Why isn’t Qin Shihuang’s underground palace excavated?
The reason why Qin Shihuang’s underground palace is not being excavated is on the one hand that my country is not yet mature enough to meet the requirements for excavation and good preservation of some technologies. Japan once proposed that it would work with my country to excavate Qin Shihuang’s mausoleum. One-tenth of the pro-treasure, but was directly rejected by our government. On the other hand, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang should not be opened, no matter from the perspective of national psychology, national sentiment, respect for ancestors, or even from the perspective of idealistic dragon vein Feng Shui. A Japanese reporter asked a Chinese archaeologist: "When are you going to open the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang? The whole world wants to see what is buried inside." The Chinese archaeologist immediately asked the Japanese reporter: "You Japanese When do you plan to open the tombs of Japanese emperors? "The reporter replied: "We never planned to open the emperor's tomb, and we did not want to disturb them. The Chinese scholar immediately said to him angrily: "You are unwilling to disturb your emperor, so why do we Chinese open the tombs of our emperors to disturb them?" This makes no sense! "There is another reason. Dingling is the first and only imperial tomb in the history of the Republic of China that was authorized by the State Council to be excavated in a planned, organized and automatic manner. However, after the underground palace was opened, many rare treasures were discovered. The treasure dimmed and turned to gray the moment it came into contact with the air.
The three huge red lacquered coffins made of golden nanmu were abandoned and destroyed. The bones of Emperor Wanli and his two queens were destroyed during the successive waves of the Cultural Revolution. It was regarded as a "feudal remnant" and burned to the ground. Archaeologists learned from the pain and wrote to Zhou Enlai, and finally set the "iron rule" that "the imperial mausoleum should not be moved within a hundred years".
