Extended data:

1978, two bronze carriages unearthed in the west of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum are complete in structure, beautifully decorated, exquisitely carved and exquisite in craftsmanship. Although these two bronze wagons were buried with the dead, the craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty faithfully imitated the manufacture of the real carriages of the Qin Dynasty by using the climax production technology, and vividly reproduced the original appearance of the royal carriages of Qin Shihuang.

The information and physical and chemical evidence contained in bronze wagons are of epoch-making significance to the study of ancient chariots and horses and related material culture in China, and are of great value to the study of smelting and bronze manufacturing technology and vehicle structure in Qin Dynasty.
