On this day 31 years ago, on October 16, 1994 (September 12, 1994 in the lunar calendar), the tomb of the artisan who built the Qin Mausoleum was discovered. On October 16, 1994, who created the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the magnificent Terracotta Warriors and Horses? The tomb of the artisan who built the Qin Terracotta Warriors discovered by archaeologists in Lintong, Shaanxi Province, and the unearthed epitaph proclaim: The working people are the creators of this great project, and it is their accumulated bones that build the eighth wonder of the world. In the archaeological work of the Qin Mausoleum and the Qin Terracotta Warriors, archaeologists have successively discovered three burial areas for Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum cultivators (including terracotta warriors and craftsmen): First, in the north of Zhaojia Beihu Village, Lintong, 103 Qin Dynasty tombs were found, with 2 to 3 people buried in each tomb, up to 14 people buried; from the rudimentary degree of the tombs and preliminary research on the bones, it can be confirmed that this is the tomb of the Xiuling people, and most of the buried people died of exhaustion or illness, and some died of old age. In addition, some corpses have traces of knife cuts on them, which prove that they were killed. The second is in the western part of the village, found a 100 meters long, 12 meters wide large-scale graves, filled with layers of corpses, its condition is terrible, proved that there are many people to repair the mausoleum, and the burial after death is sloppy. Third, next to the old grinding wheel factory in Lintong, the preliminary discovery of 28 tombs of Xiu Ling people, after preliminary exploration, there may be hundreds of such tombs. Yuan Zhongyi, director of the Qin Ling Museum, told reporters that in the discovery of the tombs of the group of Xiu Ling people, the most precious is the discovery of 18 pieces of text engraved on the residual tiles of the Qin Dynasty in the tombs of Zhao Family Beihu Village, which records the names and identities of 19 Xiu Ling people, which is the earliest epitaph in our country. For example, "Ganyu De" is engraved on the remnant tiles, indicating that a craftsman named "De" came from Ganyu County, Jiangsu Province. From the 18 brief epitaph texts, it can be learned that after Qin's unification of the six kingdoms, the Xiuling and terracotta craftsmen used have surpassed the Qin Dynasty and gone as far as Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei and other places, once again confirming the records of "Qin Shi Huang's Book" in the "Records of History" about "the first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning and governed the Lishan Mountain". After "and the world", the records of "the disciples of the world sent more than 700,000 people" to build the mausoleum are indeed true.
