Some imperial tombs face south. Why does the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang face east from west?

Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is the largest mausoleum in China, which was built very early. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, it was even larger. 700,000 people are in service. The buildings in the tomb are filled with liquid copper, which is both solid and strong. There are statues of officials such as the prime minister of the palace in the tomb, which are arranged on both sides according to their positions. They are as precious as pearls and jade articles, as if they had seen the first emperor before his death. Some people make candles out of fish sauce and burn them in the graves like during the day.

In order to prevent digging for treasures in the future, archers made a special crossbow. If someone enters the grave, the crossbow will fire automatically. Qin Shihuang's body was buried alive. In order to prevent craftsmen from revealing secrets, the tomb door was closed and buried alive, waiting for craftsmen to leave the tomb. The imperial tomb is large in scale. The inner city is square with a circumference of 25,254 meters. The city gate is built on the east, west and north sides. The outer city is rectangular, with a circumference of 6294 meters and a door on the east wall.

Most of the tombs of emperors in China are located in the north, facing south, to show that they are the kings of the south. However, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor runs from west to east. There is a saying that Qin Shihuang could not find a way to live forever. After his death, he had to pay close attention to Dongming in order to guide the kingdom of heaven. He sent Xu Fu to the Yellow Sea to find a fairyland. He visited Jieshi in the east and Huiji in the south. But looking for fairyland chui fook didn't come back. It is useless for him to go to the East many times. He went home with hatred and died in the plain. Therefore, the eastward movement of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is the only symbol of this prominent emperor's regret.

Even as a secondary reason, this statement is inevitably untrue. There is a simple reason. The mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was built shortly before Qin Shihuang ascended the throne. It took 40 years to complete. He didn't expect that he wouldn't get the elixir of life. The only reason why Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is located in the west and facing the east is that Qin Shihuang showed his prestige and achievements in occupying the west, sweeping the six eastern countries and unifying China. He calls himself? First emperor? , think you are? The venerable three emperors and five emperors? .
