Background

China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang Di, was just 13 years old when he came to the throne as the king of the Province of Kin. 25 years later, in 466 BC, he won the neighboring six countries and United China. Shortly after the arrival of the throne, he made his grave and created a huge and man-made army like humans, making clay or terracotta to regulate his safety and regression in the grave. For more than 7 million workers, he built an army of 8,000 soldiers for 36 years. Significant achievement of the most important and famous Emperor of China, is the standardization of Chinese characters, a set of coins and measurement system, reform of the agricultural system and the construction of defensive fortifications in China's southern border region, known as the Great Wall of China.

 Terracotta army invention and excavationAfter the construction of this terracotta army, unique discoveries of ancient civilization, nearly 2,000 years have passed, to discover them. In March 1974, some farmers in the Jiayang region of Xian, the royal city of China, came to a place covered with solid soil cover in hopes of water harvesting. There they found the mud made arms and legs and bronze buds. After digging this place, the archaeologists found some parts of the full size army.According to archaeological research, this precious army was built during the reign of King Qin Huang Dong. Later on, they discovered the invention of thousands of terracotta soldiers and horse statues, including human-shaped, totally human with emperor kin head grave. The graveyard is still intact and Chinese archaeologists excavate the grave after the proper investigation of already digested patterns has been completed. In December 1987, UNESCO recognized the huge tomb and all the soldiers made of this earth's soil as World Cultural Heritage Site.


Charming memorial tombs







King Kin Shir's graveyard is located in Linton near the Gian area of ​​Shanxi province. The emperor himself chose this place to build his own tomb, because there were huge amounts of gold and precious stones in the ground around this place. The tomb is about 56 square kilometers. Historical documentary studies have been reported that there are a whole fleet of Chwanati Malgari with thousands of terracotta soldiers in the tomb. It is believed that a garrison of 81 garlands around the tomb and tomb is still intact in the underground area. The tomb is not only the emperor's army and the architecture of the grave. According to the tradition of historian Sima Qian, this tomb can have a complete temple, along with wealth, paradise lakes and flowing rivers.

 The tomb is divided into three partsThis army museum in Teracott has three more rooms or vaults with an exhibition room. The arrangement of the whole tomb is closely related to ancient Chinese warfare. The tomb was turned towards the west, because the enemies of the Qin region took place on the west side of the region. In front of the tomb, there is a third room on the right side of the first room, the second room on the left side and the middle of the first and second chamber.

First cellThe first chamber of the tomb is the largest and deepest. To say, a dug-out airplane is equivalent to airplanes or aircraft garages. There are thousands of army figures in the room. It is believed that this room has a total of 6 thousand soldiers and horse statues. Each soldier stands on the east side and there is no weapon in every soldier's hand. The front row soldiers are standing in three rows in the entire east of the entire army. Just behind the armored armed army and 38 horse riding chariots. One row of soldiers standing on the north, south and west sides of the defense wall of the main army. In 1979, this room was opened to visitors. The room is 210 meters long, 62 meters wide. The height of the room ranges from 4 to 6 cm in height.

 Second cellExcavation works of the first and second rooms are still under process. The excavation of the second chamber started in 1976. It is about 20 meters high from the first cell. This room, in the entire mausoleum, unveils the mystery of the ancient army of China. This room, which lies across 6,000 square meters, is divided into four units, and 94 meters in length and 84 meters in the east-west and north-south respectively. The first unit has aligned archery forces. Second unit warlord chariot In the third unit, the army of infantry, cavalry and charioteer mixed arrangement. In this unit, many military forces are standing side by side with arms. And these four units combined together create a devious battle format.

 Third cell

The third is the smallest of three cells, the third is the smallest. Only 68 statues were found in this room and the heads of several statues were cut off. It is obvious that this room had positions of leading combatants.

 Category of statues of soldiers

So far, the digging of soils made of soils can be divided into three layers -

     Infantry force
     Cavalry and cavalry
     Ratty force

 The infantry forces can be divided into several sub-basins. Light armored forces, heavy armored infantry and standing and archery archers with high, middle and lower army commanders Roths can be divided into two parts - the charioteer and the charioteer.Characteristics of statues

Face: Each army image is unique from one to anotherAccording to the status of each statue, different expressions, dresses and hairstyles can be seen. Analyze the statues, it shows that there are roughly eight types of faces. And these eight faces are similar to eight letters of Chinese alphabet 目, 国, 用, 甲, 田, 由, 申, and.. For example, '目' shaped faces are relatively narrow and tall.If you can not surprise this huge amount of army forces, then you have to look a little closer to the statues to be astonished. Each of these thousands of statues is unique and there is absolutely no match between one and the other. It is surprising to see such a unique sculpture of pottery.


Hair typeIn ancient times, different hairstyles were not only part of life, but in some cases it was seen as a reflection of social status. These statues are analyzed by analyzing the two types of hair types and formations. First of all, the hair of the statue is deposited on the right side of the head and the hair of the other hair is padded like a rope, then tied on top of the head and covered with a cloth cover. Hairstyles, rubber bands and fitters are also used for hair cutting.

Dress or decorThese are made of clay cloth and the variety of decorations are so specific that when looking at clothing, the statue's military dignity and weapons are found. For example- a two-level outpost on the head of the commander is seen and an iron armor above which protects his chest and shoulder from the attack. The legs are shaped in a four-shaped shape and in front a slightly higher shoes. The armed fighters are quite heavy and the whole body is covered with a necklace, covered with a tight armor in front and back, which is used to protect their shoulders and shoulders.Corset costume costume again is different. They have pillbox hat on their heads, neck scarf and light armor in front of the chest and back. Their shoes are soft and the front is round so that there is no injury during the horse rush. For the sake of the chariot control, there was a more secure clothing arrangement for the charioteers. They used to wear helmets for their back cover.

ArmsSome of the statues have been found in ancient and original weapons of the time. For example, bronze sword, arrow-bow, spear and sniffer etc. At that time these weapons were specially designed to protect from rust. After 2,000 years of being buried, they still remain shy.Not only the army, there are animal statuesThe terracotta army museum is not only the statue of the army has been discovered. With about 8,000 soldiers, 130 raths and 670 horses have been discovered in this tomb. The makers of terracotta musicians, wrestlers and dancers are available. Besides, some cranes and ducks have been found. It is believed that King Qin Shi wanted to enjoy such a royal advantage even after his death, such as living a royal life during his life.

 Although parts of King Khin's grave are still intact and still the excavation work has not started. But if the technical development is not further developed, the excavation may take more than a hundred years to finish, said archaeologists.
