Many people go to Shaanxi and visit Xi 'an. They usually like to gather in places like Minjie, eat delicious food and taste all kinds of sweet, fragrant and waxy cakes and noodles. At the same time, I also like to see historical sites such as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. After all, these are really famous.

but on the whole, people who have been to Shaanxi are basically impressed by many imperial tombs and various historical sites? Stunned? .

For example, Shaanxi Huangdi Mausoleum, which is called? The first mausoleum in the world? ; Another example is Qin Mugong's tomb, which is called? Is there the first imperial tomb in the east and the Qin cemetery in the west? At that time, when this cemetery was unearthed, there was a lot of noise.

Another example is Liu Che Mausoleum, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is also considered as a big Boss figure, the largest among the Mausoleums of the Western Han Dynasty.

2. Xi' an, one of the four ancient capitals in the world

Xi' an is one of the four ancient capitals in the world, and it is also one of the capitals with the most dynasties, the longest time and the greatest influence in Chinese history.

As early as millions of years ago, there were traces of human settlements here.

In p>1957, the first museum of prehistoric settlement sites in New China was built in Xi 'an. The whole museum covers an area of about 3, square meters, and the relics unearthed here, including semi-crypt houses, pits, fences and Daweigou, which play a role in protection and flood discharge, are the original appearance of Banpo primitive social villages.

Of course, when it comes to Xi 'an, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor can't be bypassed, so it must be mentioned in detail.

in 247 BC, Qin Shihuang began to build a mausoleum for himself, and he was ambitious. Gullies are hard to fill? The mausoleum it built is comparable to a palace. For this reason, when people sit on the plane overlooking the Qin Mausoleum, they can clearly see a square cone. In this regard, it is said that some Americans call it? Loess pyramid? .

Actually, Americans are wrong. The Tomb of the First Qin Emperor is much bigger than the pyramids they imagined, even bigger than pyramid of khufu. This also shows how ambitious we ancient Xi 'an people are. Build a mausoleum, don't do it? The most in history? It seems that everyone is sorry for this hot land of Xi' an. Just pity the hard-working working people.

Third, why are there so many mausoleums in Xi 'an (Shaanxi)?

It is obviously a superstition that some people may explain it with something like geomantic omen.

The reason why there are so many mausoleums in Xi 'an (Shaanxi) is mainly caused by historical and environmental factors.

as we all know, Xi' an is the ancient capital of the 13th dynasties in ancient China, so anyone who doesn't think about it without thinking about it will definitely have more tombs in Xi' an than in other cities.

so, it is also because of this that it is normal to dig a land, turn over the soil and build a subway occasionally, if an ancient tomb is dug up.

Some people may ask, why did so many dynasties make their capital here?

This has a lot to do with climate and environment.

As we all know, Xi 'an is located in the middle of Guanzhong Plain. The earliest period? Land of abundance? In fact, it is not called Sichuan, but Guanzhong. As early as ancient times, Guanzhong area was a developed area with warm climate, fertile soil, lush forests and canals, so it was more suitable for human settlement.

in addition, more importantly, Xi' an is a very important military fortress, which is close to the Yellow River and Qinling Mountains. According to the traffic important place leading to the northwest, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and forms a natural barrier. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so many emperors like to build their capital here.

For this reason, it has become a place where many emperors settled and lived, leaving behind many tombs.
