The fingerprints of craftsmen 2200 years ago were found on the lips of the Terracotta Warriors. Why is the photographer so excited?

Because photographer Zhao Zhen found the fingerprints on the Terracotta Warriors, it was like we stood by and watched the workers casting the Terracotta Warriors 2,200 years ago. This scene is very flexible and vivid. Although we are separated by thousands of years now, this fingerprint has narrowed our distance.

Photographer Zhao Zhen was invited to photograph the Terracotta Warriors, and he responded:? I was really shocked when I looked up and saw the fingerprints on his lips after taking pictures of the Terracotta Warriors? . When I saw him in an interview, I was so excited that I almost cried. Yes, in the ten years after the discovery of the Terracotta Warriors, no one found the fingerprints on the Terracotta Warriors, but Zhao Zhen did. He felt both honored and incredible.

I feel that I can see the workers who cast the terracotta warriors and horses at that time shaping the terracotta warriors and horses bit by bit, as if we had traveled 2200 years ago. This discovery has also added a lot of color to the history of Chinese cultural relics. I still remember that when the Terracotta Warriors were first discovered, many people speculated whether they were poured by living people. But it turned out that the Terracotta Warriors were only made of some soil embryos. Although it was made 2,200 years ago, you can still see that the expressions of each terracotta warrior are very vivid and the shapes are very similar to real people. Some terracotta warriors and horses also have some pigments. However, due to improper storage at that time, these paints were quickly oxidized after exposure to oxygen.

People thought that the discovery of terracotta warriors and horses would stop here. Unexpectedly, this fingerprint was discovered by photographer Zhao Zhen, which was really shocking. It turns out that if a craft is well done, it can be preserved for so long, just like the tombs of princes and nobles dug up in loess. Every instrument can bring us closer to the truth at that time and the living conditions of the ancients, making us feel that there is actually no 2200 years between us.
