■ Part 1. Qin Shi Huang, the Emperor of the Empire
An exciting time travel journey to uncover all the truths surrounding Qin Shi Huang!
Today, China has become the world's greatest superpower. A population of 1.3 billion from 55 ethnic groups lives in perfect order across a vast territory under the single name of China. The concept of "One China" begins with the Qin dynasty, which achieved the great feat of unification for the first time in Chinese history 2,000 years ago! At the center of it all is Qin Shi Huang! The territory of the Qin dynasty was comparable in size to a continent. It was larger than the empires ruled by the Pharaohs of Egypt, and this massive nation lasted for more than 1,000 years longer than Rome. How, then, was this possible? How did Qin Shi Huang rule this vast country, and what secrets lie hidden within his rule? However, despite his great achievements, Qin Shi Huang is often evaluated as a tyrant or a madman. Is an evaluation based solely on Sima Qian’s Records of the Grand Historian justified? We examine his arduous journey, during which he spent half of his reign touring the country and implementing policies to improve the people in order to maintain a unified empire. Through interviews with world-renowned scholars, we analyze the misconceptions and truths surrounding him.
■ Part 2. The Eternal Empire: The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang
“Sasa-yeo-sasaeng” (Being the same in life after death). He was a hero in life and wished to remain a legend after death.
Dreaming of immortality, he created an eternal resting place underground.
Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this is the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor to unify China. The entire tomb is a single underground palace. The world's greatest underground tomb, shrouded in mystery for 2,000 years, has endlessly stimulated the curiosity of people around the world.
The massive burial mound rising above Qin Shi Huang's tomb was the center of the world, and the Terracotta Army was a vast underground guard. There are as many as 180 supporting burial pits surrounding the burial mound. The artifacts discovered here serve as a window into the history and civilization of over 2,000 years ago, offering a wealth of stories. The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang—the world's largest and finest, a mysterious structure capable of stimulating the imagination of humanity worldwide. Drawing on myth and historical imagination, this program perfectly restores the veiled Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang using high-tech 4K 3D computer graphics.
