Overview

The Museum of Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses, also known as the Terracotta Army or Qin Terracotta Warriors, is a burial pit for the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. It is known as the eighth wonder of the world, where over a thousand unearthed terracotta warrior figures, each with a unique appearance and vivid expression, are a shining pearl in the history of ancient Chinese sculpture. Emperor Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng began constructing his mausoleum when he ascended the throne at the age of 13, employing nearly 720,000 laborers over 38 years. The mausoleum was not completed until his death. Legend has it that Qin Shihuang spent countless human, material, and financial resources to build an underground palace for himself, and the Terracotta Warriors were the guardians of this underground palace. The Qin Terracotta Warriors can be described as a typical and the pinnacle of burying effigies in place of human sacrifices. The Terracotta Warriors strictly imitate real objects, possessing the nature and characteristics of portrait sketching, and are even more impressive in scale and grandeur, which is one of the reasons why they are so astonishing. Among them, Pit 1 of the Terracotta Warriors is the earliest excavated and largest pit, where you can see a massive army of terracotta soldiers standing in the pit, each with different expressions and forms. Every soldier is lifelike, from their armor to their expressions, and from their weapons to the lines on their palms, everything is awe-inspiring.
