Is it true that Qin Shihuang built a mysterious water galaxy in the underground palace and died in the water galaxy?

According to historical records, it does exist, but why did Qin Shihuang choose to put 1300 tons of mercury in his mausoleum? What's the use of putting so much mercury?

First of all, it is confirmed by modern archaeological technology that the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor does contain a lot of mercury. Secondly, Qin Shihuang's statement of "sleeping in the water galaxy" is not very accurate, because the mercury in the underground palace is mainly injected in the form of creating "rivers and seas". According to the results of modern archaeology, there should not be a lot of mercury in Qin Shihuang's coffin.

Then we have to mention Qin Shihuang, who has been pursuing immortality in his later years. Although the result failed, he still didn't give up and believed that there would be a soul after death. Qin Shihuang hoped that he could still rule everything in this kingdom after his death. At this time, Baqing, the famous "Virgin", extracted a lot of mercury for his tomb, which is what we now call mercury. The most important thing is that mercury can protect people's bodies from decay after death. This also happened in time, just in the heart of Qin Shihuang.

It is speculated that the storage of mercury in the underground palace of the King of Qin is as high as100t, which is not only amazing, but also incomprehensible. With the technical level of resource exploitation and smelting at that time, how could so much mercury be produced? This has to mention a strong woman at that time: Ba Widow Qing.

Qing, who inherited the family business, can be said to be one of the richest women in Qin Shihuang's period. After her husband died, she not only abided by women's morality, but also used her own financial resources to keep one side safe. Therefore, it was affirmed by Qin Shihuang, and she was named "Zhen Fu". This also deepened the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and imperial power. Control a large number of cinnabar (mercury smelting) resources and become one of the main suppliers of mercury in the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum!

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period until the Qin Empire, there was no tradition of using mercury to preserve corpses from decay, and there was also a lack of relevant historical evidence. Qin Shihuang pursued immortality, but to be honest, did his elixir really start to use mercury as an alchemist? This is doubtful, because there is no relevant information to actually record that it was done at that time. I think it is probably a guess and guess made by later generations according to the legend of Qin Shihuang's seeking immortality, not a fact. On the contrary, more historical data prove that the use of mercury as an alchemy material mostly occurred in the later generations of the Daqin Empire.

As for whether Qin Shihuang was lying in mercury, it goes without saying. Qin Shihuang died on a cruise ship, and it was very hot between death and burial. Two or three days after his death, his body stinks and smells like abalone. It will take him at least a month to bypass Jiuyuan. I'm afraid the body has rotted beyond recognition, and I'm afraid there are only some skeletons left on Mercury.

Anyway, everyone is guessing that one day, after seeing the light of day, we may see the result.
