When we mention the Terra Cotta Warriors, we will think of the glorious History of China, the splendid civilization of the Qin Dynasty, and Ying Zheng, the Qin Shi Huang, who unified six countries... It is surprising that these artworks of superb craftsmanship can be linked with online terms such as dopamine, office workers, and watermark. Under the gaze of a new era and a new perspective, the Terra Cotta Warriors, which has been sleeping underground for more than 2000 years, has reached a new historical threshold and continues to break through the ground and shake the world with a new attitude. ▲ In the exhibition hall of the Qin Shi Huang Imperial Mausoleum Museum, the Terra Cotta Warriors are tall and powerful. On July 10, the craftsmen who provided pictures to the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Dynasty to "stamp" them, the national media "Read China from Cultural Relics" went to the Qin Shi Huang Imperial Mausoleum Museum to experience the hegemony and glory of the Qin Dynasty. The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is located in Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. Its scale and connotation are rich, and it is the top imperial mausoleum of all previous dynasties. The Terra Cotta Warriors Pit, located about 1500 meters to the east of the cemetery, was found in 1974 and is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". The Terra Cotta Warriors are an important symbol of Qin civilization. There are thousands of terracotta warriors in the magnificent and aggressive Terra Cotta Warriors pit. They are the same size as human beings, and they have restored a great Qin army to defeat the enemy. It is reported that the average height of the pottery figurines is 1.8 meters, which is the only one made in a 1:1 ratio among the tombs of ancient emperors. The three terracotta pits cover an area of over 20000 square meters. This huge and themed art group sculpture is unparalleled in the history of world sculpture. In 1987, Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and Terracotta Warriors became world cultural heritage. The ups and downs of history have silenced the magnificent Terra Cotta Warriors for thousands of years. With the unremitting efforts of generations of archeologists, the ancient Terra Cotta Warriors glow with new "life". Interestingly, during archaeological excavations and cultural relic restoration, experts found that there were still inscriptions on the legs, armor, and hidden parts of the figurines, with the production time, craftsman's name, and place of origin written on them...

Not only that, but also from the faces of the pottery figurines provided by the organizers, their age and personality characteristics, as well as their original living areas can be determined. These pottery figurines include southerners, northerners, Han Chinese, and ethnic minorities. From their image, there are middle-aged people, teenagers, and elderly people with wrinkles on their foreheads. Why did Qin Shi Huang make so many terracotta figures to bury himself? Tian Jing, vice president of the Qin Shi Huang Imperial Mausoleum Museum, said that it originated from the ancients' view of life and death. "They think that human death is just the death of the body and the immortality of the soul, but they want to live in another world, so they try their best to bring what they owned to the underground world." Tian Jing said that the cruel system of martyrdom emerged at the end of the Urgesellschaft. In the first year of Qin Xiangong's reign (384 BC), the state of Qin officially abolished the system of human sacrifice. However, they still believed in the immortality of the soul and believed that even figures made of clay, wood, stone, or metal buried underground could serve their souls.
