Title

Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor

Description

Located in the Lintong District of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is the tomb of the first emperor in Chinese history, the largest and richest of the ancient tombs of Chinese emperors, and a great testimony to the culture of the Qin Dynasty. The discovery of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit in 1974 brought the important cultural heritage of Qin Shi Huang's tomb to the world. The site is supported by the mausoleum and is surrounded by more than 300 burial pits of various kinds, forming a rich and complete system of imperial tombs and providing a solid foundation for future generations to study imperial tombs. From the distribution of cultural relics, the concept of Qin Shi Huang's tombs can be divided into three spatial levels: the mausoleum area, the mausoleum garden and the tombs, and the culture of the Qin Dynasty can be understood through the study of terracotta warriors, which is a treasure of human culture.
