Did meteorites really fall from the sky in the Qin Dynasty?

Hello! ! It is understood that "Myth" was inspired by a trip to Xi by screenwriter and director Tang Jili. According to records, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in China is the largest underground mausoleum in the world. The construction of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum began when he ascended the throne, which lasted for 38 years, eight years longer than the famous Egyptian pyramid of khufu. The number of people who used the mausoleum was close to 800,000, almost eight times that of the people who built pyramid of khufu. "Tang Jili once said," I have been to Xi 'an, and there are some things that I can't understand: how did such a big imperial tomb with 800,000 people be built in more than 30 years? This gave me the story of "myth". "This script was written by Tang Jili for more than two years, and it was filmed for three years in total. In the story, Tang Jili endowed the legendary falling meteorite fragments with magical power-it can suspend the surrounding objects. Tang Jili once looked up historical records and recorded that a meteorite fell in that year, which may be related to the construction of the imperial tomb, so he had a whim and a "weird" scene that could not be explained by physical science appeared on the big screen.

The full translation is as follows:

In the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor (2 1 1 BC), Mars invaded the heart (Xi, Xiu), symbolizing the emperor's disaster. A meteorite landed in Dong Jun and turned to stone after landing. Someone carved on that stone "When the first emperor died, the land was divided." When the first emperor heard about it, he sent an empire to inquire from house to house. No one confessed, so he arrested and killed everyone who lived around the stone and burned the meteorite. The first emperor was unhappy and asked the doctor to write a poem about immortals and real people. When he toured all over the world, he told musicians to play and sing everywhere. In autumn, the emissary took the night road from Kanto and passed Pingshu Road in Huayin. Someone stopped the messenger with a piece of jade and said, "Give it to Hao Chijun for me." Take the opportunity to say, "Zulong died this year." The messenger asked him why, but the man suddenly disappeared, put down the real jade and left. The messenger took back the jade jade and told the king of Qin what had happened to him. The first emperor was silent for a long time and said, "The ghosts in the mountains could only predict for one year." It was autumn, and the late Emperor said that this year's days were numbered and might not be fulfilled. When he retired from the DPRK, he said, "Zulong is the ancestor of mankind." Deliberately interpret "ancestor" as ancestor, and ancestors are all dead, so "the death of ancestor dragon" naturally has nothing to do with him. The first emperor showed the court the jade, which turned out to be the one that sank into the water when the first emperor was patrolling the river in the 28 th year. So the first emperor divined for this matter, and the result of divination was that migration was lucky. Relocation of 30,000 households to Beihe and Yuzhong areas, each with a title.
