Chapter 16 Xi’an Travel Guide 4
  Seeing the admiration he received from later generations, Ying Zheng was filled with emotion.

No one told him about the loneliness in his heart, and no one understood his loneliness.

No one can understand what he did to unify the world, and everyone calls him a tyrant.

In this regard, he doesn't want to argue, and he doesn't bother to argue with others. What others think is their business. He only needs to do his own mission well, and he will not waver even if he is reviled by the people of the world.

But he didn't expect that when the world couldn't understand him, future generations more than two thousand years later would be able to understand him.

He couldn't help but feel a little relieved that at least what he did was understood by someone.

Originally, he was very dissatisfied when later generations dug out his terracotta warriors and horses, but now that he saw that later generations praised him so much, his anger dissipated a lot.

But seeing Confucianism scolding him for two thousand years made him very angry.

If it weren't for the value of Confucianism, he would have wanted to arrest those Confucian scholars and dig a hole and bury them.

But even if he wanted to use those Confucian scholars, it was impossible for him to reuse them. He just let the Confucian scholars work honestly and contribute to the development of the Qin Empire.

Confucianism: It’s over, it’s over now, Qin Shihuang will definitely cause trouble for us Confucianism. Even though we did nothing, the later Confucians blamed Qin Shihuang for this, yet they want us to take the blame.

The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty learned that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were built for them, so that their souls could have a place to go after death. They couldn't help but be deeply moved, and they were even more determined to follow His Majesty the First Emperor to the death.

The people of Qin Dynasty looked at the sky with great excitement. They were honored that their Emperor could be so praised by future generations.

Originally, I didn't understand His Majesty's actions before, but now after listening to the explanations from later generations, it turns out that their Majesty is so powerful.

People of the Six Nations: Why? This is unfair. The tyrant destroyed their country and was so cruel. Why should future generations speak for the tyrant?

Liu Bang: It’s really unexpected! I didn't expect that the cruel Ying Zheng would be so highly praised by future generations. It seems that future generations' evaluation standards for an emperor are different from what I thought. I just don't know how future generations evaluate me.

Liu Bang stared at the sky with complicated eyes, a little worried that future generations would have a bad opinion of him.

He worked hard to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and establish the Han Dynasty. Now that later generations have such a high opinion of the tyrant, it is conceivable that future generations' evaluation of him is not much better.

Li Shimin: It's really strange. Qin Shihuang has always appeared as a tyrant in history books. Why do later generations think so highly of Qin Shihuang? Do future generations value unification of the world so seriously? But there are so many dynasties that have unified the world, and yet no one in later generations holds the founding emperors in high esteem!

Great Confucian: Qin Shihuang was a tyrant, and it was appropriate to scold him. We Confucians were not wrong in scolding him.

Fu Ru: Equality between men and women? It’s simply ridiculous. How can women have the same status as men? How ridiculous, only if a tyrant doesn't abide by the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules, even scolding him is light.

[After seeing the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, we can taste Shaanxi Liangpi. After eating Liangpi, we can go to Huaqing Palace or Shaanxi History Museum in the afternoon. Tickets for the Shaanxi History Museum are very difficult to reserve. If you want to go, you must make an appointment online several days in advance. 】

[Because the Shaanxi History Museum is China’s first large-scale modern national museum, it is known as the Pearl of the Ancient Capital and the Treasure House of China. There are 762 national first-class cultural relics collected in it, and there are 18 national treasure-level cultural relics. Ordinary museums don’t even have one, and two of them are among the first batch of cultural relics banned from overseas exhibition in my country. Among Chinese museums, the Shaanxi History Museum ranks among the top. 】

[After visiting these places, we have almost finished visiting the more famous scenic spots in Xi'an, but the people are almost fat. However, the charm of Xi'an cannot be fully understood just once. 】

[Xi'an is really a city with a very profound cultural heritage, and there are many scenic spots that we have not visited yet. An ancient capital for thousands of years, I often come to Chang'an. 】

"Huaqing Palace, Huashan Mountain, Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty, and Song of Everlasting Sorrow are all worth seeing"

"As a local, I personally recommend the Bell Tower, Forest of Steles Museum, and City Wall on the first day. The next day we visited the History Museum, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Twelve Hours, and the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City. The third day includes Terracotta Warriors and Song of Everlasting Sorrow. Follow this order and you will never go in vain" 　　　 "I suggest you not to go in July and August, because I want to go"

"There is nothing interesting to see in Huaqing Palace, it is just a bathing pool for Concubine Yang"

"I heard that Yang Yuhuan had body odor, so she often bathed and put so many flower petals in order to cover up the body odor."

"The most embarrassing attraction in Xi'an is the Huaqing Palace. I spent 120 yuan on the ticket to see the bathing pit."

"Xi'an History Museum is the only museum in China with the word history, which shows its importance"

"I heard that many museum treasures are borrowed from Xi'an Museum"

"The National Museum borrowed many national treasure-level cultural relics and they have not returned them yet."

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng saw that later generations were so keen on building museums, which made him feel itchy.

He was thinking about whether to build a museum to highlight his eternal achievements in unifying the world.

He destroyed the six kingdoms, unified the world, and became the first emperor of China. Such achievements must be admired by all the subjects in the world.

It just so happened that he destroyed the Six Kingdoms and obtained a large amount of trophies from the Six Kingdoms' treasury. Some of them could be taken out and put in the museum for the world to see, so that everyone in the world would know about his great achievements.

Ying Zheng immediately ordered the Mohists to prepare for the construction of the Daqin Museum.

Datang.

Concubine Yang: People in future generations are simply talking nonsense. Where did she get her body odor? Not at all.

It was already humiliating for her to see future generations visiting the place where she bathed.

She didn't know what eccentricities and hobbies people of later generations had, and what was worth seeing in a bathing pool, which made her feel embarrassed.

But when she heard the unofficial stories that people in later generations got from unknown sources, slandering her as having body odor, she suddenly lost her guard and almost couldn't help but curse.

People all over the world can see Tianmu. If people all over the world believe that Tianmu said she has body odor, how will she be allowed to see anyone in the future.

Just thinking about the rumors flying around made her want to cry.

How could she have body odor?

If she really had body odor, how could His Majesty still favor her?

She had decided never to take a bath in Huaqing Palace again. It was already humiliating for future generations to visit the bathing pool, and she also had to be arranged by future generations for no reason. How could she bear this?
