Ancient Tombs of the Qin Ancestors

　　The ancient tombs of the Qin ancestors in Li County are situated on the northern loess plateau of Dabaozi Mountain in Yongxing Township, Li County. Overlooking the mist-covered surroundings, the site features two main “zhong”-shaped tombs, each stretching 87 meters in total length with 12-meter-long inner chambers, along with two chariot pits—one 37 meters and the other 110 meters long. Nearby, there are also nine smaller tombs. In 1998, over 160 bronze artifacts were unearthed here, including ding (tripods), gui (food vessels), hu (wine vessels), he (ritual boxes), chariots, and swords. These relics provide valuable evidence for the study of the Qin ancestors and the historical, geographical, and cultural heritage of Li County.
