Did Qin Shihuang speak Shaanxi dialect?
In ancient times, there was no such thing as "Putonghua". The correct term is "Mandarin". The Mandarin spoken during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was the local dialect of Beijing, which is relatively close to the current Mandarin. Therefore, the official language of each dynasty is almost the dialect of the capital. It can be said that Qin Shihuang spoke Shaanxi dialect, but Shaanxi dialect at that time was very different from now. Due to several major turmoils in history, such as the "Five Husty Rebellion", the "Anshi Rebellion" and the "Jingkang Rebellion", a large number of Han residents in the north moved south, and a large number of Hu people entered the Central Plains and Guanzhong areas. The Hakka people in Guangdong and Fujian are the Han people who migrated to the north, but what they said is completely incomprehensible to us northerners. The current Shaanxi dialect is very different from that of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, a force of the Qin Dynasty was stationed in Guangzhou, which later became the "South Vietnam Kingdom". Their descendants are multiplying and reproducing, and maybe the current Cantonese is the former Shaanxi dialect. Did Qin Shihuang speak the Shaanxi dialect?
Hahahaha~ Impossible~ The pronunciation of ancient Chinese is similar to the dialects of Fujian and Guangdong in the south today. This is because the southern dialect retains many ancient pronunciations. This does not mean that what Qin Shihuang spoke must be southern dialect, but at least it is definitely not Shaanxi dialect. Did the emperor of the Tang Dynasty speak Shaanxi dialect? …
It depends on the time. In the early days, their family was from Shanxi, so they probably spoke Shanxi dialect. Later, they went to Luoyang, so they probably spoke Henan dialect.
Finally, they went to Chang’an, so they probably spoke Shaanxi dialect. Did Qin Shihuang speak Shaanxi dialect?
No. It should be that the elegant words of the Zhou Dynasty were used in the Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, Confucius would have to bring translators with him when he traveled around the world. Who is Qin Shi Huang? What do we know about the Qin Shi Huang era?

After the burial, Qin II ordered all the childless maids in the palace and the craftsmen who built the mausoleum to be buried in the tomb. Later generations have always been dubious about Sima Qian's magical records, but archaeological discoveries in recent decades have proven that Sima's records are basically credible. To the east of it was discovered the world-famous large-scale terracotta figurine pit, which contains about 7,000 warrior figurines, more than 100 horse chariots, more than 100 war horses, and thousands of various weapons. It is the "eighth wonder of the world".
