History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"More than 70 slaves and slaves were recruited to build the cemetery, which lasted for 38 years."

"Until the death of Qin Shihuang, the cemetery project had not been fully completed."

"To put it bluntly, there are a group of grave diggers in our modern age. They are called "archaeologists." They have dug many tombs of emperors and ministers. Only the tombs of the First Emperor and Her Majesty the Queen have not been excavated. , the tomb of the First Emperor was halfway opened, and I didn’t dare to go deeper.”

Wu Zetian:......

Qin Shihuang: Digging a tomb? Or did we dig it?

Liu Che: Then mine was poached too?

Cao Cao: Are you seriously ill? Why are you digging our graves? Still called a scholar?

Li Shimin: Didn’t that expose a lot of secrets?

Zhu Yuanzhang: Whoever dies without bringing something to the tomb, especially something that cannot be said, will have nothing to do for future generations!

"You are talking about the five thousand years of history of China. How do we know about it? As I said before, there are many lost books, but how do we know so many things about you now? Half of the reason is archaeological excavations."

"Those lost books, if his main tomb is found, it is possible to find those books and let us learn more culture. Although it is immoral, due to the growth of the country, many of your tombs have been razed to the ground. When When it’s being built, there’s a chance it will be excavated.”

“The only way to learn more about history is to dig.”

Qin Shihuang: You are making us uneasy even after we die! You are indeed doing the right thing. Seeing your tomb being dug up, I really don’t know what to say.

Wu Zetian: Then you can’t dig mine, so thank you very much!

"There is a lot of history that we learned about the previous dynasty from the current dynasty, and the historical facts were all written by the victors. After what happened with Li Shimin, do you think the history I have discovered in later generations is really accurate? Only your own mausoleums about The notes from my own dynasty are even more believable.”

"The main part of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is a mound about 76 meters high and about 350 meters in diameter at the base, shaped like a pyramid."

"Underneath the mound is a square wall, about 2.5 kilometers long and 2.2 kilometers wide, surrounded by four corner towers and four gate towers."

"There are many auxiliary buildings and tunnels inside the wall, the most famous of which is the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit."

"This magnificent mausoleum contains palaces and officials, strange weapons and treasures, mechanical crossbows, mercury rivers, etc. The most eye-catching one is the mysterious mercury river."

"This is also the reason why people don't dare to dig anymore, because mercury is highly toxic."

"Speaking of mercury, its component is mercury. It plays a big role in history. In the late Warring States Period, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements techniques were popular, and refining the elixir of life was one of the main raw materials."

"Even until the Qing Dynasty, there were records of Taoist priests using mercury to make elixirs. The deaths of Emperor Qin Shihuang, Li Shimin, Jiajing, and Yongzheng were all closely related to taking elixirs."

"Because I don't know much about Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, so I can only briefly talk about its magnificence."

"The construction of Afang Palace and Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum was a disaster for the people, not to mention that the people who built the mausoleum were buried alive. How could the people of Qin not hate Qin Shi Huang?"

"The First Emperor was so fond of success that he abused the power of the people."

"The First Emperor of Qin was eager for quick success and did not care about the sentiments of the people. He carried out extensive construction projects and fought in all directions for years. For his own extravagant desires, he built the Afang Palace and the Lishan Tomb near the capital, which cost more than 700,000 civilians."

“At that time, the number of people serving in the military exceeded two million, accounting for more than one-third of the prime-age men.” “Such heavy taxes and hard labor were beyond the endurance of the people.”

"The collection is excessive and the taxes are extremely heavy."

"In order to maintain huge military expenditures and engineering construction, and to satisfy his extravagant and lustful life, the First Emperor did not hesitate to impose heavy taxes on the people. There was a phenomenon across the country that "men were hard at work but lacked food and wages, and women were spinning and weaving were not enough for clothes, so they used up all the wealth in the world to provide services. "The serious situation of its politics."

"As a result, the people are in dire straits, and the people are "clothed with the clothes of cows and horses, and eat the food of dogs' mouths."

"There is also an issue in criminal law."

"Why Liu Bang learned his lesson, abolished Xing Fa, and made the people think favorably of this emperor? It was because the people were oppressed for a long time during the Qin Dynasty."

"One of the many reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty was that the laws of the Qin Dynasty valued punishment, and the cruelty of the methods was unparalleled throughout history."

"This also led to the historical development after Qin that the monarchs of successive dynasties abolished most of the cruel punishments during the Qin period."

"So people often refer to the Qin Dynasty as the "violent Qin". So how cruel were the laws of the Qin Dynasty?"

"The laws of the Qin Dynasty are world-famous for their cruelty because the Qin Dynasty still retained the system of slave exploitation and continued to make laws with heavy punishments for minor crimes."

"But it also absorbed the strengths of many schools, such as extending the criminal law system of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, adopting Li Si's suggestions, absorbing Han Feizi's Legalist thoughts, etc."

"Qin Shihuang himself was influenced by Confucianism and accepted the ideological guidance of Confucianism. At the same time, he also accepted the behavioral guidance of Legalism."

"The establishment of the Qin Dynasty marked the country's gradual transformation from a slave-based society to a feudal society. As the first feudal dynasty in history, the Qin Dynasty will naturally not completely shed the shadow of a slave-based society."

“The legal system of a slave society has a strong sense of punishment, and at the same time it is characterized by arbitrariness and cruelty.”

"Xing Quan's legal thoughts of Xia and Shang influenced kings to punish slaves wantonly. By the Western Zhou Dynasty, the behavior of punishing slaves wantonly was restrained, but it was still dominated by Xing Quan's thoughts."

"Although slaves were no longer beaten and scolded at will during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the idea of ​​"patriarchy" during this period had been deeply ingrained into the slaves' consciousness by the rulers, making them more willing to accept punishment."

"In fact, we can get a glimpse of the shadow of Confucianism through the Legalist thought of "clear virtue and careful punishment" in the Western Zhou Dynasty. At this time, the "competition of Confucianism and Legalism" has begun to take shape."

"Later during the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang further accepted the influence of Confucianism, and this ideology of "conflict and competition between Confucianism and Legalism" became even more obvious in Qin Shihuang."

"Shang Yang's revolution made the Qin Dynasty stronger and stronger, and Qin Shihuang's political status became more prominent."

"Qin Shihuang accepted Li Si's suggestion and unified weights and measures. He also unified the specifications and writing of carriages. This move was of epoch-making significance in history."

"Qin Shihuang issued a series of edicts to stabilize his political status step by step, so he also had the highest status in the formulation of laws."

"So the laws of the Qin Dynasty have the characteristics of "the law comes from the king and the king is arbitrary", which emphasizes the supreme status of the Qin rulers."
