The terracotta warriors of ancient China

[Sculpture-Carving]

The terracotta warriors present an image of the time when the Qin armies conquered the other rivaling states and united China.

The chariots, horses and soldiers were imitations of real ones, and they were arranged to stand in a combat formation. The formation includes three lines in the vanguard, each with 70 soldiers. The soldiers in the vanguard wear short Suits, have their hair in buns and hold bows. Most of them stand facing the east, their bright piercing eyes gazing at something in front of them. Behind them are the main body of soldiers and the war-chariot troops standing in 38 rows. All the soldiers in the main body wear armor and helmets. There are also three lines on the flank facing south, north and west and the rear guards.

The arrangement creates an atmosphere of grandeur, making viewers feel as if they, too, are actually on the battlefield. The decorations of the war-chariots and the weapons of the soldiers are all real objects, which adds to the power and strength of the sight.
