    These twelve bronze figures were gradually destroyed in the development of later history. Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and put the cast twelve bronze figures in the Afang Palace, and were buried in the soil when Xiang Yu entered the pass and burned the Afang Palace; Liu Bang Jianhan dug them up again to visit, but by the time of Wang Mang, his inscription was destroyed, but his main body was still intact; At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo melted ten bronze figures to make money, and the remaining two were preserved after Dong Zhuo's death; Finally, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the remaining two bronze figures were completely destroyed.

    Answer: No one can say the whereabouts of the twelve bronze men so far, and some people believe that when Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, burned Afangguan when he conquered Xianyang, the capital of Qin, he also burned these twelve bronze men. Since this theory is not recorded in the history books, there are few people who agree with it.

    Some scholars also pointed out that the twelve bronze figures were destroyed at the hands of Dong Zhuo at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Fu Jian, the former king of Qin. Some scholars believe that during the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shi Jilong of Later Zhao transported these two bronze figures to Yecheng. After the former Qin king Fu Jian unified the north, he transported the two bronze men back to Chang'an from Yecheng to be destroyed.

    At this point, all the twelve bronze figures have been destroyed! There is also a more optimistic saying, the twelve bronze people are Qin Shi Huang's favorite things, after the mausoleum is built, along with other jewelry to accompany the burial, due to some technical factors, the excavation of the Qin Tomb can not be carried out temporarily, so the whereabouts of the twelve bronze people, so far no one can say clearly!

    Among them, 10 bronze figures, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, were melted down by Dong Zhuo and cast into copper coins; And the other two bronze people, in the time of Later Qin Fujian, destroyed the gold people by Ye Yun'an. At this point, all the twelve bronze figures were completely destroyed.

    The first theory is that when Xiang Yu burned down Afang Palace, he burned the bronze man together. The second theory is that Dong Zhuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty cast the bronze man into a copper coin.

    There are three possibilities:

    1. It was burned down by Xiang Yu when he burned Afang Palace many years later, which is pure speculation and cannot be proven.

    Second, it was melted down by Dong Zhuo in the Three Kingdoms period and made into copper coins, which is recorded in "Three Kingdoms, Wei Shuliu, Dong Er Yuan Liu Biography Sixth": "(Dong Zhuo) broke the bronze man, Zhong Yu, and bad five-baht coins. It is also cast as a small money, a big five points, no article, no meat and no wheels, and no grinding. ”

    3. As a funeral object of Qin Shi Huang, it was sealed into the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. However, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has not been fully excavated, and perhaps one day the archaeology of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang can be confirmed.

    It must be in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang who wanted to protect the person the most, but now it has not been found and cannot be verified.
