Why did Qin Shihuang like to wear black clothes? Why did South Korea suggest Qin Guojian?

When it comes to Qin Shihuang, people probably have the impression that he was the first emperor in China to unify the writing and currency, and he became even more violent after he became emperor.

Qin Shihuang's life can be said to be legendary. There are four figures (times) in his life, which are worth remembering. He acceded to the throne at the age of 13. Now 13 years old, still in the first grade, can't handle political affairs.

So, at that time, the politics of Qin was handed over to the Prime Minister Lv Buwei. According to legend, Qin Shihuang's mother was a concubine, but when Qin Shihuang's father betrothed her to Qin Zhuang.

There is also a saying in history that when Lv Buwei gave Evonne to the king of Qin Zhuang, she was pregnant, so some historians said, could Qin Shihuang be the son of Lv Buwei? This is unknown.

Qin Shihuang was crowned at the age of 22 and regained power in his own hands. When Qin Shihuang 13 years old, his mother lost the other half, and the relationship between men and women in Evonne was very chaotic, so it was reported that Evonne and Lv Buwei had an affair.

With the growth of Qin Shihuang, Lv Buwei was afraid of being discovered by him, so Lv Buwei brought a diner named Lao Ai, who was a counselor. Pretending that the man was castrated, he sent him to the palace and became Empress Dowager Zhao's lover.

Therefore, when Qin Shihuang ascended the throne at the age of 22, he must first solve these two forces. Because after Lao Ai entered the palace, he was made a long letter Hou, that is, he was already knighted. In front of others, he even called himself the stepfather of the young king of Qin at that time.

So after Qin Shihuang came to power, he first solved the problems of these two people. One is Lao Ai, who was dismembered by five horses, that is, the car split, that is, tied your hands and feet, and then let several cars run in different directions at the same time.

The other is Lv Buwei. Lv Buwei was very powerful at that time, so Qin Shihuang banished him to Bashu area (now Sichuan). Lv Buwei knew that being demoted actually meant death, so he finally committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine.

So when Qin Shihuang ascended the throne at the age of 22, he quickly solved the political problems and held power firmly in his hands. Qin Shihuang successfully unified the six countries at the age of 38. But soon, he died at the age of 49.

The most interesting thing about Qin Shihuang is that in order to make his regime legal, Qin Shihuang put forward the theory of "five virtues begin at the end". Five virtues are always different theories of China's ancient five elements, namely, Jin Mu's theory of fire, water, earth and mutual resistance.

At that time, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was a fire, so the Qin Dynasty wanted to replace fire with water virtue. The color he uses is not yellow, which is commonly used by emperors, but black, which represents the color of water, so all his clothes are black.

He also likes to use the number 6. At that time, there was a unified "same rail car" with a width of 6 feet, because it was related to his five-element skill. He hopes to use these statements to make him more orthodox to replace Zhou's feudalism.

On the other hand, there is another story about Shuide. At that time, the State of Qin was located in the west of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, namely Shaanxi, and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was also in xi 'an.

Xi in Guanzhong Plain is relatively hot and dry. At that time, there was a small country called Korea next to Qin State. Because Korea was small and surrounded by other countries, it was difficult to develop.

In order to slow down the development of Qin State, he had a bad idea. He sent a water conservancy expert named Zheng State to convince Qin Shihuang that the position of Qin State was relatively dry and the land was not fertile, which would affect the productivity of Qin State, so he suggested that he build an artificial river to divert water to facilitate irrigation of that river, about 300 miles.

This length was a very big project for Qin at that time. South Korea hopes to use this water conservancy project, which will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, thus slowing down the development of Qin State.

Of course, in the process of construction, it did slow down the development of Qin, but after the river was built, the water from the water mirror could be introduced into Luoshui, which made the Guanzhong Plain have irrigation water and the land more fertile, and finally improved the grain productivity of Qin.

In fact, Qin Shihuang discovered that this was a trick during the construction process, but it was finally completed. Why? Because he needed food, although he used a lot of manpower at that time, he could earn it back soon afterwards. Finally, he built the canal and named it "Zheng Guoqu" after the water conservancy engineer.

In addition to building water conservancy projects, unifying writing and currency, and being on the same track as cars, Qin Shihuang also made contributions to controlling the whole country and established a perfect transportation network, which was called Chidao at that time, just like national highways or expressways now.

One of them is very famous, that is, the "Qin Zhidao" built to attack the Huns, that is, from Xianyang, the capital at that time, to the north, and its remains can still be seen today.

Because the road at that time was not paved with modern concrete, but rammed with loess, that is, under the weight of layer after layer of loess.

The deepest part of the rammed soil layer is over10m, so even today, nothing grows on the road in Qin Zhi, that is, from the current point of view, it is still very advanced, because the design of the road is high in the middle and low on both sides, which is convenient for diverting rainwater after rain.

Tamping soil with loess was a very rigorous project in ancient times. There is another famous place about rammed loess. The castle that still exists today is at the junction of Shaanxi Province and Inner Mongolia today, which is the famous "Wantong City". Its hardness and ability to resist wind and sand are very high.

Back to the theme, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he was not satisfied with this. He wants to expand his world to all the places he sees. After the unification of the six countries, he went to the northern expedition to the Xiongnu, and then Nanping Baiyue, which is today's Hong Kong and Guangdong, belonged to Yue State at that time.

After pacifying the world, he began to cruise around. On the fifth voyage, he got sick halfway. Just a year before he fell ill, an incredible thing happened at that time. At that time, it was all related to some monsters.

At that time, a meteorite fell in the Central Plains, and it was actually engraved with "Qin Shihuang dies and splits", which means that once Qin Shihuang dies, Qin will split again.

Qin Shihuang was furious when he learned about this incident, and ordered local officials to investigate who carved the words, but he couldn't find the murderer. Finally, Qin Shihuang used a very violent method, that is, he killed everyone living near the meteorite.

In the second year after the meteorite fell, Qin Shihuang died during the cruise. In such a huge country, if the emperor dies suddenly, there will be no leader.

There was a very famous traitor in the Qin Dynasty, namely Zhao Gao. After the death of Qin Shihuang, Zhao Gao concealed this matter, tampered with the will that Qin Shihuang originally intended to let his eldest son Fu Su succeed to the throne, and changed it to his second son Hu Hai, which changed Qin Ershi's choice, thus rewriting the whole history.

At that time, in order to avoid letting people know that Qin Shihuang was dead, in the process of returning to Xianyang from Qin Zhi Road, a car full of abalone was specially pulled, which covered up the rotten smell of Qin Shihuang's body because of its heavy smell. So I kept the news a secret until I returned to Xianyang to let Hu Hai succeed me.

After the Qin dynasty unified the world, it was only 10 years, but the established transportation network, including the Qinzhi Road and other Chidao mentioned just now, added up to more than 6,800 kilometers.

We often say that "all roads lead to Rome". In fact, the Roman Empire did not appear until after the 4th century. The total length of the road is only 6,000 kilometers, which is 800 kilometers less than the road network established by Qin Shihuang.

Therefore, Qin Shihuang is a legend. After the unification of the six countries, the establishment of the transportation network, and even the Great Wall of Wan Li today, also stems from its construction of the Great Wall on the border to guard against the Huns.

Everyone has his own criteria for judging Qin Shihuang's merits and demerits, but I think it may be more rational to look at it separately.
