106.The Qin Dynasty: Secrets We Still Can’t Explain

More than two thousand years ago, Qin Shi Huang brought a long age of war to an end and united scattered lands into one vast empire. This ruler was called the First Emperor, and his name left a deep mark on the long course of history. However, when it comes to the end of his life, the historical record contains many unclear and uncertain parts. The turning point in history came when he suddenly died during one of his imperial inspection tours. After that, later generations created countless stories about his death, his tomb, and his search for eternal life. These stories are not just stories. They reflect how people of that age understood life, death, and even the universe itself. For people who are not familiar with the historical background of East Asia, understanding these mysteries requires stepping into the cultural world of that time. People in that age believed that there was a connection between heaven and earth, and that the health of the ruler was closely tied to the fate of the state.
