秦始皇陵铜车马令人惊叹！游西安小雁塔、青龙寺，品尝汉中热米皮，从西安出发五岳最险峻的华山🇨🇳阿树Atlas

We know that the famous Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum is composed of two parts. The first part is the Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors Museum, which we saw in the previous episode. In this episode, I will share the second part, which is the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum National Archaeological Site Park, also known as “Lishan Garden”. Lishan Garden includes the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum mound, the Qin Mausoleum Bronze Chariots and Horses Museum, and other historical artifacts that I was most looking forward to seeing on this trip. The shuttle bus took about 3 minutes to reach the 9901 burial pit. The shuttle bus can be used three times for 15 yuan, which is equivalent to paying 5 yuan per ride. Burial pit 9901 K9901 This is a large burial pit in the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum. Its main entrance is here. After seeing this this morning, I came back and forwarded it. The rich burial goods, such as gold, silver and jewelry , indicate that the children or concubines were buried with him. We can see that
the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is in the very center . There are many burial pits around it , such as bronze chariot and horse pits . This one, K9901, is in the northwest corner. There is also 9801 , and many other burial pits. This is the K9901 burial pit. Look, this person is holding his belt with one hand and raising the other hand very high. He is in the posture of lifting a tripod. The first person is lifting it. The large cauldron- shaped terracotta figure might be depicted as a strongman carrying the cauldron. The original height of this figure should be around two meters . As you can see, some of these figures have inscriptions found on their bodies. The painted decorations on the acrobatic figures include star and moon shapes, arcs , octagons , suns, dragons and phoenixes , dots, and leaves . How did the craftsmen design the structure of the terracotta pit more than 2,000 years ago ? The construction method of the K9901 burial pit is basically the same as that of the Terracotta Army. First, a pit was dug and the bottom was compacted as a foundation. Two platforms were then built around the pit , followed by two earthen partition walls facing east and west, dividing the pit into three passageways. The south and north walls were lined with stacked wooden planks containing burial goods . After the arrangement was completed, wooden sheds were laid on the earthen partition walls and two-tiered platforms to seal the passageway. Mats were placed on the wooden sheds , and then soil was added to cover them. The artifacts unearthed at K9901 were numerous, including pottery, bronzes , ironware, saltware, stoneware , and tinware. Among them, pottery figurines were the most numerous and severely damaged. Some figurines had traces of painted decoration , but showed signs of cracking, peeling, flaking, and hollowing. This is relatively rare . One figurine is seated, with a bare upper body and some white paint. It is estimated that the tall one is about two meters high, supposedly the pole bearer in a pole performance, with a robust and muscular physique. The one next to it is much thinner . This is a terracotta figurine from a performance show, right? Like the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum , it has inner and outer city walls. This is the inner city wall, you can’t really see it. My goodness , these bright red persimmons ! Wow, they’re so beautiful! You can’t tell which are red and which are orange. These are the ones being sold , the ones the village women were hawking. Apparently, there’s so much food here, no wonder they’re so cheap, only a few yuan a basket. The second attraction is the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Bronze Chariot and Horse Museum, which opened in 2021. This is an underground museum. So many security checks! One after another, amazing discoveries! 19 In 1978, a large chariot and horse pit was discovered . Haha, the scene in the 1960s and 70s ! Look at the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum! Look at all those burial pits around it — the terracotta warrior pit , the stable pit , the animal pit, and so on. Look at that mountain; that’s the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum! (Aerial view of the burial pit, animal pit, terracotta warrior pit) . The two-layered pit containing the bronze chariots and horses is rectangular, 11.8 meters long and 3.1 meters wide. When it was discovered in the early 1980s, this was undoubtedly the highlight. Let’s go down and take a look. After years of hard work by the craftsmen, a restored bronze chariot and horse is now a magnificent sight! This is a reconstruction of the scene when the bronze chariot and horse were discovered. It ‘s a replica. When it was discovered, it looked like this . This is a rectangular kang (heated platform) . I’m really looking forward to seeing this bronze chariot and horse engage in a dialogue with artifacts from over 2,000 years ago. This took many craftsmen years of effort (restoration work). This is a bronze chariot . Look how exquisite it is! Its proportions are just right . It’s pulled by four ropes. Just because of these two bronze chariots and horses , a museum can be established. You can see how important these two bronze chariots and horses are ! We can see that the chariot has painted designs. The patterns are not clear. There’s an instrument inside. It seems like it’s used to measure the temperature and humidity inside. This is the second bronze chariot, and the design is different again. It’s a convertible chariot. This is said to be the earliest chariot in history. Look at this, it ‘s very lifelike. Just now, they said the horse’s tail was tied up in a knot, right?
What’s the reason for this? It ‘s to prevent the horse’s mane from getting messy. Look closely, the rope is in sections. Isn’t this a convertible? That’s a convertible. It is said that the Qin people were a tribe with rich experience in raising horses, familiar with the physical structure and behavioral habits of horses . When the Qin Dynasty craftsmen sculpted the bronze horses in front of us, they accurately grasped the horse’s body proportions and skeletal structure , and focused on strengthening the shaping of the horse’s head and legs. The proportions of the horse’s leg bones and joints are appropriate, and the muscles are strong and powerful . Among the eight bronze horses, four hooves are standing. So, it might not have been very clear when you saw it on the real chariot because the lights weren’t fully on. But it’s very clear when you see it in a high-definition photo. Wow, look at this cautious and confident (charioteer figurine). His micro-expression is that his facial features are upright , his expression is respectful and focused, and he also exudes a bit of confidence. Why is it painted ? Painting has several advantages. One is that it can cover up some flaws or traces left during the production process. What we see The small hill in front of me doesn’t have a name; the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is right below, yet it remains unexcavated. I walked up this small hill to see the scenery of Mount Li. It was late autumn in Xi’an; the sun was setting, and the city skyline was in the distance. I took a bus back to Xi’an from the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum. Mount Li, which stretches across Lintong County in Shaanxi Province, is located at the northern foot of Mount Li and is an important symbol of ancient Chinese civilization. This shop was at the foot of Mount Li, so I went into a halal noodle shop. The hand-pulled lamb was 88 yuan for 500 grams. I tried it; half a jin (250 grams) of hand-pulled lamb. The chili powder was fragrant but not spicy. There was also a bowl of clear broth. Uh, I really wanted to eat beef noodles. I recently added some chili powder; it’s the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten in my life… The best hand-pulled mutton is from the Tan sheep in Yanchi, Ningxia. It’s so delicious— not at all gamey or muttony , and it tastes great even without any dipping sauce. It has a particularly rich and sweet aftertaste. Visiting the Terracotta Army today was quite a shock for me. Although I’ve seen it many times in pictures, books, and on TV , actually being there in person, seeing those countless terracotta warriors up close, their expressions and postures, it felt like I had truly traveled back more than 2,000 years. The mutton was served and cooled down very quickly; once it cooled down, it wasn’t as good. I basically finished it all and was stuffed. The taste was just okay. The total cost was 57 yuan (about 8 US dollars) . The first hostel I stayed at in Xi’an had music playing and displays of Xi’an landmarks: the Bell Tower, dormitory area , laundry room , shoe lockers, 10-person dorms, shared beds , and a bathroom . The street facing the hostel was quite affordable at around 30 yuan per night (about $4.50 USD). The environment was also nice , but it lacked a quiet work area. I need a private and quiet work area , so I’m currently moving to another hostel. Actually, I don’t want to stay too close to tourist centers; I want to leave the tourist areas and go to a more residential area to experience the real prices. (These meals…) (Halls) are starting to set up small stalls in front of their own doors to do this kind of down-to-earth open-air business, expanding their customer traffic . Good job ! This original flavor pork knuckle is 19 yuan each, and the original flavor pork hock is 58 yuan each. Abalone, scallops, abalone, this is vermicelli abalone, 12 yuan each. This scallop, scallops, 6 yuan each, vermicelli. Spicy whelk, 68 yuan. Hmm, look at the mantis shrimp. Tonight we’re having ribs, 38 yuan (about 7.3 USD). There are quite a lot of ribs, and they taste good . They’re cooked quite tender. (The next morning) At the end of November, the sycamore trees turned yellow. Last night we saw the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. The top part of the Small Wild Goose Pagoda seems to have been damaged . Is it under renovation? The Xi’an Museum is closed all day Tuesday for overall maintenance . Oh, what bad luck! It took me 20 minutes to walk here . Let ‘s take a look at the aerial view of the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. In Xi’an, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is incredibly famous, while the Small Wild Goose Pagoda is relatively unknown . Originally called “Jianfu Temple Pagoda” (built between 707 and 709 AD) , it originally had 15 stories and was about 45 meters tall . Due to damage from wars at the end of the Tang Dynasty and multiple earthquakes, it now has 13 stories and is about 43.3 meters tall. Because it is slightly later and smaller than the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in both scale and era , but because its shape is similar to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it was named “Small Wild Goose Pagoda.” The Small Wild Goose Pagoda and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda… The Wild Goose Pagoda and other ruins are listed together in the World Heritage List of “Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor”. It mainly preserves Buddhist scriptures and statues brought back from India by the Tang Dynasty monk Yijing. It ‘s not just architecture , but also a microcosm of Chang’an’s interaction with the world. Hanzhong hot rice noodles ( 5 yuan a serving) and vegetable tofu ( I saw locals having a bowl of this for breakfast; some add chili oil , but I didn’t). This is pickled radish, sour and salty. How can you come to Xi’an, Shaanxi and not eat cold noodles? This is my first time trying hot cold noodles. This one is 8 yuan , this one is 5 yuan , and this one is 5 yuan. Hmm, I saw locals eating… This is what I ate for breakfast: peanuts and chili peppers. Wow, it looks so appetizing! And there are bean sprouts underneath too . Let me try a bite of this vegetable tofu. Hmm, no seasoning added, just the original flavor of the tofu, it’s powdery. You should add chili peppers and dried chili peppers yourself . This isn’t called hot cold noodles, I misread it, it’s called hot rice noodles , Hanzhong hot rice noodles! Hot rice noodles are one of the most representative traditional snacks in Hanzhong area (Hanzhong City) in southern Shaanxi, and it ‘s also a common breakfast for local people. It’s made by soaking high-quality rice, grinding it into a paste, steaming it into rice noodles , and then cutting it into strips while it’s still hot. After serving, it ‘s drizzled with special chili oil, minced garlic, vinegar, etc. Although it looks similar to cold noodles in Guanzhong , Hanzhong rice noodles are eaten hot. (Hanzhong hot rice noodles) It doesn’t have the elasticity of rice noodles or cold noodles; it’s just soft and chewy. The chili oil is really great— fragrant but not spicy ! Wow, this hot rice noodle is delicious! The tofu dish is warm and comforting , perfect for winter. I didn’t expect to finish almost everything! We also visited the Big Wild Goose Pagoda yesterday, and then again during the day. Xuanzang, the famous Tang Dynasty monk, translator, and traveler, born in 600 AD, is right behind the statue. We’re on the same line, so the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is a place of great feng shui . You see , the jade seal that Qin Shi Huang used to unify the six kingdoms was made of Lantian jade. Yes, this one cost over 1,000 yuan, but we only spent 1,500 (about $210 USD). It’s 1,600. I forgot, my wife bought me Lantian jade, which has health benefits . Oh right, the Qinling Mountains are the dragon vein of our country , and Lantian jade is from the jade mines at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. Right,
they’re not allowed to mine it now, it ‘s closed , after all, it’s the dragon vein. The Xi’an Museum is closed today. Then we came to the Sui Dynasty Daxing and Tang Dynasty Chang’an City Ruins and the Qinglong Temple Ruins . Qinglong Temple was first built in 582 AD. It is located in Leyouyuan, southeast of Xi’an City today. It is an ancient Buddhist temple site with a long history. It was first built in the Sui Dynasty , that is, 582 AD. It reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty and was one of the important centers for the spread of Buddhism Esoteric Buddhism, also known as the True Word Esoteric Buddhism. During the Tang Dynasty, a large number of monks from home and abroad gathered here to study Buddhism, including the Japanese monk Kukai, whom we will introduce next, and the famous poet Li Shangyin. The poem “Climbing Leyouyuan” describes the scenic beauty of this place: ” Feeling unwell in the evening , I drove to the ancient plain. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s nearing dusk. ” The Tang Dynasty -style courtyard is particularly lively here every March as many tourists come to admire the cherry blossoms. The pavilion in the front row is called Yunfeng Pavilion. The cherry blossoms, a gift from Japan to Qinglong Temple , reminded me of my travels in Tokyo and Osaka; I had a sense of déjà vu. The Tang Dynasty style is reminiscent of the Kukai Monument . I couldn’t understand the Japanese inscription, but in front of the Kukai Monument is an exhibition hall recording the cultural exchange between China and Japan, especially the life and deeds of Kukai. Kukai was a Japanese high-ranking monk who had a profound influence on cultural exchange between China and Japan and was also the founder of Shingon Buddhism. He was born in 774 AD. In his youth, he began studying Esoteric Buddhism in 804 AD. Arriving in Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty (present-day Xi’an), Kukai studied Esoteric Buddhism under Master Huiguo (a renowned Tang Dynasty esoteric Buddhist monk) at Qinglong Temple. After completing his studies, Kukai returned to Japan and founded the Shingon sect, deeply embedding esoteric Buddhist thought in Japanese society and religious culture. [The text then lists various temples and historical sites, including Qinglong Temple, the main esoteric Buddhist temple , the Peace Street , the Bell Tower, the Kukai Memorial Hall, the birthplace of Kukai, the eighth patriarch of the Shingon sect, the ruins of Chang’an City during the Sui Dynasty, and the Qinglong Temple ruins.] This concludes this episode . In the next episode, we will explore Mount Hua, one of China’s Five Sacred Mountains, known for its precipitous terrain. Thank you for watching. I’m Atlas. See you next time.
