Great video ~ In history, if Qin Shihuang (The First Emperor of Qin Dynasty) hadn’t unified China, unified writing, unified our language, unified weights and measures, unified government system and other great things! Today's China is today's Europe. It is divided into more than 30 countries. Wars are constantly happening. The people live in disasters. Culture cannot be spread. The language has also developed into the languages of different "countries" due to dialects in different places. Chinese People are more united and the splendid culture continues to this day. Qin Shihuang is one of the greatest figures in Chinese history ~

I still remember the first time I saw Pit One, I opened my mouth and got up, shocked, absolutely shocked. You can understand how the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people was. Every Terra Cotta Warriors here is different. So, you are welcome to see it for yourself. It is a great miracle.
I am an Indonesian Chinese, we are proud as a nation where we have survived throughout the world, the culture and principles of life were taught by our ancestors. Enjoy your adventure in this extraordinary world of civilization, friends.😊
The Qin army was described by other states as "troops of tigers and wolves" (虎狼之师). The state of Qin resembles the Sparta of ancient Greece in many ways, in both of which ppl led a rigidly militant way of life.
Although the cherry blossom is native to China, the Chinese flower aesthetic has never valued the cherry blossom and prefers the peach blossom to the plum blossom. Only in recent years the Japanese culture is strong, by the Japanese cherry blossom viewing culture, many places to plum blossom tree peach tree dug up instead of planting cherry blossom trees, too bad.
The First Emperor's necropolis over 20sq kilometers big, they still only managed to scratch he surface of it only. Archeologists say there is a minimum another 200 years of work to be done to uncover everything ! That hill or mountain is actually the tomb of the First Emperor beneath it.
@@dearpope I am not talking about restoration that in itself is a whole other chapter, but just discoveries that are yet to be uncovered. According to ancient texts the First Emperor's tomb lays beneath a mausoleum pyramid in the center of a map of China surrounded by a sea of mercury covered up by over hundreds of feet of earth like the hills and mountains they commented on. Scientists and archeologists have already located the location his tomb, but the current state of technology are not allowed to excavate it until they are sure the can preserve the artifacts from air and oxidation. It would require a force field or some sort to protect a dig site of that magnitude.
Do you believe that there're still active traps in the tomb to defend itself? I really hope that archeologists can uncover these traps someday, if they exist.
@@wenyichen5515 The Qin army was already using mass produced brass triggers in their crossbows as far back as 250BCE, those metal trigger parts and arrow heads were found on the Terracotta warriors crossbows intact, but the bow and strings all rotted away. Inside an air tight and non UV sunlight mausoleum they still can be intact and deadly !
@@wenyichen5515 There is evidence that some ancient tombs in China were filled with quicksand or gravel. When grave robbers tried to enter the tombs, quicksand and gravel would fill the tombs and bury the grave robbers alive at the same time. This may be the preventive measures you mentioned. According to historical records and contemporary scientific remote sensing research, Qin Shihuang's tomb is full of mercury. After a long time, the tomb is full of mercury vapor. If a grave robber opens the tomb, he will be poisoned by mercury vapor, which is also a preventive measure.
Love your videos, China looks great. How about a "Tips for China travel" video? Like what APP to use, things you learn would make China travel easier! It be popular & help lots of people! ❤
I'll start with a comment section travel tips 1. First of all, since our country's network cannot use foreign software, you may need a VPN. It is a VPN that can be used to pass through the national firewall. 2. It is recommended to use Alipay for payment. 3. Navigation software can use Autonavi maps or Baidu maps. Although they are navigation software, they can also be used to take a taxi. Well, these software are enough to support any corner of China.
I am Chinese, and I want to tell you that Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Suzhou are three places worth visiting. The economy is very developed, and the cities are very beautiful!❤❤❤
8:19 Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that. I thought all of them were broken and the archaeologist had to reassemble them. Good to know one had survived. I just thought of it. It would be nice decoration in my backyard. 😁
You guys always going to Mixue just reminded me that I recently learnt it originated from Zhengzhou, the city I was born in. If you guys have a chance, should check out the Shaolin Monastery in Henan province, which is the province Zhengzhou is in. Was also recently told by my relatives that Zhengzhou is the newest city to be classified as 1st tier. Not sure how up to date the info is but just seeing if this might tickle your fancy in checking it out.
You guys may have entered the wrong side of the site. I remember the entrance is pretty close, and you're supposed to enter from Pit #1 with the grand display of hundreds of terra cottas.
@@cosmoobserver3416 He'd make sure there was a unified standard, (just like what he did with written language, weights, carts & carriages etc.) and that no corporation could monopolize it and pillage monopoly rent from the people. Such was the vision of the first emperor.
The Chinese Odyssey continues, great recording of the warriors. Did get to walk in ahead of the massive queues because of your visitor status? Most enjoyable, thank you guys😀
The great wall actually was started building before Qin Shi Wang. Sections were built by the warlords up north before he unified China. I think Qin Shi Wang credited for linking those sections together and extended it. And then the emperors of the later dynasties also kept extending it to today's scale.
At the same time, Qin Shihuang built a large number of national engineering projects, such as the Emperor's Mausoleum in Mount Li, the Epang Palace in Xianyang, the ancient expressway from the capital to the border-Qinzhi Road, and the Great Wall to defend the Huns in the north. Due to the construction project, a large number of civilian workers were requisitioned, which made the people miserable and the world in chaos, and soon the revolution broke out. Although Qin Shihuang founded the first unified empire in China, the empire was very short-lived. After Qin Shihuang's death, the empire he founded soon perished in revolutions everywhere.
Oh no, your tickets actually include two attractions, one is the Terracotta Warriors of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and the other is Lishan Garden (also known as the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang). There are more treasures of the Terracotta Warriors on display in Lishan Garden, just take the free shuttle at the exit of the Terracotta Warriors to get there. It's bigger inside and is the burial site of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. It seems you didn't go there, did you not know? That's a pity. 😢

You see, the Qin ruled whole China only for 15 years. This work must have started some time when the emperor was young and stopped before the empire went down.

🇷🇺🤝🇨🇳 Lavrov: China has become a leader in global development. This does not suit the United States, which, together with its satellites, having already subjugated the rest of the West, declared at the doctrinal level that they cannot allow anyone to become stronger and more influential than Washington. Therefore, together with our Chinese colleagues, we have an objective interest in continuing to lead efforts to establish a more just and democratic world order. And of course, all this will be for the benefit of the democratization of international relations, when everyone will take their place in world affairs fairly, according to their real contribution to the development of the world economy, world politics, world security system, and not through blackmail, threats, ultimatums, as the West is doing now. The duo of Moscow and Beijing plays a vital balancing role in world affairs. I am confident that the upcoming visit of the Russian President to the People’s Republic of China will strengthen our joint work.
if randomly ask Xi'an locals, you will find that a lot of them had never been to Terra Cotta Worriors...It's just like Londoner that never ride on London Eye. Too close to visit 😅

At the same time, Qin Shihuang built a large number of national engineering projects, such as the emperor's mausoleum in Mount Li, the unparalleled terracotta warriors and horses, the Epang Palace in Xianyang, the ancient highway running through the capital to the border-Qinzhi Road, and the Great Wall to defend the Huns in the north. Due to the construction project, a large number of civilian workers were requisitioned, which made the people miserable and the world in chaos, and soon the revolution broke out.

Haha, guys, the passage you took when entering the park is for active or retired soldiers, disabled or pregnant women。However, it's not a big deal. The management still allowed you to enter, which can be considered as a kind of care for your guests who have come from afar😝
There is a story about the Terra Cotta Warriors. A staff member in charge of photographing the Terra Cotta Warriors found a fingerprint on the lips of the Terra Cotta Warriors when he was photographing one of the Terra Cotta Warriors. At that time, he felt a sudden touch, that is, the craftsman who made the Terra Cotta Warriors more than 2000 years ago had some connection with modern people in this way.
The Qin Dynasty was a short but powerful dynasty. Qin Shihuang (The First Emperor of Qin) not only left the Terra Cotta Warriors, but also built an unimaginable palace. It is said that all the trees in a mountain were cut down to build the palace.🤯Unfortunately, this palace was completely destroyed by the rebels afterwards.😢In addition, he also used soil to pile up a large mountain on the flat ground as his tomb.
Very glad to see that you were able to visit my hometown, but it is really a pity that you didn't see the bronze chariots and horses that have move to other places. Your videos are also very popular at bilibili, maybe you can create a bilibili account.
Those were brutal times period, I believe someone or his cabinet must had convinced him making these soldiers, avoided the traditional human sacrifice which saved many lives. An eternal army that don't die guarding his tomb must sounds more intriguing to him. The soldiers still being alive can continue protect their country while he is at rest.
This tradition was almost abandoned outside barbaric Qin, and Qin Shi Huang adopted it again to the worst extent. Do you know what happended to his consorts and craftsmen? Friend you should find someone else to admire.
@@sola4393 He killed all this craftsmen and workers who constructed the tomb, and his consorts were sacrificed too after his death. He's and his empire are the example of brutalness for all generations before and after him! Recently several tombs of tens of thousand killed captives were found in Hebei province, where the campaign of Changping happened. 400,000 Heibei soldiers were buried alive!🤮
In Chinese history, the evaluation of First Emperor of Qin is mixed. He killed many intellectuals at that time, but most of them were those who were good at deceiving and inciting the people with rhetoric. He burned a lot of books, but most of them were about witchcraft. He kept the really important books in the palace. (Some customs at that time were different from today's and cannot be judged directly by today's values. This is just like the Egyptian Pharaoh also killed a large number of workers who built the Pharaoh's tomb, but today's Western historians will not use this incident to evaluate an Egyptian Pharaoh. Not a tyrant) He built the Great Wall, which blocked foreign attacks for many subsequent dynasties. More importantly, First Emperor of Qin unified writing and weights and measures, which laid the foundation for China's long-term unification. Of course, China has a long history and has had many civil wars, but this unified pattern has always existed and been maintained. First Emperor of Qin made great contributions to the long-lasting spread of Chinese civilization, because the unified pattern helped preserve the uninterrupted Chinese civilization. Whether some people like it or not, this is the truth! If Europe had the opportunity to have a person similar to First Emperor of Qin, I believe the current world situation would be very different, Europe would be stronger! This is also one of the reasons why Alexander the Great is remembered in history. First Emperor of Qin's achievements do not need to be liked to become real. There is no point in discussing "facts" in terms of "like it or not".
It's simply jaw dropping if you are fortunate to be able to visit. Scale is something that cannot be judged well on RUclips. I suggest visitors climb the unopened tree covered mausoleum hill itself to stretch the legs and get a view of the surrounding historic landscape.
In fact, the Terracotta Warriors were coloured when they were first unearthed, but only grey because of oxidation, so you can imagine how real and spectacular they were when they were first built!

morning❤
Love your vlogs❥you guys showing the real China. Although you have an account on Bilibili now, I also want to review on your RUclips channel to express my love, hope you have a happy tirp in other China cities~~
anytime you can trust the police in China CZ they are the people's police. Image that you &people's police&bad guys are on the three points of a triangle --you're afraid of bad guys, and bad guys are afraid of people's police, and people's police service for you people.In China you can just ask the police for help when in any trouble
are you going to the sleepless city? looking forward to it 😀
We’d love to 😊
That's the queue for disable etc or who need special assistance lol
And retired military personnel.😂
他们走那条应该没有问题，其他入口应该无法识别护照，只能识别身份证
Oops, they let us queue there as no staff on the other kiosks 😊
you two are such an energetic, enthusiastic, open-minded and lovely couple! i've followed almost every single episode of your China vlogs and i must say they're so refreshing and inspiring to watch! welcome and enjoy the rest of your adventure in China! way to go!
That’s so kind, thank you very much 😊🙏🏻
🇷🇺🤝🇨🇳 Lavrov: China has become a leader in global development. This does not suit the United States, which, together with its satellites, having already subjugated the rest of the West, declared at the doctrinal level that they cannot allow anyone to become stronger and more influential than Washington.
Therefore, together with our Chinese colleagues, we have an objective interest in continuing to lead efforts to establish a more just and democratic world order.
And of course, all this will be for the benefit of the democratization of international relations, when everyone will take their place in world affairs fairly, according to their real contribution to the development of the world economy, world politics, world security system, and not through blackmail, threats, ultimatums, as the West is doing now.
The duo of Moscow and Beijing plays a vital balancing role in world affairs. I am confident that the upcoming visit of the Russian President to the People’s Republic of China will strengthen our joint work.

if randomly ask Xi'an locals, you will find that a lot of them had never been to Terra Cotta Worriors...It's just like Londoner that never ride on London Eye. Too close to visit 😅
As a Shanghainese, I haven't been to the Oriental Pearl Tower since elementary school. My only visit was orgnized by school and quite compulsory.
@@constantineding8700 yes that's what I meant 😃
Have never been to the Forbidden City.It's just 4.4km away from me 🙄
I grew up in and around San Francisco and I have never been to Alcatraz.
Yesss! This is so true and it happened a few times haha 😊
Enjoy this visit with you guys so much.

18:12 it took about 38 years to build the whole Qin Shi Huang’s tomb, including terracotta warriors, underground palaces…. How long it took to build the terracotta warriors is not found exactly documented so far.
At the same time, Qin Shihuang built a large number of national engineering projects, such as the emperor's mausoleum in Mount Li, the unparalleled terracotta warriors and horses, the Epang Palace in Xianyang, the ancient highway running through the capital to the border-Qinzhi Road, and the Great Wall to defend the Huns in the north. Due to the construction project, a large number of civilian workers were requisitioned, which made the people miserable and the world in chaos, and soon the revolution broke out. Although Qin Shihuang founded the first unified empire in China, the empire was very short-lived. After Qin Shihuang's death, the empire he founded soon perished in revolutions everywhere.
Haha, guys, the passage you took when entering the park is for active or retired soldiers, disabled or pregnant women。However, it's not a big deal. The management still allowed you to enter, which can be considered as a kind of care for your guests who have come from afar😝
Oops we had no idea 🤷🏼♀️
That's why Europe has been falling apart all along, there's no one like Qin Shi Huang who unified the six countries
There is a story about the Terra Cotta Warriors. A staff member in charge of photographing the Terra Cotta Warriors found a fingerprint on the lips of the Terra Cotta Warriors when he was photographing one of the Terra Cotta Warriors. At that time, he felt a sudden touch, that is, the craftsman who made the Terra Cotta Warriors more than 2000 years ago had some connection with modern people in this way.
I guess when they run the fingerprint, they wouldn't find a match in the current database😂
It’s incredible 😮
Created by the 1st Qin Dynasty Emperor (Qin Shi Huang) 221 BC to protect him in the afterlife. 👍 Awsome! keep these coming!
😊😊😊
The Qin Dynasty was a short but powerful dynasty. Qin Shihuang (The First Emperor of Qin) not only left the Terra Cotta Warriors, but also built an unimaginable palace. It is said that all the trees in a mountain were cut down to build the palace.🤯Unfortunately, this palace was completely destroyed by the rebels afterwards.😢In addition, he also used soil to pile up a large mountain on the flat ground as his tomb.
Very glad to see that you were able to visit my hometown, but it is really a pity that you didn't see the bronze chariots and horses that have move to other places. Your videos are also very popular at bilibili, maybe you can create a bilibili account.
✨✨✨✨👍👍👍👍

Emperor Qin Shi Huang didn’t go along with the traditional human sacrifice for royal tomb, he’d rather have this army. I admire him so much.
Those were brutal times period, I believe someone or his cabinet must had convinced him making these soldiers, avoided the traditional human sacrifice which saved many lives. An eternal army that don't die guarding his tomb must sounds more intriguing to him. The soldiers still being alive can continue protect their country while he is at rest.
This tradition was almost abandoned outside barbaric Qin, and Qin Shi Huang adopted it again to the worst extent. Do you know what happended to his consorts and craftsmen? Friend you should find someone else to admire.
@@sola4393 He killed all this craftsmen and workers who constructed the tomb, and his consorts were sacrificed too after his death. He's and his empire are the example of brutalness for all generations before and after him! Recently several tombs of tens of thousand killed captives were found in Hebei province, where the campaign of Changping happened. 400,000 Heibei soldiers were buried alive!🤮
@@wenyichen5515😂刻意用英文回复么？
并没有同期的史料记载工匠的下落。至于妃子，是秦始皇的儿子胡亥杀的，胡亥几乎杀光了秦始皇的所有子嗣和妃子，为了避免同族的人反抗他自己，这与秦始皇并没有直接关联。
至于长平之战，杀俘在古代并不是不存在的事情，即使在欧洲也常发生：邓巴战役中英格兰屠杀了苏格兰俘虏、玛雅人和印第安人不仅是士兵就连平民也遭受了灭族之灾。唯一的夸张的是，长平之战的规模是40万，可是当时的中国就已经可以养活这么多兵力了，这又不是为了刻意要杀40万人祭天，而是彼此的战争规模就达到了这个人数体量，如果欧美的战争体量也能达到这个人数，那你也会看到欧美造成40万俘虏死亡的场景，但这就也就是战争，多少比欧美在二战弄死上百万犹太资本家和平民的场景要合理一些。
而且如果仅仅是4万，就没必要杀俘虏了，就是因为40万才只能杀。当时秦国是举国力展开的长平之战，秦朝自己也没有多少粮食储备，都不用说看管的兵力，都没有粮食来给40万俘虏，所以留不下。至于放回去……之前的战争白打了么，把对方的有生兵力放回去，重新组织防守……这不是开玩笑么，太圣母了。反过来，秦国被赵国打败，并被俘虏40万，赵国也只能选择杀俘虏。彼此都耗尽了国力，谁都养不起40万俘虏。这本应是一场更惨烈的战争，但谁能想到40万赵国士兵投降了……
In Chinese history, the evaluation of First Emperor of Qin is mixed.
He killed many intellectuals at that time, but most of them were those who were good at deceiving and inciting the people with rhetoric.
He burned a lot of books, but most of them were about witchcraft. He kept the really important books in the palace.
(Some customs at that time were different from today's and cannot be judged directly by today's values. This is just like the Egyptian Pharaoh also killed a large number of workers who built the Pharaoh's tomb, but today's Western historians will not use this incident to evaluate an Egyptian Pharaoh. Not a tyrant)
He built the Great Wall, which blocked foreign attacks for many subsequent dynasties.
More importantly, First Emperor of Qin unified writing and weights and measures, which laid the foundation for China's long-term unification.
Of course, China has a long history and has had many civil wars, but this unified pattern has always existed and been maintained.
First Emperor of Qin made great contributions to the long-lasting spread of Chinese civilization, because the unified pattern helped preserve the uninterrupted Chinese civilization.
Whether some people like it or not, this is the truth!
If Europe had the opportunity to have a person similar to First Emperor of Qin, I believe the current world situation would be very different, Europe would be stronger! This is also one of the reasons why Alexander the Great is remembered in history.
First Emperor of Qin's achievements do not need to be liked to become real.
There is no point in discussing "facts" in terms of "like it or not".
⛄I have a feeling that the Mixue advertising department will contact you soon! haha 👍
Reach out to them and let them know haha 😂
It's a real pleasure watching your videos. A lovely couple travelling in a lovely peaceful country 👍👏❤️🇨🇳
Thank you both for such an incredible video.
Mixue should pay you guys ad fees😂
😂😂😂
8:15 i could here ppl nearby talking in cantonese lol
I guess no one would know cherry blossom was originally from Tibet china,people just think it’s from japan
We heard China gifted it to the Japanese many millennia’s ago 🤷🏼♀️🤷♂️
@@sunkissedbucketlistYes!Glad you guys know that!
Did you take the free shuttle bus to the Mausoleum Site Park in Li Shan? The entrance fee is included in your ticket.
No we didn’t know 😊
Great video! You visited much more cities in China than me
I signed up for a youtube account just to like and comment on your videos. You are the only people I follow.
Best comment! 😂 thank you!!
wow china the most high expectation,poor and rich rural life,today my birthday but 0 like
生日快乐！
Happy birthday 🎉
🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂
祝你生日快樂🎉🎉🎉
@@sunkissedbucketlist可以去华山！值得去！太美了
It's simply jaw dropping if you are fortunate to be able to visit. Scale is something that cannot be judged well on RUclips. I suggest visitors climb the unopened tree covered mausoleum hill itself to stretch the legs and get a view of the surrounding historic landscape.
Yes that’s very true! When you see it in person it is truly 😮😮😮
In fact, the Terracotta Warriors were coloured when they were first unearthed, but only grey because of oxidation, so you can imagine how real and spectacular they were when they were first built!
MIXUE：I'm come back~😎
Always entertaining and informative videos from you guys.
glad you like them 🥰
