The Qin Dynasty created countless glories. Why can Qin Shihuang be the first in the world?
In the west, people often compare Qin Shihuang with the Roman emperor Caesar. But it was shorter than the Roman Empire, which fell apart after Caesar's death. The Qin dynasty was not, which is why Qin Shihuang had a unique influence. Qin Shihuang not only unified China, but also created many engineering buildings that made great contributions to the future. This is the reason why he is great.
Great wall 1
After Qin unified the six countries in 22 1 BC, Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall in the north on a large scale in 32 years (2 15 BC) in order to defend the Huns. When the Great Wall was built in the north, it was demolished as the "common defense" of the vassal states.
Qin Changcheng has not yet been built, and Qi Liang's wife cried down the Great Wall and said in time that it was difficult to establish it. Although there are different opinions about Meng Jiangnu's folklore, one thing is certain: this story reproduces the sufferings and sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of laborers in the construction of the Great Wall and the great creation of the people of China.
Qin Changcheng is a treasure of our Chinese nation, a miracle of world architecture and a symbol of our splendid history and culture. Although it has been eroded into ruins by the wind and rain of history, it still condenses into a thick cultural accumulation with its majestic momentum and grandeur, and will remain in the history of Chinese civilization forever with its eternal desolation and tragic.
2. Lingqu
After the Qin Dynasty merged the six countries, Qin Shihuang ordered Tu Youyou to lead 500,000 troops south to Guangdong, and all the troops occupied a pass in Wuling and a mountain pass at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi provinces.
At first, it was resisted by local ethnic groups, and soldiers could not enter for three years, so it was difficult to transfer their salaries. After Qin Shihuang ordered Yu Shilu to be in charge of military supplies, he led soldiers and civilian workers to build artificial canals between Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River in Xing 'an to transport food. In the thirty-third year of Qin Shihuang (2 14 BC), Qin Shihuang quickly unified Lingnan.
The excavation of Lingqu communicated Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River, and opened up the north-south water channel, which provided an important guarantee for the Qin Dynasty to unify Lingnan. A large number of grain and grass are transported to Lingnan by water, and the material supply is sufficient.
In 2 14 BC, Lingqu was opened to navigation, and Qin Jun conquered Lingnan, and then three counties of Guilin, Xiang Jun and Nanhai were established, and Lingnan was formally incorporated into the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Lingqu connects the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, forming a water transport network all over East China and South China. Lingqu has a history of thousands of years, but it still plays an important role.
3. Qin Shihuang Mausoleum
The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is one of the largest, strangest and richest imperial tombs in the world. It fully shows the artistic talent of the working people of Han nationality in ancient China more than 2,000 years ago, and is the pride and precious wealth of the Chinese nation.
The construction of the cemetery project was accompanied by Qin Shihuang's political career. /kloc-when he first ascended the throne at the age of 0/3, in the first year of Qin dynasty (the first 247 years), the cemetery construction project began.
The cemetery project was built for 39 years and was not completed until the death of Qin Shihuang. Hu Hai, the second emperor, succeeded to the throne, and it took more than a year to complete the construction.
Such a magnificent imperial tomb can be said to be the eighth wonder in the world, comparable to Egyptian pyramids and ancient Greek sculptures. Only an emperor like Qin Shihuang can have such a luxurious cemetery.
4. The Way of Qin Dynasty
After Qin Shihuang unified China, he devoted all his manpower and material resources to two large-scale national defense projects, one was to build the Great Wall and the other was to "build a straight road".
Most sections of the equator were formed by the communication, connection or further expansion of the original roads of various countries during the Warring States period. Straight Road was a national defense road built by Qin Shihuang to attack and defend Huns, and made General Meng Tian lead hundreds of thousands of troops and migrant workers to assault. From Ganquan Palace to Jiuyuan County, it is "1,800 Li" long. The route is generally straight from north to south, so it is called "straight road" or "Qin straight road".
Qin Zhi Road is a 700-kilometer-long and 50-meter-wide road built by working people in China with backward production tools along the mountains and desert grasslands 2,200 years ago. Moreover, it took only two and a half years to complete the tasks of route selection, route change, construction, construction of post stations and postal kiosks. Its fast speed and arduous engineering are miracles in the history of highway construction in China and even in the world!
5. Zheng Guoqu
Zheng Guoqu is a large-scale irrigation project. In 246 BC, Zheng, the king of Qin, just ascended the throne. In order to induce Qin to spend manpower and material resources on water conservancy construction, Duke Huan of Han was unable to carry out the eastward expedition and sent Zheng, a water conservancy engineer, to Qin to implement the plan of "exhausting Qin". Zheng designed and built an irrigation project for the State of Qin to introduce Jingshui into Luoyang.
During the construction process, the plan was exposed and Qin wanted to kill it. Zheng Guo said: At first, Wang Han asked me to be a spy, but the canal was built because Han Yan was several years older.
, established the eternal achievements for the qin dynasty. Qin thinks it makes sense, and asks him to continue to preside over the project. The project took about ten years to complete. Because Zheng designed and presided over the construction, people called it.
After the completion of Zheng Guoqu, great changes have taken place in agricultural production in Guanzhong, and the brine fields are irrigated with water filled with sediment. That is, irrigation with water mirror water with high sediment concentration has increased soil fertility, and agriculture has developed rapidly. Guanzhong, with scarce rainfall and barren land, has become a rich place in the world.
The role of Zheng Guoqu lies not only in its irrigation efficiency of 100, but also in its pioneering practice of diverting water from Jingxing, which has a far-reaching impact on later irrigation.
6. Qin Chi Road
Qin Shihuang unified the six countries. In the second year (220 years ago), he ordered the construction of Chidao with Xianyang as the center and leading to all parts of the country.
There are nine famous equator, including Shang Jun Road from today's Gaoling to Shang Jun (northern Shaanxi), Linjin Road from the Yellow River to Shaanxi, Dongfang Road from Hanguguan to Henan, Hebei and Shandong, Wuguan Road from today's Shangluo to the southeast, plank road from Qinling to Sichuan, west road from today's Longxian to Ningxia and Gansu, and straight road from today's Chunhua to Jiuyuan. It can be said that this is the earliest official "national highway" in China history.
Chidao is the emperor's special driveway, and ministers, people and even relatives below the emperor have no right to go. It was the most popular in Qin and Han dynasties, and it was stipulated that it was fifty paces wide and planted trees on both sides. The Chidao built by Qin Shihuang was a "horse (public) road", but now it seems to be a "rail (railway) road", so it is called "Chidao" because horses are flying on it. According to historical records, after Qin Shihuang unified China, he built a "railway network" all over the country. Accordingly, he actually built a "railway network" 2200 years ago.
7. Epang Palace
Legend has it that Ying Zheng, king of Qin, lived in Handan and fell in love with a Handan woman named Afang. After Qin Huang unified the world, he wanted to marry her, but all the ministers opposed her because she was a Zhao daughter. Epang hanged himself in order not to embarrass Ying Zheng.
In memory of the woman he loved deeply, Qin Huang named Epang Palace. After Qin Shihuang unified China, in the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang (2 12 BC), the Tianxiachao Palace was built on the west side of Longshouyuan, which was intended to become the political center of the Qin Dynasty.
. The purpose of building a palace and the basis of site selection were decided by Qin Shihuang.
Epang Palace in Qin Dynasty is not only the most magnificent palace group in Qin Dynasty, but also a masterpiece of ancient palace architecture in China, which records the history of the Chinese nation from decentralization to unity and bears the glorious memory of Chinese civilization.
During UNESCO 1992 field survey, it was confirmed that the construction scale and preservation integrity of Qin Afang Palace site ranked first among the ancient buildings in the world, and it was one of the wonders and places of interest in the world, and was known as "the first palace in the world". But in a sense, Epang Palace, which wastes people and money, is also a symbol of the demise of Qin.
No.8 Wuchi Road
Wuchi Road, also known as Gudianbo Road, is the oldest official road connecting Yunnan and the mainland, which was built to connect Sichuan, Yunnan, Han and Gudianbo people. After Qin Shihuang unified China, in order to effectively control the counties established in Yelang and Yunnan, Qin Shihuang sent General Chang Lian to lead the army to build a highway, which is the famous Wuchi Road in history.
Wuchi Road runs from southern Sichuan to Dianchi Lake via Podo (now Yibin, Sichuan) and Zhuti (now Zhaotong, Yunnan). Because this road is only five feet wide, it is called "five-foot road" in history. Although this road is narrow, it is as important as the 50-step "equator" built by Qin Shihuang in other parts of the country. It is an important commercial road between Yunnan and Sichuan. At present, the remaining length is about 350 meters, and the road width is 5 feet. The width and height of each step are different. There are dozens of horseshoe prints on the road from the upper edge of Guanhe River to the cliff. Wuchi Road, since the Qin Dynasty, has been the crossroads of Yunnan and Sichuan.
The greater the general achievement, the more controversial it is. Qin Shihuang was not only the first emperor in China, but also the most outstanding emperor in China, which played an epoch-making role. But even so, some people don't like Qin Shihuang and think he is a tyrant. It must be admitted that Qin Shihuang also had many bad things to do. But on the whole, compared with his achievements, his life is really insignificant.
