Why was the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor chosen to be located in Lishan Mountain? Is this a Feng Shui treasure land, or is there a golden treasure?
The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang will be located in Lishan Mountain. This is a geomantic treasure land. Today, we take a look at the Feng Shui elements behind Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum and explain the amazing structure of Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum. On this day, several young farmers from Xiyang Village, Lintong County, Shaanxi Province gathered together. They were about to start digging a well for the village. On the fifth day of construction, several young people unexpectedly discovered that the soil under their feet had turned into braised clay. When they dug, they actually unearthed a lot of pottery shards, banging them left and right. There are several pottery figurines exposed to the sun.
People in the village were surprised. Many old people thought this was the tile owner of the temple and hurriedly burned incense and prayed. However, some believe these to be plague gods. The long-term poverty in Xiyang Village is related to these plague gods. Some people even came with iron men and smashed the pottery figurines in anger. This originally peaceful small village suddenly became noisy because of a few pottery figurines, which attracted the attention of Fang Shumin, the cadre in charge of farmland water conservancy in Yanzhai Commune, Lintong County. Fang Shumin rushed to the scene. After careful investigation, he found that the pottery was probably cultural relics and not what the villagers said.
The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is located at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain. It is the first emperor's mausoleum with ingenious structure and design since the discovery of existing mausoleums in China. Among all the imperial tombs excavated so far, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is the largest. This is a square mausoleum 76 meters high, 345 meters long and 350 meters wide. It has a flat roof and a stepped waist and covers an area of 12,750 square meters. Qin Shihuang ascended the throne in 246 BC. It took him eight years to gradually gain real power and begin to conquer the Six Kingdoms. A few years later, China was unified.
Since then, China has officially entered a county-based society, and the Qin Dynasty has become the first unified multi-ethnic feudal autocratic centralized state in Chinese history. As the "eternal emperor", in addition to the achievements such as trains, books, and articles listed in textbooks, there is also a huge and mysterious Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang left to future generations. The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is located at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, 5 kilometers east of Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, China. This is the first large-scale and well-designed royal cemetery in Chinese history. The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is also one of the largest, strangest and richest imperial tombs in the world.
