骊山 / Lishan
骊山 appears in Qinji 121 as a destination connected by roads from 极庙 / Qin Ji Miao after Qin Shi Huang’s return to 咸阳 / Xianyang. The episode places Lishan inside a broader capital-area network of ritual buildings, roads, covered passages, and celestial imitation.
In this reading, Lishan is not just a geographic point. It helps turn the Xianyang region into a staged imperial landscape in which roads and palaces mirror heaven, especially through Qin Cosmic Capital Planning / 秦代宇宙化都城规划.
Qinji 125-1 adds Lishan as the burial landscape of 秦始皇陵. The source says Qin Shi Huang begins the mausoleum when he first becomes Qin king, and after his death labor is redirected from 阿房宫 to Lishan so the emperor can be buried. Lishan therefore shifts from road-and-symbolic node into the project priority that helps leave Afang unfinished.
Qinji 127-4 makes Lishan the actual burial endpoint after the hidden-death and succession-crisis branch. The episode’s Lishan is not only a site of construction priority; it is where tomb mechanisms, mercury waterways, concubine burial, and artisan sealing turn the mausoleum into 陵墓保密杀戮.
Key Claims
- 骊山 / Lishan functions as one node in Qin Shi Huang’s Xianyang-area road-and-palace construction.
