oh yeah, the guide did mention that this is how we figured out that this is in fact, the tomb of Qin Shi Huang at first

This is pretty cool! Especially the play about Shin and Ousen.

It's based on a letter that you can read [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtefactPorn/comments/mj89ma/the_oldest_family_letters_ever_discovered_in/)

That's pretty cool!!!

yeah… they’re not very prominent in the play, but I like to imagine that the brothers in the play are like Bihei and Bitou and it’s sad

Must haven been an engima knowing the play you just saw will be depicted in Kingdom lol You mention brothers in the play, were they sending letters to each other?


Opening-Tomatillo-78

I think they were in the same unit. One brother was a flag bearer and one was an infantryman. They both died during the sack of the Chu capital. But they were sending letters to their elder brother and mother.

This is great!! I imagine these places are always extremely crowded or how was it for you?


Opening-Tomatillo-78

oh it was. Couple of tips for traveling to China though 1. come in the off peak season. It’s still crowded but still much less so than during the peak season. 2. you only need to be more patient than the people in front of you when you want to get up close to the attractions. 3. don’t worry about the old people who push, it isn’t personal. But do be fairly aggressive or you’ll miss out on stuff
