Why ⒌ Lishan mausoleum of election in Afghanistan

Some monarch cemetery of the Warring States period often ultimately create graphic design. Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum of construction reasonably should have the floor plans, but must first select the cemetery before the drawing. We know that Qin Shi Huang came to power in the capital Xianyang, why cemetery have to choose away from Xianyang Lishan of Azerbaijan? Check out the books, the first explanation of the problem is the author of "Waterways" of the Northern Wei Dynasty Li Tao Yuan. He said: "The First Emperor Tai Hing burial, mound tomb construction in the mountains of Li Rong, a Lam Tin, the Yin gold, jade and more that Yang, the First Emperor greedy its reputation, and thus funeral Yan" ( "Water-Wei note" ). This said, in the academic delay the passage of more than a thousand years, and is considered to be the earliest and most authoritative point of view and are confident that Mo suspect. "Waterways" single explanation seems not unreasonable on the surface, but careful aftertaste Terracotta year as a 13-year-old child can know Lantian jade dollars and is still a problem. Even if they know, then select the location of the tomb of a king probably will not follow more than mere empty names of individual will to decide. So the problem seems to be looking for answers from the time the ritual aspects and mausoleum of design intent.

First of all, the location of the tomb establish the location of the tomb of Qin monarch with previous generations are not unrelated. First Emperor and Empress of ancestors buried in the cemetery Chih Yang Linzhang area west of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang Chih-yang election in the east of Afghanistan Lishan was the ritual of the decision, because the ancient imperial tombs often live in accordance with the time before his death statue Peel, arranged vertically. "Book of Rites," "Ya," and the book records. "To the south, north, west is on." "This is the southwest corner of that Austrian, elders place too." Eastern Han Dynasty "On balance" recorded in the book to be more plain: "bit fusidic party, the elderly, the Venerable also, Venerable in the West, the young humble tomb in the East ...... husband, dead possession; Tian, ​​people diet; house, Ren Suoju at three in person, to the fierce and so should "declare that the Queen Mother Chih-yang also wants its mausoleum can be buried between her husband and son, namely" Review my husband, East point. Wu Zi ", also appears to be by the elderly in the West, East junior ranking principle. First Emperor ancestors have been ascertained are buried in the male Zhaoxiangwang Chih, Zhuangxiang Empress and declared. Since the ancestors are buried in the tomb west of Linzhang, and as the younger generation of Qin Shi Huang Chih-yang can only be buried in the east. If sidelined tomb set in the west Chih-yang, clearly contrary to the traditional ritual system. Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum be seen at the foot of Lishan Mountain option in full compliance with the younger Gutton ritual. Next, choose the location of the tomb was also related to "the mountain hills build" concept. Since about the beginning of Spring and Autumn Period, the vassal monarch after another rise of the "mountains and hills made" ethos. Many monarch is not the tomb of the mountain and the river, is the face of broad vision of the plains, and even some monarch altogether tomb built on the hill, to show the majesty of the lofty status during his lifetime and imperial power. Qin Cemetery Spring and Autumn Period is also affected by this concept, some of the "funeral Western Hills", some buried in the mausoleum near the mountain. Qin Warring States Period cemetery still inherited paradigm "mountains and hills made", and the tomb of Qin Shi Huang built in Lishan is also fully in line with the Arab traditional concept of "mountain made Hunter". It is backed by Li Shan, Wei-oriented, and this with the beautiful natural environment. Only whole Lishan Lintong County Horse amount to this section of the mountains at higher elevations, undulating mountains, several overlapping hanging scroll. About this mountain symmetrically away from the Weihe River North overlooking the go, like a huge screen stand after the beginning of the imperial tombs, standing on the top of hills looking south, this mountain and curved, located in the hills surrounded by peaks and ridges in Lishan, Lishan seamless whole.

⒍ within the tomb really do have pian

What precious funerary objects Qin palace there? For thousands of years which led to many wonderful legends. Pian underground palace is a very charming legend. "Sansuke Story" records, King Xiang Yu Chu after entry, once the excavation hole of three hundred thousand people. In their mining process, suddenly fly out from the tomb a Jin Yan, this has been a magical flying geese fly south. The passage of time over hundreds of years, to the Three Kingdoms period, (Baoding first year) made a prefect in Nichinan officials Dubbed the Shan, one day, someone brought him a Jin Yan, he immediately determine from the text on Jin Yan this is the thing from the beginning of the imperial tombs also. This magical legend has no historical basis? In recent years, some scholars with the text said: "Although this is a legend story, but explained artifacts within the Bronzes had lost to the outside, and as far south Yunnan As for Jin Yan ingenious, not only look good, but also to fly this. there are also possible, since the Spring and Autumn period, a famous craftsman Luban has been able to produce wooden geese, flying in the sky, direct flights to the city of Song.

Hundreds of years later, Qin craftsmen can produce flying Jin Yan, it is credible. "(Lun Wu Bo, Zhang Wenli" Emperor Qin Shihuang ", Shanghai People's Publishing House in March 1990) So, this really credible legends can not be trusted? Less attention to science and technology in the country in the history of China, if it years ago in 2200 can produce flying Jin Yan, the history of science and technology in this sector Shinai Shi China Science and Technology is a rare miracle. However, the metal pian of credibility does make people Nie Bahan. if careful scrutiny, will immediately see that this legend the flaws place. Imagine a metal object flying in the sky is not like a balloon kite simple and light. Since the latter is light weight, it can be by means of natural wind flying in the air, but for a metal object is , if it did not rely solely on the nature of the mechanical power of the wind, not to mention the flight to take off but even this does not solve the basic problem. How can China 2200 years ago to solve the power problem of flying metal objects it?

Further analysis, assuming that the Qin Dynasty have the ability to make flying Jin Yan, then after Jin Yan buried underground palace will automatically kept flying, the palace has been flying for nearly one thousand days and nights. When Xiang Yu ramps open underground palace, this automatic flying out of ground Jin Yan and smoothly ramps along the underground palace, and then crossed the south of Qinling mountains thousands of meters high to the far south. If this anecdote is not gossip writers concocted say, then, Jin Yan control and command system but even today's computers can not match up. So, we can say for sure that the slightest possibility of the legendary metal mausoleum no pian, Chinese people have a sense of modern science and technology should not rely on this legend.

Discrimination and Correction of this problem Jin Yan legend should end. However Furthermore ancient scholars made up the story of the legend in the history of literature there is no little clues it? Han Dynasty relevant literature, there is the account of Sima Qian and Ban Gu's "golden goose for the mallard," the text, apparently two masters recorded history is a useful yielded gold production of "mallard goose" and the ancient scholars is likely to result Kingdoms and "creation" of the story of the legend of flying geese.
