Oriental pyramid north of Luoyang.

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Wang, which had only been excavated a little bit before, have now begun to be excavated again.

The largest archaeological excavation in China so far, the No. 1 tomb of Qin Gong, is located in Fengxiang County, Baoji City. From 1976 to 1986, archaeological excavations were carried out on the tomb. This is the largest ancient tomb excavated in China at present, and it is also the ancient tomb with the longest excavation time.

The monarch of the Qin State has been operating in Yongcheng for more than 290 years from the beginning of the Duke of De to the end of the Duke of Xian, and has experienced 19 monarchs. It has been proved that among the 13 mausoleums, 18 monarchs are buried in the loess in the southern suburbs of Yongcheng.

The No. 1 tomb of Qin Gong is in the shape of a "medium", 24 meters deep, and about 8 stories high. The burial chamber is rectangular in shape, with a crest length of 59 4 m and a width of 38 45-38 8 m; The bottom is 40 meters long and 20 meters wide, and it is the size of two international standard basketball courts. The slope of the east tomb road is 156 1 meters long, standing in it and looking up, it seems to enter the canyon.

The west tomb road is 85 5 meters long. From top to bottom, there are 3 steps around the wall, which are 2-6 meters wide. Its total area is equivalent to more than 10 times that of the tomb of King Yin of Anyang.

The chamber at the bottom of the tomb is divided into the main chamber and the secondary chamber, which is in the shape of a curved ruler. The area is 128 square meters and 35 square meters respectively, and the depth is 4 2 meters and 2 1 meters respectively. Each has a set of cypress coffins, and each cypress imitation wood used weighs more than 300 kilograms, and the total amount is about 300 cubic meters.

Its form is the early "yellow intestine inscription", and it is also the earliest, highest level and most well-preserved "yellow intestine inscription" found in China so far. The wooden stele found on the north and south sides of the tomb is the earliest and largest wooden stele in China so far. The largest number of people were found buried in the tomb, reaching 184.

This tomb is also the tomb with the most robbed holes found so far, with 247 tombs. It is presumed that the owner of the tomb was Qin Jinggong.

The earliest tomb found in China is the lower chamber of the Upper Paleolithic Cave in Zhoukoudian, Beijing.

The emergence of prehistoric burial customs is closely related to the emergence of primitive religions represented by "animism", the concept of souls and ancestor worship. According to archaeological discoveries, the earliest known tomb in China was found in the late Paleolithic period, in the lower chamber of the cave on the top of Zhoukoudian Mountain, Beijing, three fossilized human skulls with ornaments and hematite powder sprinkled around were found, apparently consciously buried.

The burial practice occurred around the end of the Middle Paleolithic to the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic.

Origin of the burial:

More than 3,000 matrilineal clan commune tombs excavated in China show that the burial customs of prehistoric times showed different characteristics in terms of tomb shape, burial style, and burial utensils due to different eras, regions, and cultures. Nonetheless, cultural communities in prehistoric times were generally based on the clan system, so there were often some common principles in the burial system that were consistent with the clan system.

In the Neolithic period, it has become the most common burial method in the Yellow River Basin for people to dig pits and bury corpses, and clan public cemeteries appeared, with single burial, multiple burials, secondary burials and other burial styles.

The largest ancient tomb excavated in China is Qin Gong No. 1, which is in the shape of an inverted pyramid and is the largest tomb excavated in China so far.

Tomb No. 1 constitutes the east and west walls of the main coffin and all the north-south cypress wood at the bottom and lid of the coffin, with tenons sticking out at both ends, and on the north and south sides of the main coffin, they are formed into a rectangular shape like a cabinet. Later, the archaeological team found some ancient musical instruments in the cemetery, and there were inscriptions on them, which were later carefully rubbed. After the results of expert cracking, it was determined that the inscription recorded a palace banquet, and the owner of the tomb was the convener of the event.

The words "Gonghuan is the heir" in the inscription explain his identity. Gonghuan is the heir" means that Gonggong and Huan are the heirs, so according to this speculation, its heir is Jing Gong.

The owner of the tomb lying in this huge coffin inside the yellow intestine inscription is called Jing Gong, who was the 14th ruler of Qin, the 18th ancestor of the first emperor Yingzheng, who reigned for 40 years from 577 BC.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in China is the largest underground imperial mausoleum in the world. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang are only a small part of the Qin Tomb, and the construction of the Qin Tomb has expanded into the entire Lishan Mountain. It is the largest ancient tomb in China, but the exploration of the center of the Qin Tomb has yet to be discovered.
