Xi'an, the ancient capital of my country's thirteen dynasties, why did the tour guide repeatedly emphasize not to take photos with the Terracotta Warriors and Horses?

There are many cities in our country with rich cultural heritage. Take Xi'an as an example. It is our ancient Chang'an. For a city with very rich historical and cultural heritage, it has experienced the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the glorious period of 13 dynasties including the Tang Dynasty, the city of Xi'an can be said to be the most interesting city for us Chinese. As a very famous ancient city in history, there are a lot of tourists who come to this city every year, especially because a certain APP's bowl-shaking wine is also in Yongxingfang, Xi'an. Therefore, Xi'an has become popular, and Xi'an people also use the tourism industry Lord.

I also went to Xi'an this year. Speaking of the famous attractions there, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang must be the must-see attraction. It is understood that this scenic spot was discovered by an old man in Lintong County while digging a well in 1974, and he reported it to the local government. Later, the Cultural Relics Bureau came here to conduct exploration, and later through archaeologists and cultural relics experts During the investigation, the tombs of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were discovered.

Archaeologists began mining work. Because our country’s technology was limited at that time, the colorful terracotta warriors and horses that were excavated at that time changed within a few minutes. The color faded and turned into what we have now. See the earth color.

Later archaeologists discovered that the color was fading faster and faster, so they filled in the terracotta warriors and horses that had been excavated, leaving only the few pits we see now.

I believe that tourists who have been to the Xi'an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum have heard the tour guide tell you this: Do not take photos with the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and do not turn on the flash.

I believe that many friends do not know the reason. They are afraid that the flash will affect the color of the pottery figurines to change more strongly, making them difficult to preserve.

Secondly, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are funerary objects thousands of years ago and belong to the underworld. As for the taboos and opinions of Chinese people about underworld objects, it is better not to take photos with these objects and respect the deceased. , and also protected oneself.

I believe that many people will prepare gifts for relatives, friends at home and colleagues at the company when they go out. Before I went there, I thought about bringing back a terracotta warrior and horse to my friends when I came back. Later, the local The tour guide told the editor not to buy terracotta warriors and horses to take back, after all, they are burial objects and are unlucky. It can be seen that whether it is taking a group photo or buying souvenirs of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, it is not a good thing. After going there, it will be good to understand the history and culture of the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties at that time.

Some netizens have also said: It is the most unlucky place for dead people, and it is not recommended for pregnant women and people with weak constitutions to go there.

So, not being allowed to take photos is to protect yourself and respect the deceased.

Finally, based on the above factors, it is recommended that when you go out to visit tourist attractions in the future, you must abide by the management requirements of the scenic spots and respect every cultural relic.
