When visiting the ancient city of Fengzhou, you can look up at the Xiaocai Temple on Douji Mountain in the opposite Qinling Mountains. I saw many temples lined up on the entire cliff, and there are cave temples embedded in the mountain, majestic, majestic and magnificent. So we decided to visit the ancient city of Fengzhou and go to Xiaocai Temple to find out. PS. For the specific content of the ancient city of Fengzhou, you can read my last travel note:There is an “abandoned” ancient city deep in the Qinling Mountains of Shaanxi. It used to be prosperous for more than 2,200 years, but now it is only lonely. As a result, while strolling in the ancient city of Fengzhou, I chatted with the local fellow and talked about the next itinerary. The fellow told us sadly: The big Buddha in Xiaocai Temple has been demolished, and there is nothing to look at inside, so there is no need to spend money to go. At that time, I thought that maybe the fellow villagers saw it every day, and I didn’t think this thousand-year-old temple was rare. It wasn’t until we finished visiting the Xiaocai Temple that we understood why the fellow villager was so sorry… Xiaofan Temple was originally an ancient grotto temple, inlaid on the cliffs of Douji Mountain in Qinling Mountains, facing Fengzhou ancient city across the Jialing River. The ancient temple was built in the Western Han Dynasty and prospered in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It has a history of more than 1,400 years. The fame of Xiaoba Temple is related to two celebrities. First, Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals of Taoism, once lived and practiced here in seclusion, and the Guolao Cave where Zhang Guolao cultivated immortals still remains in the temple; later in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong used to pray here for blessings and disasters when he avoided misfortune and history. This ancient grotto temple deep in the Qinling Mountains is well-known. The thousand-year-old ancient temple with such a profound heritage has flourished for a long time, and it has continued to this day. Xiaofan Temple is only more than 10 kilometers away from the county seat of Fengxian County, and is on the side of Provincial Highway 212, the only way from Baoji to Fengxian, so it is very famous and has many tourists. When the tourism development of Feng County is booming, this is also one of the main attractions of the county. But I didn’t expect that when we came again this time, we saw a disaster-eliminating temple that was completely different from what we imagined. Before entering the scenic spot, we noticed the signs on the side of Provincial Highway 212 and the big archway in the scenic square. The names have been changed from the original “Xiaosha Temple” to “Fengzhou Ancient City” and “Ancient Fengzhou”. The introduction to the scenic spot in the square only introduces the ancient city of Fengzhou, without mentioning the Xiaocai Temple. Passing through the archway, the square is empty. The fountain sculpture of Lotus Guanyin seen in the travel notes before seems to have been demolished. Buy a ticket to enter the scenic spot, the original 50 yuan ticket is now 25 yuan. The staff at the scenic spot told us that all halls were closed due to the epidemic. Facts have proved that not only that, but the old temple of Xiaocai Temple (Xiao Temple) that could have been visited has been closed, and Guo Lao Cave can only be viewed from a distance. The area was fenced off. The only area that tourists can reach is the Yaowang Palace. To enter the scenic spot, you need to walk across a long chain bridge across the Jialing River. At the end of the bridge, there is a straight staircase leading to a magnificent hall. On the upper left side of the hall is the cave ruins where Zhang Guolao practiced and lived in seclusion. This is also one of the most filmed places in the entire scenic spot. From the ancient city of Fengzhou, we can see a straight stone staircase from a distance. On the stone staircase is a magnificent hall with magnificent grandeur. However, when I walked closer, I discovered that this stone ladder was no longer accessible, and a large area of ​​mud-rock landslides could be seen in the area on the left (pictured below). So we walked across the suspension bridge, and we walked towards the Yaowang Palace. There are lush vegetation along the way, but there are many construction wastes everywhere, and it looks like it has not been maintained for a long time. We arrived at a scenic spot called “Shenquan of Immortality”. There was originally a waterfall rushing down the stone steps from the mountain, but unfortunately it has dried up now. If there is water, it should be quite spectacular! When I walked to the “Pharmaceutical Hall”, it seemed that the momentum was quite magnificent. Although this hall was renovated in 2008, it is said that the incense has been flourishing. The fellow said that a big Buddha was originally enshrined in it, but unfortunately it has now been demolished. When we came, the gate of the Pharmacist’s Hall was closed and we could only stroll around. As a result, in the core area of ​​the Xiaocai Temple that can only be reached by tourists, there is a scene of decay and dilapidation everywhere. Garbage and waste can be found everywhere and discarded at will. We even have the feeling of an abandoned ancient temple in the mountains. Behind the Yaowang Hall, and on the highest point of Douji Mountain, is Xiaosi, the earliest ancient temple for eliminating disasters. “Xiaosi Morning Bell” is said to be one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Fengxian County. But this time, the road through Xiaosi is closed and tourists can no longer reach it. When turning back from the original path of the Medicine King Hall, we stood on the high platform of the Hall, still amazed by the picture in front of us. Surrounded by the endless Qinling Mountains, the Jialing River flows slowly through the middle. Rows of houses in the ancient city of Fengzhou extend from the banks of the Jialing River to the foot of the Qinling Mountains, looking very magnificent. It also relieved our depressed mood. In less than an hour, we have visited all the sights of Xiaocai Temple that can be visited. Speaking from the heart, Xiaocai Temple has a profound humanistic background, and it also has a unique natural landscape. But now it is like an abandoned scenic spot (although it still holds tickets), and it is full of dilapidated scenes. In the square at the entrance of the scenic spot, it seems that the “elimination temple” is no longer mentioned, only the “Fengzhou ancient city” is mentioned. I don’t know what the next step will be for this thousand-year-old temple in the depths of the Qinling Mountains?

In the past two years, “Xi’an Night View” has been frequently searched. Especially the night scenes of the scenic spots in the Great Tang Dynasty City and Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square have transformed the ancient capital of Xi’an into Chang’an, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, attracting many tourists to check in. I have seen the night view of Xi’an, but I did not expect that I went to the small county town of Qinling and was still amazed by the night view here. Among the many small cities in the Qinling Mountains that I have walked through, this place should be the place with the most beautiful night view. I wonder if you have been there yet? It is – Fengxian. Fengxian, known as Fengzhou in ancient times, is located in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains and at the source of the Jialing River. It is a place named after the Phoenix. Although Fengxian belongs to the Guanzhong city of Baoji, it is located at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains and already belongs to the south in the geographical sense. In history, Zhongfeng County is the only place from Chang’an to Bashu. The old road, Lianyun, and Baoxie all pass through here, because it also left many cultural monuments. Coupled with the unique natural resources, tourism development is still doing well. A few years ago, I heard that the night view of Fengxian County is very beautiful. This time I came here in person and found that it is indeed worthy of praise. Like many Qinling county towns, the area of ​​Fengxian county town is not large. The county seat is located in a valley surrounded by mountains, the Jialing River flows through the middle, and residential buildings are built along both banks of the Jialing River. That is to use this section of the Jialing River that flows through the county seat, Fengxian built the 4A scenic spot Phoenix Lake. The best time to appreciate Phoenix Lake is at night. There is a large-scale waterscape, light and music show on the lake. The houses and bridges on both sides of the lake and the Qinling Mountains are also decorated with gorgeous lights. The overall combination is very beautiful. The above picture shows the Starlight Waterfall and the artificial moon. A 1 million square meter star waterfall is arranged on one of the peaks of the Qinling Mountains (data from the official introduction, haha), and there is also a round of “artificial moon”. At night, the sky is full of stars, and the scene is still very beautiful. The weather was good when we went, so there were two moons, which looked a bit buggy. However, the artificial moon is capable of moving. According to the change of cloudy and sunny, from the crescent to the full moon, the creativity is quite good. The picture below is a large fountain, which is said to be 184 meters high, once the highest in Asia (it has now been surpassed). I shot it when it was the highest. After dinner, we felt very comfortable when we strolled along the banks of Phoenix Lake. The spring breeze came with a little moisture, and the dazzling lights on both sides of the strait could not help but take out the camera to take pictures. When we came, the local villager in Fengxian told us that because the Jialing River was in high water, the waterscape music and light show was not sure whether it would be performed. We strolled around the county town, took a look at the 184-meter high spray, and found that there was no follow-up performance, so we went back to the hotel. I thought I was sorry to miss it, but I didn’t expect that at 9pm, the performance would start as usual. And we live next to Phoenix Lake, and the hotel just happened to be able to see the scene of the performance, so we took a small bench and sat in the hotel to watch the entire water curtain show. The effect is really amazing! There is a sculpture of a phoenix spreading its wings on the water of Phoenix Lake. From the sculpture to the covered bridge at the back, it becomes the core area of ​​the entire water curtain show. With the music, the water surface changes into different colors of phoenix, which fits perfectly with the theme of “Colorful Feng County”. After the light show, the fountain started, and the entire lake surface would finally spray up, swinging with the music, and the scene was quite shocking. Among the many counties in the Qinling Mountains, Fengxian’s tourism development started relatively early. The slogan at that time was “The Most Beautiful Small Town in Qinling”, of course “the most” is not easy to say, but the night view of this county town is still quite beautiful. Visiting the surrounding attractions during the day, and seeing a stunning light show at night when you return to the county town, it feels quite comfortable. If you have the opportunity to come to Fengxian County, it is recommended to live in a homestay next to Phoenix Lake, find a room with a lake view, and lie down in the house to see the panoramic view. The experience is super good. If you want to learn more about popular and fun tourist destinations, you are welcome to pay attention to “Xiaoyu’s Travel Diary”.

Today, the area around the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, which is sparsely populated, is still an economically backward area. So when I took a green train and crossed the high mountains of the Qinling Mountains to the junction of the three provinces of Shaan, Gansu and Sichuan, I realized that there was an ancient city that had been prosperous for thousands of years. It is the ancient city of Fengzhou. Before the “May Day” holiday, I went for a slow trip to Qinling. Departing from Xi’an, take a green leather train along the Baocheng Railway all the way south to Fengxian, Baoji. The Baocheng Railway is a traffic artery connecting the Great Northwest and the Great Southwest, and it is also the first electrified railway in my country. The section from Baoji Station to Fengxian Station is the most difficult and dangerous section of the entire Baocheng Railway. Along the way, it passes through the Qinling tunnel group and the scenery is amazing. It also makes me sigh the vastness of the Qinling Mountains and the hardships of the Baocheng Railway project. Arrive at the previous station in Fengxian, passing by the “Fengzhou” station. A friend who has been to Fengxian told me that Fengzhou is the old county seat of Fengxian, and it was also an ancient city with a long history. But now it is “downgraded” into a village, and not many people know it. So when we returned, we deliberately came to the ancient city of Fengzhou, looking for the imprint of time in this “abandoned” thousand-year-old city… The history of the ancient city of Fengzhou can be traced back to the establishment of the “Gudao County” in the early Qin Dynasty. In 1951, the county government moved from Fengzhou to Shuangshipu Town. Despite military disputes and dynasties, Fengzhou has always been the seat of the state, county, and county. Historically, it has governed the Guangyuan area of ​​Sichuan and southeastern Gansu, and has been the political, economic, and cultural center of the region for more than 2,200 years. After the relocation of the county seat in 1951, this thousand-year-old city declined to its lowest point in history-becoming an administrative village in Fengzhou Town. The location of the ancient city of Fengzhou can be described as “by the mountain and by the water”. The first picture in the article was taken by me standing in the scenic spot of Xiaocai Temple opposite the ancient city of Fengzhou. From a high place, you can clearly see that this thousand-year-old city is surrounded by the peaks of the Qinling Mountains, and the Jialing River flows slowly from the side…Houses lined up to the north of the Qinling Phoenix Ridge, and several sections of Fengzhou’s soil can be seen on the west. Ruins of the city wall. Today, the Provincial Highway 212 and the Baocheng Railway “sandwich” Fengzhou between the north and the south; in ancient times, this was the place where Baoxie Road, Lianyun Road and the old road leading to Sichuan and Tianshui in Gansu must pass. In the depths of the Qinling Mountains, the thousand-year-old city that connects Shaan, Gansu and Sichuan seems to be blocked from traffic. According to the “Fengxian County Chronicles”, after the opening of the plank road across the Qinling Mountains, merchants from north to south gathered here, and more and more inns and restaurants in Fengzhou City. In the early years of the Republic of China, Fengzhou City had more than ten large business houses, silver shops, and silver shops, more than ten grocery and cloth shops, and oil shops, hotels, and dye shops. Business was booming. Dongguan was particularly prosperous, and the north-south travels were particularly prosperous. The merchants live here, and inns and inns are often full.” So, what is left in Fengzhou today? From the county seat of Fengxian County, take the bus No. 6 and get off at Xiaocai Temple Station, and you can see that the cliffs of the majestic Douji Mountain are “inlaid” with many splendid Buddhist temples. The former Fengzhou ancient city is directly opposite to Xiaocai Temple. We randomly found an alley and walked into it. At the end of the alley is the Qinling Phoenix Ridge, and the back is the Qinling Douji Mountain. Looking up, I really feel that this is an ancient city hidden in the arms of the Qinling Mountains. Although Fengzhou is now downgraded to a village, its scale is much larger than I thought. The overall layout of the village is like a chessboard with many lanes. We walked around as we wanted, and we also encountered many old houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The architectural style of residential buildings in Fengzhou is different from that of southern Shaanxi, but somewhat similar to the style of Guanzhong courtyard. However, due to land reform and other reasons, although many old houses can be seen as a courtyard layout, they are no longer owned by one household, but are divided into several households. And there are more old houses, some of them have become dilapidated houses, and some of them are empty and seem to be deserted. We went around Fengzhou Village in a big circle. There were no traces of the county government, Guangfo Temple, casino, smoking house, brothel, etc., which were recorded in history. Only beside the Fengzhou Memorial Hall on the east side of the village, we saw the complex The built Chenghuang Temple and Confucian Temple. You need to buy tickets to enter these two buildings. After a glance at the brand new exterior walls, we left. Follow the village to the north, and you can walk to the Guangcheng Railway. This is the highest part of the village, and originally there were ruins of the city wall. Probably because of the construction of the Guangcheng Railway, the ruins of the ancient city wall disappeared. According to the “Fengxian County Chronicles”, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the amount of silver spent on urban construction in Fengzhou alone was 16,668 taels. The original city wall of Fengzhou City had a perimeter of four li, two feet and five feet high, and one foot and five feet wide. There were 848 brick stacks and three towers in the east, west and north. Now we can only see the ruins of the former city wall on the west side of the village. Those lonely loess walls are probably proof that the ancient city of Fengzhou was once brilliant… For a long period of time in history, the ancient city of Fengzhou was the economic and cultural center of the upper reaches of the Jialing River at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. . Nowadays, if it were not for the reminder of the signs beside Provincial Highway 212, few people would know that there is such a prosperous ancient city in the depths of the Qinling Mountains… It is said that Fengxian is already preparing to build the “Fengzhou Ancient City” and hope to make it Build a 5A scenic spot. I don’t know what it will look like when it’s goodbye? If you want to learn more about popular and fun tourist destinations, you are welcome to pay attention to “Xiaoyu’s Travel Diary”.

The tombs will be built in a place where astronomy and geography are combined, showing the superior wisdom of the ancients. In China, there are many mysterious tombs that until now remain the inexplicable mysteries of the world. And until now when they lost their grave is still a mystery that scientists want to understand because of the mysteries inside. Those tombs are all solidly built, the owner of the tomb has spent a lot of effort to set up a complex complex of tombs that when approached there are many dangers for those who want to explore them. . Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Dubbed the impregnable tomb. According to Ancient Origins, 2,200 years ago, Emperor Qin Shi Huang was the first to unify China, after the Warring States period. Qin Shi Huang constantly sent people to find the elixir of life, but was also busy in building his own tomb. A 2017 study by Chinese archaeologists, based on ancient texts, shows that China’s first emperor always wanted to live forever. Ancient documents say that local officials reported not finding the elixir of life, but the search will continue. Elsewhere there is a mysterious herb that may be effective. Tomb of Qin Shi Huang was discovered more than 40 years ago, but so far has not been excavated. In fact, the construction of Qin Shi Huang’s tomb began before he ascended the throne. When he came to power at the age of 13, he immediately built an eternal resting place. But it was only when Qin Shi Huang became emperor that the process of building the tomb was accelerated and expanded. An estimated 700,000 people were involved in the construction of the mausoleum in Shaanxi province, which took 38 years to complete. It is worth mentioning that the mausoleum was only really completed after the death of Qin Shi Huang. Today, information about the Chinese emperor’s tomb is found in the records of the historian of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian. It was a burial chamber filled with rare treasures collected from all over. Inside the place where Qin Shi Huang’s remains are located, there are also models of large and small rivers on the ground, which look real thanks to mercury. Sima Thien also mentioned the night sky sparkling with moonlight from the glowing pearls used to decorate the dome of the tomb. In order to protect the mausoleum and help the emperor rest in eternal peace, the ancients built a series of traps including bows and crossbows, automatic arrows, etc. These weapons were designed to be able to kill anyone. anyone dares to trespass. Qin Shi Huang’s son also ordered to bury the childless concubines with his father, so that he could continue with him in the afterlife. After the funeral was over, the entrance to the tomb was sealed off. The people involved in the construction work were also locked inside so that no one could reveal the secret to the outside. Finally, plants were planted on the mausoleum to form an artificial hill. It wasn’t until 2,000 years later that a group of Chinese farmers stumbled upon a terracotta warrior. Large-scale excavations revealed a 2,000-man terracotta army. But that’s just the outside of the mausoleum. Archaeologists predict as many as 8,000 terracotta statues inside the emperor’s eternal resting place, which have never been excavated. China currently has no plans to excavate the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. Because more than 2,200 years have passed, it is likely that the pitfalls are still active. Another concern is the very high levels of mercury in the planet Earth. Mercury is inherently a toxic substance that threatens human life even in very small concentrations. In addition, current technology cannot help explore the vast ancient tomb area. Just exposing the artifacts to sunlight and air is enough to destroy them completely. Experts say that recklessly excavating Qin Shi Huang’s resting place could damage the balance of the underground structure, causing unpredictable losses. That is why China has so far not ventured to open the tomb seal. Tomb of Genghis Khan Dubbed the tomb not found. Legend has it that, before his death, Genghis Khan gave orders not to let others know the location of his tomb. That’s why he performed the secret burial. This secret funeral has been effective when after nearly 800 years of history, the resting place of the Mongol emperor Genghis Khan is still shrouded in secrecy. Over hundreds of years, many expeditions, archaeologists, tens of thousands of volunteers have made many journeys to find the location of the tomb of this legendary khan, but until today Today, the tomb of Genghis Khan remains a mystery. To this day, even the exact location of the tomb of Genghis Khan is still unknown According to explorer Marco Polo, when burying Genghis Khan’s coffin, the people carrying the coffin were killed, the tomb was buried deep below, in the middle of a large land, leaving no trace. All the grave diggers were also executed. It is hypothesized that the tomb of Genghis Khan in the Otog period belonged to the town of Ordos, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Another theory is that his grave is at Lu Ban Mountain in Ningxia Autonomous Region and a third is located in Altai Mountain, north of Xinjiang. Tomb of Vo Tac Thien It is known as the tomb that cannot be dug. Wu Zetian’s Tomb is located in Liangshan in Can County, Shaanxi Province, China. Inside the tomb there are countless treasures, so it has been visited by many tomb thieves, according to historical records, a total of 17 times the tomb was stolen, and there are countless times that are not recorded. Qianling, the resting place of Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong, is located on the top of Liangshan Mountain, now becoming a famous architectural work in Qian County, Shaanxi Province, China. In which, there are 3 most prominent tomb robbers. The first time was Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty: to develop the army, Huang Chao sent an army of 400,000 people to dig the tomb of Wu Zetian, he quickly leveled half of the Liangshan mountain, but could not find it. the entrance to the tomb. The second time was the warlord Wen Tao of the Five Dynasties period, in order to complete the goal of stealing “18 tombs of the Tang Dynasty”, he also intended to dig Wu Zetian’s grave, but he constantly encountered bad weather. strange while preparing to steal the grave, scared the soldiers so much that they quickly ran away. The third time was when Sun Lien Trong during the Kuomintang sent the army to dig the grave, when he was about to go inside, 7 soldiers vomited blood and died on the spot in a very strange way. Today, the huge Tomb of Wu Zetian is visible in front of his eyes, attracting millions of visitors, but has not been excavated, so this is considered one of the most mysterious tombs in China.

This intention was originally Canh Thai’s own. His family in Quanzhou, China, was originally a lawyer. However, from childhood to adulthood, he always dreamed of becoming a knight, traveling everywhere. When he shared the idea with his wife, he received support. Since childhood, Trinh Canh Thai dreamed of becoming a knight, riding a horse to travel. They spent more than 300,000 yuan (about more than 1 billion VND) for this journey of many experiences. Before the trip, Jingtai studied the map and set up a journey of 8,000 km, starting from Xinjiang, passing through Ningxia, Gansu, Shaanxi and other places in the southeast direction and planned to reach Quan Chau to finish the journey. For nearly a year, they were able to admire many famous scenic spots throughout China. Their most memorable memory on the road is when the couple walked through the Gobi desert. They lived in this area for 3 days, without a person, without food or water. “Before the trip, many people thought my idea was crazy. However, since I was a child, I have loved swordplay novels, dreaming of riding a horse, wearing a sword, traveling around the world. This person further shared that during his time working in Tibet, he often interacted with horses. This makes him even more yearning for a life of “riding a horse against the wind”, freedom and freedom. After discussing and receiving support from his wife, they went to Y Le and spent 50,000 yuan to buy two horses, starting the journey. “I also considered starting points, including Tibet and Gansu. In the end, I felt that the horses born in the Yle valley are suitable for conquering the long distance.” Canh Thai says riding a horse is not a cheap way to travel. “In the summer, two horses would normally need 75 liters of water, but we couldn’t carry enough. Due to lack of water, at times, the couple felt helpless in the desert.” Fortunately, on the fourth day, they came across a small lake. Although it was very dirty and full of bugs, they had no choice but to drink the water in the lake. “In those days, our only support was strong will,” recalls Canh Thai. Besides, this man revealed that riding a horse is not an economical way to travel. They spent a lot of money on horses. Along the way, in addition to food, the couple also had to change their nails and have to examine them. Despite many challenges, Trinh Canh Thai and his wife still managed to finish their journey by the end of this year. This man said that in the future, when his daughter is a few years older, he will continue to roam on horseback again.

Some Chinese scientists discovered cosmetic bottles dating back to 2,700 years old, according to South China Morning Post . It’s a face cream stored in an ornate copper vase. In 2017, the team found an ice cream jar in the tomb of an aristocrat during the Spring-Autumn period (771-476 BC) in China. The grave is located at the archaeological site of Liujiawa, Chengcheng District, Shaanxi Province, Northwest China. The lotion jar was used 2,700 years ago in China. Photo: University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. “This is China’s oldest men’s cosmetic. It’s also the nation’s earliest known face cream,” said lead researcher from Shaanxi Archaeological Institute – Sun Zhanwei. China News Service . According to Zhanwei, it is not clear what occasions aristocrats in Liujiawa used the lotion. However, it is considered a valuable item and buried according to the deceased. Researchers believe that cosmetics contained in copper jars are facial whitening creams for men. “The nobility use cosmetics as a way to lead the fashion trend. Besides, it also shows their cultural identity,” explained Mr. Zhanwei. The archaeological site is located in the capital of Nhue country during the Spring and Autumn period. The tomb is said to have belonged to a noble official from time to time. After years of intricate research, scientists discover the residue inside the copper jar. It is made up of ruminant fat mixed with monohydrocalcite, used as a whitening cream. Sun Zhanwei added: “Men use cosmetics not only for the purpose of beautifying the skin, but also in relation to drastic changes in the social environment”. 5 ways to maintain a youthful look for men Healthy skin, few defects help men feel confident when meeting people.

Qin Shihuang was the first emperor of China with a history of five thousand years, unifying six vassal countries, unifying currencies, unifying documents, contributing to building the world famous Great Wall of China, and Of course, the large and large population of Qin Thuy Hoang tombs. The tomb of China’s first emperor is at the northern foot of Mount Lishan, 5 kilometers east of Lintong district, Shaanxi province, northern China. Built between 246 BC and 208 BC, spanning 39 years, this is one of the largest, most exotic and richest emperor tombs in the world – home to a multitude of treasures and mysteries, among which there are reasons for the existence of 8,000 human statues of terracotta army. Located in Shaanxi Province, China, Qin was discovered by accident in 1974. Since then, many magical legends have been aroused around this colossal colony of mausoleums. According to historical records, many different palaces were built in the Qin Mausoleum, displaying many strange treasures. A large number of burial pits and tombs of different shapes and meanings are also distributed around the Qin Mausoleum. With undeveloped technology, we can only see “the tip of the iceberg” in the Qin Shihuang mausoleum complex: There are 8000 warriors and terracotta war horses. However, that much knowledge is interesting and surprising enough for historians and archeologists. Over the past two thousand years, many grave thieves have tried to infiltrate the Qin mausoleum, but none of them succeeded. The reason is that the tomb of Tan Thuy Hoang was designed with many sophisticated underground traps during the construction process. These are the traps in the Qin Shihuang mausoleum that researchers discovered so far: First trap: Mercury During the survey, archaeologists also discovered that the concentration of mercury in the ground around the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum was actually very high. In addition to the presence of an antiseptic, these mercury are also highly toxic. The second trap: The crossbow trap Many Chinese historians have written about this sophisticated and dangerous trap in the Qin Shihuang Tomb. In the book “History” of the historian Sima Qian there is a specific record of this type of trap. He wrote: “The statue of the crossbow, possessing a fake armament of musk chi”. That means, for any intruder that destroys Qin King’s sleep, will suffer the most frightening consequences when the crossbows are stretched, ready to destroy the stranger with hundreds of sharp arrows. Image of a Qin crossbow. The famous Qin crossbow not only shoots farther than the bow and arrow, more damage, but also has a higher hit rate. This weapon is made of mulberries, the arms of the Qin crossbow are usually 60-75 cm long, 4-5 cm wide. Since the entire body of the crossbow is composed of dense leather straps, this not only enhances the structural strength of the bow’s stem, but also has excellent toughness and elasticity. Of course, whether the crossbow can function after two thousand years is not yet known. Third trap: Sand trap The tomb of Qin Shihuang is also equipped with sand traps. Once quicksand is dug by grave thieves, it can turn into a grave of their own. The quicksand traps system has been sophisticatedly “posted on the battlefield” as follows: When entering the Qin Mausoleum, tomb thieves will see “a trap”. Tomb theft will think that is the path leading to the treasure and try hard to dig. However, instead of the entrance to treasure, it was the burial ground of greedy people. Because the amount of sand in the trap will fall, burying strangers. The fourth trap: The fire trap Scenes like this will appear a lot in recent tomb theft novels, biogas and flammable substances appear in the aisle of the tomb, the tomb thief will be burned down the moment it opens.
