After the Terracotta Warriors were excavated, they shocked the world. Now they are world-renowned attractions and are known as one of the "Eight Wonders of the World." Many people who have been there were shocked, because the unearthed terracotta warriors are not only well-made and lifelike, but also have thousands of faces, each with different faces, and they look like real people. From this, a saying slowly spread that the "brutal" Qin Shi Huang hoped that he could have an army to protect his safety after his death, so he asked people to select a group of soldiers to make pottery figurines and bury them for him, so that he could continue to fight with him in all directions. To put it simply, every terracotta warrior has a real person and a real horse, which is why it is so real and different.
So, is this really the case? There was once a terracotta figure that had cracks due to an accident. In order to prove to everyone that there were no so-called "real people" inside, some experts conducted in-depth analysis of it, and also used a series of modern methods to operate and verify it, proving to some people that there were no human remains inside.
So, thousands of years ago, when technical means were not very high, how did the Qin people make these lifelike terracotta warriors with thousands of faces? According to expert analysis, the construction of terracotta warriors is a very huge project and the production process is very complicated. Based on reasonable speculation from historical data, it is possible that a group of soldiers were specially selected and craftsmen used them as templates to make molds. Then through a series of complex processes, the pottery figurines were made, fired and painted with various colors. The reason why the Terracotta Warriors are rich, vivid, and beautiful in color is due to the craftsmanship of the craftsmen and their investment at all costs. Imagine if there were really so-called "real people" inside, how scary would it be?
Although it is a long time ago, most of the terracotta warriors and horses have been discolored and their style is unmatched in their past, but they are still very shocking. Rows and rows of terracotta warriors are in formation. Some are archers who are capable of shooting every shot, holding bows and crossbows as if they are aiming at the target; some are soldiers wearing armor, wearing combat boots, and holding weapons in their hands, as if they can move to charge at any time... It makes people feel a sense of vitality.
Their demeanor is also different. Although most of the soldiers look firm, brave, and stand upright, there are also other things: some stare angrily, as if there is a great enemy of life and death in front of them; some frown tightly and are in deep thought, as if thinking about how to defeat the enemy; some are calm and relaxed, looking very leisurely, and may be winning; Some were overjoyed, perhaps they had just won a victory... They not only demonstrated the style of the Qin Empire's brave and skillful tiger and wolf army, but also vividly reflected the "various forms of all living beings".
Of course, there are so many terracotta warriors that everyone can only see part of it and have different ideas. This is one of the charms of the terracotta warriors. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses are just the tip of the iceberg of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin. Without careful consideration, one can not help but wonder how glorious and powerful the empire was thousands of years ago.
