Recently, I re-watched the old movie "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors" starring Zhang Yimou, Gong Li, and Yu Rongguang, yes, you read that right, Zhang Yimou is the starring actor in this drama, which tells the story of the male protagonist Meng Tianfang who was sealed in the mud and resurrected from the maid and met his reincarnated lover. 
Among them is a picture of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, although you can now visit the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but the real Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has not been completely excavated, so today we will talk about why people dare not excavate the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. Known as the "Emperor of the Ages", Qin Shi Huang was keen on the way of immortality in his later years, Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng was the first emperor in China to complete the great unification, and also the first emperor of China, who created the history of the monarch for thousands of years. Ying Zheng took over the position of King of Qin at the age of thirteen, and began to govern himself at the age of twenty-one, successively overthrowing the Marquis of Changxin, Lü Buwei and others, and then quickly grasped the power of the Qin State. After that, Yingzheng reused the minister Li Si and others, and adopted a new policy of distant friendship and close attack, and the strength of the Qin State also grew rapidly. The powerful Qin state was overwhelming, and successively conquered the six countries of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, completed the great unification, and established the first unified multi-ethnic state in history - Qin. This is a feat like no other. Ying Zheng thought that he had surpassed the three emperors and the five emperors, so he called himself "the emperor". He ordered people to build the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies, attacked the Xiongnu in the north and Baiyue in the south, and established great feats. Internally, he unified writing and weights and measures, required cars to be on the same track, communicated with the water system, and abolished the feudal system instead of the county system. Therefore, it is not in vain that Yingzheng can be called "the first emperor of the ages" by later generations. 
Although Qin Shi Huang was eloquent and strategic in his early years, after the unification of the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang in his later years was no longer wise and martial, but began the so-called alchemy and cultivation of immortals, pursuing the ethereal way of immortality. Therefore, a lot of money was spent to fund Xu Fu to go to the East China Sea to seek the elixir, of course, Xu Fu's whereabouts are unknown in the end, it is said that Xu Fu arrived in Japan, and Qin Shi Huang began to pursue the arrangement of the afterlife after he could not pursue the way of immortality. How mysterious is the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which lasted 39 years?He believed that people could enjoy everything in the mausoleum after death, so he completely copied Xianyang, the capital of the city at that time, and built the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. Don't laugh, after the Qin Dynasty was overthrown, in the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, when the general Zhou Yafu was dying, his son bought hundreds of pairs of armor as funeral goods. 
It can be seen that in the context of that time, this idea of Qin Shi Huang was not too absurd. The construction of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang began in 246 B.C., employing 720,000 people, and it took 39 years to complete. The entire mausoleum was built extremely large, with a height of 55 meters and a circumference of more than 2,000 meters. The interior decoration is also very exquisite, the roof is made of metal copper, the pearl is also inlaid as the sun, moon and stars, and the mercury is poured dozens of meters deep as the lake, sea and river, which is full of all kinds of rare treasures, and the burial goods in it are countless, and there are more than 4,000 tombs and burial pits that have been discovered, among which there are the terracotta warriors and horses that we are familiar with. The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been destroyed by many people during this period, not only tomb robbers, but also the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Tang Dynasty, etc., there are rebels who rob the tombs for the treasures in the tombs, which also brings a lot of damage to this luxurious imperial mausoleum. But fortunately, we can still see this great building today, and its integrity has been preserved. 
But what we can see now is actually only the tip of the iceberg, just a few burial pits that have been excavated, and the main burial chamber where Qin Shi Huang is really buried has not been excavated. The location of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor has been determined, why is it still being excavated?I am also very curious about the answer to this question, so I consulted some information, briefly analyzed a few reasons why I dare not dig, and share it with you here. Reason 1: The huge investment also knows that the area of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is very large. Not to mention how much energy archaeologists have to put into it, but from the perspective of consumption, the amount of money required is very huge. For example, archaeology requires a large shed to be built in the tomb to prevent damage to the instruments in the tomb by sunlight and rain. 
The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang covers an area of 5625 square kilometers, just to build a shed for it, it will require a lot of materials and money. Therefore, the excavation of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang requires a lot of funds, which has become one of the reasons that hinder the continued excavation of the mausoleum. Reason 2: Damaged LandscapeIf the excavation of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang continues, then the existing sealed landscape on the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang will be damaged, but after these sealed landscapes are damaged, they are also irreparable. The underground palace of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is very deep, and it is said that the deepest part of the underground palace is even as deep as the center of the earth, if it is excavated, because the soil layer is not hard enough, it may lead to the collapse of the tomb, which will cause greater damage to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Therefore, continuing to excavate the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang may have very big drawbacks. Reason 3: Lack of technologyAlthough our country is very strong, there are still great deficiencies in some technologies. If the excavation of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang continues, the cultural relics in it have become very fragile after thousands of years, and we do not have enough technology and means to ensure the integrity of the cultural relics. 
If irreparable damage to the mausoleum is caused by backward technology, then this responsibility is not something that ordinary people can afford. Therefore, excavation is risky and must be cautious. In short, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is full of mystery, and people can't help but go to **, but we are limited by various reasons and dare not completely excavate the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. However, I believe that in the near future, with the continuous development of the times, our technology will also develop to the extent that it can be excavated, so that we can see the true face of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
