Speaking of Qin Shi Huang, many people have an impression of him"Tyrant".It is precisely because of this that there are many rumors that the terracotta warriors and horses are made of "living people".
Although this kind of rumor is cruel and even marginal, Qin Shi Huang is the emperor who unifies the world after all, and it is not impossible for such a high-ranking and powerful person to realize.
According to statistics, the number of terracotta warriors and horses has reached 8,000, and if they are burned with living people, it will be too cruel.
The question about the terracotta warriors and horses was not until 1974, when a terracotta warrior in Shaanxi cracked, and the truth about the matter finally came to light.
1974 yearIn the spring, it didn't rain in the Xi'an area for a long time, so it happenedDrought
The villagers could not go about their daily lives, so they dug a well in the ground, and when they dug down, they found a hard stone.
At first, the villagers didn't think much about it, thinking it was just an ordinary pottery, but as the excavation deepened, they were surprised to find that there was a human-like appearance under this landPottery
As the body, legs, and limbs were displayed in front of everyone, everyone realized that things should not be so simple and must be reported to the relevant departments.
Later, experts were organized to investigate the incident, and it was finally determined that these were terracotta warriors and horses built during the Qin Shi Huang period, and this army was undergroundIt has been asleep for more than two thousand years, finally appeared in the public eye.
Something so important happening in the village is bound to cause panic and curiosity among the people.
In the face of these lifelike terracotta warriors, will it be like the rumors, Qin Shi Huang burned the living and made them?
And according to historical records, after the death of the emperor, the number of people buried ranged from dozens to hundreds, while the number of those princes and nobles who were buried after their death was probably only a few dozen.
Those craftsmen who built the mausoleum are likely to becomeA victim of the family of political emperors
And in the movie "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors" directed by Zhang Yimou, the impressive plot in it is: the male protagonist sacrifices himself for love and becomes a model character of the Terracotta Army.
The visual effect expressed by this scene in the film is so shocking that some people really think that these Qin figurines really areMade of the living.
But in the face of so many terracotta warriors and horses, if they are all made of living people, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people.
Besides, how painful it is for a living person to be burned, it will certainly be on the face of the person who is burnedHideous, painfulexpressions.
However, the eyes of these unearthed terracotta figurines are bright, and there is no painful face at all.
Since the excavation of these terracotta figurines, they have become historical relics and are not allowed to be encounteredMan-made sabotageOtherwise, no one can afford to take this responsibility, even if it is illegal.
It was not until recent years, when a cracked terracotta warrior was unearthed, that the mystery of these terracotta figurines was revealed.
Archaeologists did not find human bones in the crevices during the repair process, nor did they find anything related to humans, which is enough to explain thisThe terracotta warriors are handmade with pottery, it has nothing to do with the living.
And according to the description in the text recorded in the "History of Qin",The Qin State had already abolished the "human martyrdom" system.
So Qin Shi Huang replaced the burial of the living with terracotta warriors, was it out of compassion?
Now the most evidenced theory is that the Qin people found that if they used living people for burial, then the corpse would turn into a pile of dry bones, and if they wanted to preserve it for a long time, there was a better way, that is, to replace the living with terracotta warriors.
Some archaeologists have come to the conclusion after careful identification that these terracotta warriors and horses are in accordance withThe appearance of the Great Qin soldiers.
Historical Records of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty records: (Qin Dynasty) The clothes and festival flags are all black.
After Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, he regarded black as the most noble color.
The emperor was dressed in black, the soldiers were dressed in black, and even the flag of the army was black, and the army was all black.
But when the terracotta warriors first emerged,Bright colorsAmong them, the blue and purple are eye-catching, and I can't help but ask, why did there be these two complex production processes and synthetic colors at that time?
Why do the Qin people worship black, while the terracotta warriors and horses are colorful?
This is becauseThe terracotta warriors and horses have thousands of facesIn order to show the great power style of the Qin State, the magnificent momentum and fresh clothes and angry horses are the best interpretation.
Although the terracotta toilet has been underground for thousands of years, many of the painted colors have been used for various reasonsErosion, which leads to natural shedding, which is why most of the terracotta warriors we see are grayish-brown.
The figurines are divided into a total of 4. At the beginning, these terracotta warriors and horses were neat and tidy, but with the excavation of archaeologists, they found that some of the terracotta warriors and horses in the No. 1 and No. 2 pits had no heads, some had no arms, and some had no legs ......
And was subjectedLarge-scale incinerationThere were very few remaining paintings, and even the roofs and beams were burned to ashes. All of these traces indicate that Pits 1, 2 and 3 were all subjected to a fire.
So, who exactly burned these terracotta warriors?
Hanshu and other historical books have written that Xiang Yu set fire to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, as well as ".The shepherd begged for the sheep with fire, and the fire burned his coffin"Chronicles".
This shows that a shepherd boy once burned the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang by mistake, but this is just a sentence by Liu Xiang to persuade Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty to build a luxurious mausoleum, which has the meaning of using the past to satirize the present, not necessarily a real event.
Moreover, according to the records, Xiang Yu and the shepherds both burned the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but did not mention the Terracotta Army, so these historical materials cannot be fully believed.
Who burned the terracotta warriors? What is his purpose? It's all a mystery, and more archaeological discoveries are needed to unravel it.
The terracotta warriors and horses that can be called magnificent are justThe tip of the iceberg of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi HuangNothing more.
Until now, the internal structure of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has not been thoroughly studied.
However, from the "Historical Records" and other historical records, several basic facts can be deduced.
There is an underground palace built in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and the coffin of Qin Shi Huang is located in the middle of the underground palace, surrounded by a large number of gold and silver treasures.
The palace is surrounded by various mechanisms to guard against tomb robbers.
It is similar to the complete automatic firing device arranged around the perimeter of this palace, and if someone approaches, it will trigger the mechanism, which will then endanger life, and it is precisely because of this historical record that all those who try to approach it are discouraged.
The Records of the First Emperor said that in this tomb, there are hundreds of officials in the palace, rare treasures, swords, bows and crossbows, mercury rivers, especially the mysterious "Water Milky Way", which represents the hundred views of China's mountains and rivers, according to the imaginary structure, there is quite a map of China's territory after the unification.
In addition, some strange treasures were discovered, which Qin Shi Huang builtMysterious treasuresIt is likely that these funerary objects appeared together to consolidate his rule and protect his mausoleum.
No one can escape the constraints of this natural law.
It is rumored that when Qin Shi Huang was alive, he ordered people to look for the elixir of immortality everywhere, trying to prolong his life and live longer, even if he was Qin Shi Huang, he could not break the human raceThe natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death
Maybe in the future, withScience and technology have advanced againIt will be possible for humans to enter the underground palaces, see those wonderful landforms with their own eyes, and learn about Qin Shi Huang and the mysteries of his conquest of the world.
The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was built in the third century BC and has the same meaning in other parts of the world, such as the pyramids of Egypt and the Taj Mahal of India.
It is a concrete expression of strength and conviction that has deep cultural and historical significance for future generations.
The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is not just a tomb, but more like a seed buried in fertile soil, which took root and thrived to become the monument we see today.
From the comparison, we can see that both Qin Shi Huang and the supreme rulers of other regions are almost all in the same way, in the cultural "fertile soil" of their respective fields, showing the right wayThe desire for rights
Qin Shi Huang established the first in our countryTotalitarian state, which is from ancient Chinese historySupreme Ruler
Qin Shi Huang achieved his goal of dominating the world during his lifetime, and this achievement shows that he was not as dull and cruel as people think.
Instead, in modern film and television depictions, in order to make the image of the characters more distinct, Qin Shi Huang was deliberately brutalized.
And this oneThe highly ambitious emperor made a contribution to ancient China that cannot be forgotten, I believe that everyone who goes to Xi'an to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses will think of Qin Shi Huang's great achievements at that moment.
