Xi 'an, the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty in China, why did the tour guide repeatedly emphasize not to take photos with the Terracotta Warriors?

Also, many people will prepare gifts for relatives and friends at home and colleagues in the company when they go out to play, and they also want to bring a terracotta warrior back to their friends when they come back. However, some local tour guides should not buy the Terracotta Warriors back. After all, it is unlucky to be buried with them. Obviously, it is not good to take a group photo or buy souvenirs of terracotta warriors and horses. It's good to know about the history and culture of Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties after going there.

Many cities in our country have a very rich heritage. Xi 'an is such a city. It was called Chang 'an in ancient times. Such a city has a very rich historical and cultural heritage. Experienced the glory of Qin, Han and Tang dynasties 13. It can be said that for China people, this is a city full of intrigue. As a famous isolated city in history, thousands of tourists come to visit the ancient city every year, and tourism has become a pillar industry of Xi.

Speaking of Xi's famous tourist attractions, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum must be visited. It is reported that this scenic spot was discovered by 1974 in Lintong County. After the local farmers discovered it, the Cultural Relics Bureau came here for exploration. Later, after investigation by archaeologists and cultural relics experts, the tomb of Terracotta Warriors was discovered. Due to the limited technical level at that time, these terracotta warriors and horses changed qualitatively in less than ten minutes after they were unearthed. The color of the Terracotta Warriors changed from the color at that time to the khaki Terracotta Warriors we see now.

But people who have been here must have heard that the tour guide will repeatedly remind you not to take photos with the Terracotta Warriors. What is the specific reason?

First of all, due to the confidentiality and uniqueness of management, we were asked not to take photos with the Terracotta Warriors. Moreover, they are worried that the flash will once again affect the quality changes of the terracotta warriors and horses, which is difficult to preserve.

Secondly, the pottery figurines were used when Qin Shihuang was buried thousands of years ago. In our view, they are actually buried objects in the underworld. According to our taboo and statement about obscene articles, not taking photos with them is not only a respect for the deceased, but also a protection for ourselves.
