Photographer Zhao Zhen found fingerprints on the lips of the Terracotta Warriors. How did you feel when you first watched the variety show?

I first saw this video on a short video platform. When I brushed this video, I didn't know what it meant at first, but after watching it, I couldn't help but get excited and tears rolled in my eyes. I not only sigh, maybe where we stand, there were ancient people standing here more than 2000 years ago, working hard for the world.

Photographer Zhao Zhen's discovery is not only a great archaeological discovery, but also a great cultural discovery in China. There are 5,000 civilizations in China, and how many celebrities have fought for them will lead to our present life. A small fingerprint, a casual look up, is a dialogue that goes through 2000. There are many civilizations in this world, they are silent, they have no written introduction, they have left no trace, and they have tried to keep their share of existence in natural and man-made disasters. Qin Shihuang ordered the manufacture of Terracotta Warriors and Horses, leaving a mark of history. The owner of this fingerprint participated in this great masterpiece that made the world lament. After more than 2,000 years of historical evolution, the craftsman's fingerprints and the terracotta warriors and horses he created were rediscovered, which was impossible for many human beings and civilizations, and he did. One day more than 2000 years later, he left his applause for the world in an unknown way.

On the one hand, the Qin craftsmen who made the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and on the other hand, the photographers who shoot the Terracotta Warriors and Horses now, their dialogue across the Millennium seems to be the dialogue of the whole era. According to photographer Zhao Zhen, he choked up when he found the fingerprints on the mouth of the Terracotta Warriors. Fingerprints spanning more than 2,000 years are burning our hearts at that moment, and history and reality are intertwined at this moment. Zhao Zhen seems to have traveled 2,000 years ago and witnessed craftsmen carefully carving the statue. This should be eternal.

We are very happy to be born in a country with a long history. This terracotta warrior statue shows us what craftsman spirit is. It shows us the moment when the dusty history of more than 2,000 years was illuminated by sunshine, shows us the dialogue between modernity and history, and makes us feel the shock of history.
