Initially laid the scale and basic pattern of the cemetery. From the reunification of the whole country to the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang, these nine years were a period of large-scale construction of cemetery projects. "Historical Records" records: "With the world, the world sends more than 700,000." After nine years of large-scale construction with 654.38 million people, the main project of the cemetery was basically completed. It took more than three years from the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang to the winter in Qin Ershi, which was the last stage of the project. At this stage, it is mainly engaged in the finishing work and soil covering work of the cemetery. Although the mausoleum project lasted for 378 years, the whole project was still unfinished. A massive peasant uprising broke out that year. Chen Sheng's Ministry heard next week that Guangwu, the leader of the rebel army, led his troops to play at the water's edge less than a few kilometers away from the cemetery (now near Xingfeng, Lintong County). Facing the army besieging Xianyang, the weather-tested new emperor Qin Ershi panicked and hurriedly called his ministers to discuss the correct policy. He seemed to be driven crazy and cried to the ministers, "What can I do?" After a period of silence, Shaofu ordered Zhang Han to make a suggestion: "The thief has arrived, and many people are in Xinjiang. It is too late to send troops near the county seat. There are many people in Mount Li. Please forgive them and give them an army to attack them. " Emperor II, who was in shock, immediately catered to him and decided that Zhang Han would directly lead the spiritual army to fight back against the rebels in Zhou Wen. So far, the cemetery project that has not been completely completed has to be suspended. The designers of the Qin Mausoleum project not only carefully selected a treasure trove of geomantic omen, but also designed the overall layout of the cemetery in an ingenious way. The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is centered on a tall mound, and there are two zigzag rammed earth walls outside the mound, one on each side of the outer wall. The east gate is located on the east-west axis in the middle of the fence, and the gate is the largest. There are two doors on the north wall of the inner city, and one on each of the other three sides. In particular, the Quemen site at the south gate of the inner city still stands in the south of the tomb, which is very spectacular. Thousands of years have passed, and the towering mound of Qin Mausoleum still stands at the foot of Mount Li. At that time, the rammed earth wall inside and outside 10 km long was already incomplete. What you can see now is only a section of the residual wall of the west wall of the inner city. The magnificent ground buildings were burned down by Xiang Yu as early as 2000 years ago. On the remaining sites, archaeologists found the mausoleum building sites, which are large in scale and concentrated in the north side of Fentu and the west half of Inner City. A ground complex was also found between the inner and outer walls in the fertile northwest. Judging from the location of the three groups of houses, it seems to be a breeding official building. There are several groups of unexplored ground buildings on the north and south sides of the site, and the scale is also considerable. Before the 1960s, all speculations about the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor could only be based on documentary records and rumors. 1on March 29th, 974, when several farmers from xiyang village production team of Xiahe Brigade woke up the sleeping Terracotta Warriors, they immediately shocked the world. This amazing discovery also unveiled the corner of the mysterious veil of Qin tomb.
