questions on the way to “find our genes(基因)”. “We hope to record the valuable moments of every
treasure. That is our purpose behind the show. ” said Li.

Emperor Qin Shi Huan’s Mausoleum Site Museum (秦始皇陵博物院). How to introduce these treasures

North-west China’s Shaanxi Province. Who hid it underground and why did they do so? There are so
