This year marks the 50th anniversary of the archaeological excavation of the Terra Cotta Warriors and the 45th anniversary of the founding of the Museum of the First Emperor Qin Mausoleum. "The 50th Anniversary of the Archaeological Excavation of the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Dynasty and the International Conference on the Protection and Research of the Great Site of the the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor" was held at the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum on August 8. "The Terra Cotta Warriors are a wonder in the history of world cultural relics exhibitions, and also the 'golden card' of China's cultural heritage diplomacy. They have played an irreplaceable role in enhancing the awareness of the Chinese nation community, promoting exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign civilizations, and participating in global cultural heritage governance. They have made unique contributions by telling the story of the Terracotta Warriors, spreading the Chinese voice, and presenting ancient China and modern China comprehensively, stereoscopically and truly." Li Gang, the director of the Mausoleum Museum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, said. It is reported that the Mausoleum Museum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang has received more than 230 foreign heads of state and political figures, and has received over 160 million visitors from home and abroad, becoming a globally renowned cultural tourism destination and a model for the protection, research, and revitalization of cultural heritage. Since its first exhibition in Japan in 1976, the Qin Mausoleum cultural relics have toured 277 times in nearly 200 cities in 49 countries and regions, attracting 20 million visitors. In addition, the Mausoleum Museum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang actively leverages the influence of Qin terracotta relics to carry out international exchanges and cooperation. It has signed a series of cooperation agreements and memorandums with multiple foreign institutions such as Germany, Belgium, and the United Kingdom, promoting the international promotion and dissemination of China's cultural relics protection concept. According to Li Gang, 50 years of archaeological work has clearly defined the overall layout characteristics of the the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, which is centered on the enclosure of soil, surrounding the enclosure of soil to form an inner and outer city pattern and the distribution of burial pits, as well as the planning and design concepts of simulating the capital pattern, political system, court life, social culture, military system and other contents of the Qin Empire; The abundant and highly valuable unearthed relics reflect the material culture, technological achievements, and institutional civilization before and after the unification of the Qin Dynasty. Over the past 50 years, the cultural relic protection and archaeological work of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum has achieved a leap from simple archaeological excavations to national level cultural relic protection bases. The talent team has also developed from more than ten excavators to hundreds of professional archaeological and cultural preservation teams today, paving a new path for interdisciplinary and international cooperation in large-scale archaeological engineering. From the shocking "Great Discovery of the 20th Century World Archaeological History" to the proposal of the working principle of "excavation, protection and display at the same time", the Qin Terra Cotta Warriors pit site provides experience and model for the protection and display of China's large-scale archaeological heritage while letting the audience appreciate the "eighth wonder of the world"; From the restoration and reconstruction of the "Bronze Crown" bronze chariot and horse after 8 years, to the temporary fixed extraction and protection of fragile cultural relics in archaeological sites, excellent technology and craftsmanship not only demonstrate the craftsmanship spirit of cultural relics workers, but also demonstrate the advanced level of excellence in the field of Chinese cultural heritage protection.
