Why were the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and Terracotta Warriors built in Lintong?

1. The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is located 5 kilometers east of Lintong County, about 37 kilometers away from Xi 'an, with Lishan Mountain in the south and Weishui in the north. Why is it here? Some people say that this is inseparable from ancient feudal superstitions. The ancients paid attention to feng shui after burial. This position is just transparent from north to south, overlooking the whole country. It also represents that Qin Shihuang still remembers this country after his death. You should know that the Terracotta Warriors were buried with Qin Shihuang, because its capital was Xianyang at that time, and Qin Shihuang chose to set the mausoleum in Lintong next to Xianyang, so the Terracotta Warriors will naturally be here. 2.
