Not long after we walked, we came to a gate. After we entered, it was the location of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit. The first thing we visited was the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

It was almost evening, and there were so many people from afar.

Our country was the first to smelt copper, and many exquisite utensils were made from copper.

Before paper was invented, it was written with bamboo slips.

These two vehicles are four-horse single-coil, assembled from 3,400 parts and components. The craftsmanship is exquisite and the shape is lifelike. They are the earliest unearthed cultural relics in my country, the most complete driving equipment, the highest level, and the most refined bronze treasures. , Is also the world's largest bronze ware discovered by archaeology.

This is where the pottery figurines were found.

There was an endless stream of visitors.

This is 1974. A local farmer drilled a well and found a pair of broken pottery figurines.

These brave warriors, wearing armors and riding war horses, have strict military disciplines, standing one by one, for more than 2,000 years.

Pit No. 1 is the largest of the Qin warriors. It is 230 meters long from east to west, 62 meters wide, and has a total area of 14,260 square meters. So far, 4,000 square meters have been excavated.

Pit No. 2 is the essence of the Qin warriors. It covers an area of 6000 square meters and consists of four units. The four square formations are composed of cavalry, chariots, and crossbowmen. It is strictly orderly and impeccable.

This is a typical cultural relic unearthed in the second pit.

The standing warriors are a special type of troops among the Qin warriors. The weapons they hold are crossbows, and together with the standing warriors, they form a square crossbowman.

The kneeling warriors are the same as the standing warriors, and their arms are crossbows, and together with the standing warriors, they form an army of crossbowmen.

Warrior warriors and ordinary soldiers, as the main body of the army formation, are the most unearthed in the Qin warrior pits. They can be divided into two categories according to their clothing, namely, warriors and armored warriors.

The cavalry warriors are mostly used for surprise attacks in wartime.

The high-ranking warrior figurines, commonly known as the generals, are very few of the Qin figurines, and less than 10 unearthed, which are divided into two types: war-running generals and armored generals.
