Hidden Cultural Landmark in Handan: Exploring the Childhood of Qin Shi Huang

The Memorial Hall of Qin Shi Huang's Birthplace in Handan is located within Congtai Park in Handan City. It vividly showcases Qin Shi Huang's childhood years in Handan and the cultural background of the Zhao state through various forms such as relief sculptures and woodblock paintings. Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, was born in Handan, the capital of the Zhao state (present-day Handan City, Hebei Province). His father was a hostage prince of the Qin state, and his mother was Lady Zhao. Qin Shi Huang spent eight years of his childhood in Handan. This experience had a certain influence on the formation of his character and political views. To commemorate this historical connection, Handan City established a memorial hall near Qin Shi Huang's birthplace. The memorial hall uses a "narrative through paintings" approach, combining architectural landscapes with indoor exhibitions to tell historical stories in different sections. The exhibition area is divided into four parts: the West Exhibition Hall (foyer), the East Exhibition Hall (core exhibition area), the courtyard and garden, and the Qin-Zhao Imagination Zone. Outside the hall, there is a pavilion in the Ming and Qing architectural style, where visitors can climb up to enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful lake scenery in Congtai Park. Qin Shi Huang was born in Handan and died in Zhao territory. His birth is full of legendary stories, and his death remains a mystery. This city has an inseparable connection with Qin Shi Huang and influenced him throughout his life. It is a cultural ancient city with a history spanning more than 3,100 years. Handan is the memory of Qin Shi Huang...
