Palace of Li Zicheng
Li Zicheng Palace is located on Panlong Mountain in the north of Mizhi County, and is now included in the campus of Mizhi No. 1 Middle School. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, after Li Zicheng established the Dashun Kingdom in Xi’an, he ordered people to build a palace and an ancestral tomb here, and the name of the mountain came from this.

There is also an exhibition of the revolutionary history of Mizhi women in the palace. Panlong Mountain was formerly known as Ma’an Mountain. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhenwu Patriarch Temple was built in the mountains. In the 16th year of Chongzhen (1643), after King Li Zicheng established the Dashun regime in Xi’an, he sent his nephew Li Guo back to Mizhi to sweep the tomb. Li Guo led 30,000 troops to station at the foot of the mountain, and expanded the Zhenwu Patriarch Temple on the mountain into a palace. In November of the same year, Li Zicheng personally led an army back to Mizhi to attend the funeral. He was very happy to see the majestic building of the palace, so he named the mountain Panlong Mountain, the main hall of the palace was Qixiang Hall, and the rear hall was Zhaoqing Palace. After the failure of Li Zicheng’s uprising, the local people built a statue of Zhenwu Patriarch to protect the buildings, and the palace was turned into a temple. In recent years, the local government has repaired the palace, restored its original scale and landscape, and established the Li Zicheng Memorial Hall to introduce his life and deeds. In the main hall, there is a FRP statue of Li Zicheng. At present, the Mizhi County Museum is also located in the palace, and the museum displays the Eastern Han Dynasty stone and other historical relics unearthed in Mizhi.

Terracotta Army Pit 3 Site
Following the No. 1 and No. 2 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pits, on May 11, 1976, another burial pit was discovered 25 meters north of the west end of the No. 1 pit. According to the order of discovery, it was numbered as the No. 3 pit. The No. 3 pit of the Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses is located on the north side of the west end of the No. 1 pit, opposite to the No. 2 pit in the east and west, 25 meters south of the No. 1 pit, 120 meters east of the No. 2 pit, with an area of about 520 square meters. The overall shape is concave, consisting of north and south wing rooms and a carriage and horse house. There is a four-horse chariot and four terracotta warriors in the carriage and horse house. A total of 68 terracotta warriors and horses can be unearthed from the No. 3 pit. Judging from the internal layout of the No. 3 pit, it should be the headquarters of the No. 1 and No. 2 pits. The No. 3 pit is the only pit among the three pits that has not been burned by fire, so when it was unearthed, there are more painted remains on the pottery figurines, and the colors are brighter. In the wars before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the commanders often had to lead the troops and charge into battle, so they often had to be in front of the troops. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as the scale of wars increased and the methods of warfare changed, the position of the commander began to move to the central army. The Qin Dynasty separated the command from the central army, which was a major step forward in the development of military tactics. The command was separated to study and formulate a rigorous combat plan, and more importantly, the personal safety of the commander was further guaranteed. This is an important sign of the maturity of ancient military tactics. The building structure, the arrangement of pottery figurines, the equipment of weapons, and the unearthed cultural relics all have certain characteristics. It provides precious information for studying the ancient command structure, divination and battle rituals, the system of commanding generals, and the clothing and equipment of the supporting uniforms.
