Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pictures+Introduction

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum are located in Xiahe Village, 5 kilometers east of Xi Lintong, Shaanxi Province, China.

The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, was built from 246 BC to 208 BC, which lasted for 39 years. It is also the first large-scale and complete imperial mausoleum in China. The existing mausoleum is 76 meters high, and the layout of the cemetery is similar to Xianyang, Qin Dou, which is divided into two cities, with an inner city of 2.5 kilometers and an outer city of 6.3 kilometers. The mausoleum is located in the southwest of the inner city, facing east from west, and houses coffins and funerary objects. It is the core of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum complex and has not yet been excavated.

According to the current research, the pit of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses is located about 1.5km east of the wall of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum. It is generally believed that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang are located outside the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, which means guarding the Mausoleum and are an organic part of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

build

After Qin Shihuang ascended the throne (13 years old), he began to build his own mausoleum (246 BC or 247 BC). The construction process lasted for 39 years. The mausoleum of Qin Shihuang covers a total area of 50 square kilometers, including the present Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is the only mausoleum in the world. It is more like a city than a mausoleum. First of all, all kinds of raw materials are strictly sourced, and many of them are collected from specific producing areas and mined and processed by specialized craftsmen. A lot of manpower and material resources were used in the construction process. Some people think that up to 700,000 people will participate in the construction project.

[editor] figurines and their weapons

Terracotta warriors and horses are named after the pottery figurines were used as funerary objects. Life-size pottery figurines are processed and fired by craftsmen one after another, all by hand, without using molds. So the terracotta warriors and horses we see now have different appearances and postures. All the terracotta warriors and horses are made according to Qin Jun, including officials at all levels, arms, chariots and horses. After modeling, the pottery figurines are colored and fired. Finally, add real weapons and equipment. After each processing, they will be placed one by one according to the arms and levels deployed by Qin Jun, so the terracotta warriors and horses we see are exact replicas of Qin Jun. Because the figurines perfectly reproduce the style of Qin Jun, military scholars can better understand "Qiang Qin" through them. Because the prototype of the pottery figurines may be real Qin Jun soldiers, some researchers try to understand the customs of the Qin Dynasty through their appearance.

When people first saw the Terracotta Warriors, the colors of their clothes and weapons were still very bright, and they have maintained a strong power for two thousand years. However, when archaeologists excavated them, due to the influence of air oxidation, they gradually peeled off and disappeared within a few minutes, leaving only the clay color we see now.

Inspired by the analysis of terracotta warriors and horses and their weapons, Qin Jun's bow and arrow troops are equipped with various arrows to deal with complicated situations.

Chi doesn't wear a helmet. Some experts said, "You don't wear a helmet to show heroic momentum on the battlefield and overwhelm the enemy. Some experts said it was because Dao had not been equipped with troops on a large scale at that time. At that time, infantry weapons mainly used "assassination weapons", such as halberds and swords. Infantry combat, long-distance use of "halberd", melee with a sword. Because most of these weapons are made of bronze, they have poor toughness and are easy to break when chopping, so they are mostly made into assassination weapons. Using these "assassination weapons", most of the attack parts are the chest and abdomen, so most of the Qin terracotta warriors and horses are covered with breastplates. Qin Jun doesn't wear a helmet, because his head is unlikely to be "cut off" in battle.
