Terracotta Army
The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang were discovered in 1974, and then a large museum was built here, which was opened on the National Day of 1979.
After the opening of the world's rare Qin Terracotta Warriors Museum, it quickly caused a sensation at home and abroad. It is regarded as an ancient miracle and one of the most important archaeological discoveries in contemporary times.
Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses amazed the audience with their huge scale, magnificent scenes and superb scientific and artistic level.
With the Qin Terracotta Warriors Museum, the ancient city Xi soon became one of the most important tourist cities in China.
Tourists from home and abroad come here one after another, and most of the foreign heads of state and other distinguished guests who come to visit will put the visit to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses on the agenda.
The Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit is about 1.5 km east of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum. There are three pits, one, two and three.
The first pit was discovered by local farmers when they were drilling wells, and then the second and third pits were discovered one after another after drilling wells.
The first pit is the largest, with a length of 230m from east to west, a width of 6 12m and a total area of 14260m2.
There are about 6,000 life-size pottery figurines buried in this pit, and more than 1000 have been cleaned up so far.
It is unbelievable to find such a large, numerous and lifelike pottery figurines in the ground.
Entering the hall of the museum, I saw thousands of life-size warriors lined up neatly at a depth of 5 meters underground, all in bronze, with a height of 1.8 to 1.97 meters. They are magnificent and daunting.
There are 32 pottery horses as big as real horses.
Ma Tao is a group of four horses, dragging wooden chariots.
Terracotta Warriors and Horses are arranged in three rows facing east, with 70 warrior figures in each row, ***2 10, which seems to be the vanguard of the army array.
Followed by infantry and chariots, a total of 38 columns, each column is about 180 meters long, which seems to be the main body of the army array.
On the left and right sides, there is a horizontal team facing the north and south. Each team has about 180 soldiers, which seems to be the two wings of the army.
There is a column of warriors facing west at the western end, which seems to be the guardian of the army array.
Samurai and warrior are dressed in battle robes and armor, and the bronze weapons in their hands are all real objects. They were well organized and the team was cleaned up.
Dozens of war horses hissed with their heads held high, ready to go.
The whole army is ready to go.
The majestic military array represents Qin Shihuang's military achievements and dignity in order to accomplish the great cause of reunifying China.
The art history of these terracotta warriors and horses is of great value. The terracotta warriors and horses are based on real life, and their artistic techniques are delicate and vivid.
The costumes and expressions of the Terracotta Warriors are different.
There are many kinds of hairstyles, different gestures and different facial expressions.
From their costumes, expressions and gestures, we can tell whether they are officers or soldiers, infantry or cavalry.
There are veterans with beards who have fought many battles and young people who have just stepped into the battlefield.
Ordinary figurines, as high as 1.96 meters, stand upright and concentrate on thinking, showing a firm and powerful appearance.
The figure of a soldier, with his head slightly raised and his eyes looking straight ahead, looks high-spirited and childish.
The soldier is wearing a shovel, holding a long handle and pressing the car with his left hand, which shows that he is a defensive soldier.
In a word, pottery figurines have distinct personality and strong characteristics of the times.
These poems about horses and horses are a treasure house of sculpture art, adding luster to the splendid ancient culture of the Chinese nation and adding a glorious page to the history of world art.
Bronze weapons unearthed from Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit include swords, spears, halberds, machetes and a large number of crossbows and arrows.
According to the test data, these Cu-Sn alloy weapons have been chrome-plated. Although they have been buried in the soil for more than 2,000 years, their blades are still sharp and shiny, which shows that they already had high metallurgical technology at that time, which is a miracle in the world metallurgical history.
199 1 years ago, the Qin Terracotta Warriors Museum opened the No.1 pit.
199 1 September, No.3 pit was officially opened.
The area of No.3 pit is only one twenty-seventh of that of No.1 pit.
However, from the analysis of chariots, warriors and other artifacts unearthed from this pit, this pit may be used as the headquarters of pits 1 and 2.
