2 B The first imperial tomb is an underground "kingdom" full of magical colors. At present, we can only make a preliminary discussion and speculation based on the existing archaeological materials and related historical documents.

In Historical Records, the mercury in the imperial tombs at the beginning of three years can be found as a record of rivers and seas, and there are similar words in Hanshu. However, whether there is mercury in the mausoleum has always been a mystery. Scientists' preliminary conclusion: the records of a large amount of mercury buried in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum in history books are reliable. As for why the underground palace buried a lot of mercury? Li Daoyuan, a scholar in the Northern Wei Dynasty, explained that "taking mercury as the river and sea lies in taking mercury as the four blasphemies, the rivers and mountains, and Kyushu, which has a geographical trend." It turns out that Mercury symbolizes the geography of mountains and rivers, which corresponds to "astronomy"

The phrase "exotic things, rare things, exotic things moved to Tibet" comes from Sima Qian's works. In the late 1980s, archaeologists excavated a group of large painted bronze chariots and horses on the west side of the underground palace. The precise modeling and exquisite decoration of horses and chariots are rare in the world. Previously, archaeologists also unearthed a number of wooden chariots and horses. Except the chariots and horses and the emperor figurines are made of wood, the other decorations are made of gold, silver and copper. There are such exquisite funerary objects outside the underground palace, so it is conceivable that there are rich funerary objects and exquisite collections in the underground palace.

So there were coffins, clothes and furs, chariots and horses, and utensils for cooking and eating.
