Zheng Guo Canal: From a strategy to exhaust Qin to a strategy to strengthen Qin

Zheng Guo Canal, located on the north bank of Jing River, 25 kilometers northwest of Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province, was built under the supervision of Zheng Guo, a water conservancy expert from Han, in 246 BC (the first year of King Zheng of Qin). It is one of the earliest large-scale water conservancy projects built on the Guanzhong Plain. In the late Warring States period, among the seven feudal states of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han, Qin was growing rapidly and was eyeing the other six states. Han, located on the key route for Qin to exit Hangu Pass and advance into the Central Plains, could be swallowed by Qin at any time. In 246 BC, King Huan of Han, in a state of constant fear and desperation, adopted a very crude so-called 'exhausting Qin' strategy: he sent the famous water engineer Zheng Guo to Qin to persuade Qin to dig a large irrigation canal between Jing River and Luo River (both tributaries of Wei River). On the surface, it was to develop Qin's agriculture, but the real purpose was to exhaust Qin's strength, delay Qin's eastward advance, and gain a respite. After Zheng Guo arrived in Qin, he persuaded King Qin to dig a canal, diverting Jing River to Luo River, and irrigating the land along the river. Ying Zheng, who had just ascended the throne, wanted to develop water conservancy and accumulate strength to prepare for the unification of the six states. So, he quickly accepted this attractive suggestion and immediately recruited more than 100,000 workers and a large amount of materials, appointed Zheng Guo to supervise the construction, and launched the most magnificent and spectacular water conservancy project at that time. During the construction process, Han's 'exhausting Qin' plot was exposed, and King Qin was furious and wanted to kill Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo defended himself by saying: 'At first, I was a spy, but when the canal is completed, it will also benefit Qin. I delayed Han's life for a few years, but I have made a great contribution to Qin for thousands of generations.' Ying Zheng was a far-sighted politician. He thought Zheng Guo made sense, and the project also needed Zheng Guo. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to continue to use Zheng Guo and let him be responsible for the project to the end. The project took ten years to complete and was named Zheng Guo Canal. The Zheng Guo Canal project took advantage of the high northwest and low southeast terrain, built a stone dam on the Jing River in the northwest of Jingyang County, intercepted the river water, raised the water level, and introduced it into the main canal. The main canal was arranged at the highest point of the irrigation canal, extending eastward along the foot of the north mountain, passing through Jingyang, Sanyuan, Fuping, Pucheng and other counties, and finally flowing into Luo River south of Jincheng Village, Pucheng County. Along the way, it cut off the rivers along the mountain, incorporated the smelting water, clear water, turbid water, and Shichuan water into the canal to increase the water volume. In an area of 300 li, Zheng Guo Canal formed a dense irrigation system like a spider web between the three rivers of Jing, Luo, and Wei in the northern part of the Guanzhong Plain. The completion of Zheng Guo Canal allowed the scarce rainfall and poor land of Guanzhong to be irrigated, greatly improving the agricultural production in Guanzhong. The Guanzhong Plain gradually became the granary of Qin. Six years after the completion of Zheng Guo Canal, Qin destroyed Han, and Han, who had thrown out the 'exhausting Qin' strategy, was wiped out. Fifteen years after the completion of Zheng Guo Canal, Qin destroyed the six states and achieved unification of the world.

For thousands of years, in order to be rich and wealthy, gold and silver jewels, the tomb thieves who went to the tombs are always presenting endlessly. However, in the vast stolen tombs, the royal tombs have often become the first choice for the tomb thieves because of the vastness of the baby. In the change of history, there is simply no one who survived the mausoleum of the emperor, and was simply "disturbed by the dream." Of course, there are also headaches for the tomb thieves, that is, Wu Zetians "Wan Nian Shou" - Fuling.

The tomb and murals of Prince Zhang Huai of the Tang Dynasty

The tomb of Prince Zhang Huai is composed of a tomb passage, a transition hole, a well, a corridor, a front tomb room, and a rear tomb room, with a total length of 71 meters. There are 6 small niches on the east and west walls of the second to fourth wells, where tri-colored tomb-guarding beasts, tri-colored standing figurines, horse-riding figurines, ceremonial figurines, pottery standing figurines, pottery horses, painted pottery, and green-glazed flower pots are placed. There are more than fifty groups of murals in the tomb of Prince Zhang Huai, covering an area of more than 400 square meters, most of which are well preserved.

The Beauty of Qianling: Appreciating the Magnificence and Glory of Ancient Royalty!

Qianling, one of the dazzling eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, is located on Liangshan, six kilometers north of the county seat of Qian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. Here lie Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian, jointly guarding their royal dream. The mausoleum city wall is heavy, each side of the inner city has its own characteristics, with a total length of more than 5,300 meters and a total area of nearly 2.4 million square meters, fully demonstrating the royal majesty. Qianling was built in the first year of Tang Guangzhu in 684 and completed the main construction in the second year of Shenlong in 706. The unique architectural style of the mausoleum based on the mountain makes it stand out. The most eye-catching here is the grand layout of the mausoleum and the many exquisite Tang Dynasty stone carvings, which are like witnesses of history, telling the past glory. In addition to the main tomb, Qianling also has seventeen small accompanying tombs, witnessing the life and death of the royal family and meritorious officials. Qianling, with its intact main tomb preservation status, has become the best among the eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty and is the only Tang tomb that has not been robbed. On March 4, 1961, Qianling was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council, establishing its important position in China's historical and cultural heritage. Time flies, on April 18, 2023, the Qianling site officially became the fourth batch of national archaeological site parks, officially joining the national team's big family. This honor is not only an affirmation of Qianling's historical value, but also an expectation for its future protection and development.

Today I would like to tell a few words about Chinese pyramids. This is Qianling 乾陵。There is probably the hugest pyramid in the world. its height is about 300 m. Xianyang / Xi'an surroundings counts more than 200 pyramid-shaped hills where emperors, their wifes, princess, generals and high ranked servants were buried. Most famous mound belongs to the Qing Shi Huang Di. But we will try to understand what does make Qianling special. At first, we have to note, that all mounds were made from pressed soil, and only Qianling demonstrates stone walls. Qianling actually is considered as a mountain, there is accurately avoided fact to name it pyramid. In this location (photo is presented) we can see two other mounds, those belongs to Wuza Tian empresses and her husband. These two really looks like non professional replica compared to tall mountain))))) Fact number two. All mounds construction / creation process was documented with details by lovely writing ancient Chinese bureaucrats, except... Qianling mountain. Tourists are not allowed to climb Qianling, but it's easy to do. Just turn right from tourist path, come around and start to climb trough the forest from back side. Well, the no name pyramid welcomes you and gives you understanding of the situation. Ancient people tried to copy, to replicate gorgeous monument, but their effort resulted in simple soil hills construction. My wife and I have visited almost all big mounds in Shaanxi plain area, but only Qianling lonely and forgotten pyramid is made of rock with its big stone steps like a huge stair. It looks so old, ancient, even archaic. You will feel that, the pyramid had stood before Chinese ancient civilization bloom, watched epoch by epoch, and it is still standing now. How to get there : from Xi'an 城西客运站 just take a intercity bus to 乾县，busses departs every 30-40 minutes. From 乾县站 after arriving take a cabby (10 min) or any public bus (30 min) to the Qianling 乾陵。 #tripaway#triplocal
