2023-02-06

The Qin Mausoleum refers to the tombs of more than 30 princes, kings and emperors built by the Qin people during the 560 years from the Qin Xiang Public State in 770 BC to the collapse of the Qin Dynasty in 206 BC. After more than 100 years of careful cultivation by several generations of archaeologists, a total of eight burial areas of Qin Mausoleum have been discovered, including Dabaozi Mountain in Lixian County, Gansu Province, Taigong Temple in Chencang District, Baoji County, Shaanxi Province, Sanyuan yuan in Fengxiang County, Baoji County, Shaanxi Province, Weicheng District, Xianyang County, Shaanxi Province, Hanyu Township, Chang'an Shenheyuan, Shaanxi Province, Hansen Village in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, and the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, Lintong County, Shaanxi Province. 25 tombs of the Duke of Qin, King and Emperor (Queen) have been confirmed, including bronze chariots and horses Tens of thousands of precious historical relics, including the Terra Cotta Warriors. In the archaeological study of the tombs of the pre-Qin Dynasty, including the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, it was found that the most tombs were excavated, the most tombs were excavated, the richest cultural relics were unearthed, and the most clear understanding of the connotation of the tombs was the first one. While the field archaeological work of the Qinling Mausoleum has made significant progress, the comprehensive research of multi-disciplinary, multi-directional and multi-angle has also achieved fruitful results. According to the latest archaeological achievements and the collation of historical documents, it is known that during the development process of more than 560 years, the Qin people have built and used ten mausoleums, including Xizhui, Ya, Yang (Xuanyangju), Yong, Xianyang, Queyang, Zhiyang, Dudong, Hansenzhai and Lishan. At present, eight sites have been found, and there are still two mausoleums, "Ya" and "Queyang", to be explored and discovered. Field archaeological data and relevant historical documents confirm that the main components or basic elements that constitute the architectural form of the Qin Mausoleum should at least include more than ten parts, such as cemetery, sealed earth, tomb, ritual architecture, accompanying burial pit, temporary burial tomb, accompanying burial tomb, garden temple official house, cemetery, road and criminal cemetery. Qinling mausoleums are generally composed of rammed earth walls or enclosed ditches, which can be divided into one, two or even three parts. They have successively experienced the evolution process from "no separation of mausoleums and cities" to "independent mausoleums"; With the evolution of the status of the monarch of the State of Qin, the tombs of the Qin Mausoleum showed a political sublimation from "middle shape" to "sub shape"; The Sleeping Tiger Land Qin is abbreviated as "the guardian of the filial piety and the sacrificing of the public grave" as "the Dian people", and the historical records such as "the five kings of Qin Huiwen, Wu, Zhao, and Yan Xiang, all made great mounds and dragons" in the Book of Han Dynasty Liu Xiang Biography "reflect the change process of the Qin Tomb from" the tomb without the grave "to" the square covering the bucket "; From "sacrificial pit", "enjoying hall" to "sleeping hall", the ritual architecture of Qin Mausoleum is not the earliest, but it is definitely the most complete series; The burial pit is a special facility for placing burial objects outside the mausoleum. It is the embodiment of the emergence of hierarchy and the concentration of social wealth in the mausoleum. Since the first mausoleum was built, Qin people have set up burial pits for chariots, horses, musical instruments, etc. To the First Emperor of Qin who was "one emperor for thousands of years", not only the number has increased dramatically, but also the content has appeared "Terra Cotta Warriors", "Terracotta Warriors", "Waterfowl Pit", "Armor Pit", etc., reflecting the new concept of tomb construction of "living as you die". The burial tombs are those buried near the tombs and cemeteries due to blood, marriage and personal attachment. The Qin Mausoleum inherited the custom of funeral by blood and marriage since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and created the "funeral cemetery" reflecting the system of the harem. The accompanying tomb is a tomb buried around the tomb according to the relationship between the monarch and his subjects and the hierarchy. As a key figure in promoting the evolution from "blood politics" to "geopolitics", Qin Shihuang's cemetery
