Sixty-one statues of Fan Chen, very good
Although the Qianling Mausoleum has not been excavated, there are still many things to watch.

Among the imperial mausoleums of all dynasties in China, Qianling Mausoleum is the most special, known as the "Three Gorges Project" in the archaeological circle. The location of the ancient emperor's mausoleum was particularly particular. The "harmony between man and nature" mentioned in Chinese culture is one of the geomantic basis for the emperor to choose the location of the tomb, but in fact the so-called "feng shui theory" is actually a mysterious understanding of the natural geographical environment. Knowing that the environment and location are naturally the first, "the sand and water in the Dragon's Cave are all beautiful, and the situation is in order, and all the auspicious people are prepared" is the most vivid description of it. However, due to the ancient ethical concept and funeral customs of "death is like life", the tombs of ancient emperors often contained a large number of precious cultural relics and gold, silver and jewelry, which naturally attracted many tomb robbers. Reminiscent of the popularity of tomb-robbing literature and film and television dramas in recent years, this is only a portrayal in a superficial sense. In essence, tomb robbers have caused extremely serious damage to tomb culture and cultural relics. However, for more than a thousand years, Qianling has always been a There are no stolen tombs, and the mysterious stories in them are really strange, but none of them show the uniqueness of Qianling!
