The Terracotta Warriors and Horses are known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World", and when the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were discovered in March 1974, all the world was shocked, the total area of the burial pit was more than 20,000 square meters, and about 7,000 pieces of terracotta carriages and horses and terracotta warriors were buried, and each of them was very well-made, and each clay figurine was also exquisite and very realistic. But then everyone wondered why there was a wall between each column of terracotta warriors. What is the purpose of this wall? Why don't experts dig this wall?
For large tombs, the most headache is the geological changes and underground seepage, standing terracotta figurines are more fragile, as long as there is a slight geological shaking will lead to the tipping and breaking of the terracotta figurines, even the weight of the soil will lead to damage to the terracotta warriors, and the terracotta warriors can be preserved so well to praise the designer, restore the entire tomb construction process, the entire terracotta pit layout is very reasonable, the structure is also very peculiar, in the experts to excavate the tomb, experts will first determine the scale size Then dig a large pit five meters deep according to the scale and lay the foundation.
Then 10 earthen walls were built to divide the entire grave into 11 parts, one every 3 meters, so these earthen walls were equivalent to load-bearing walls when the tombs were built at that time, to ensure that these terracotta warriors were not crushed. In fact, there were buildings on the top of the Terracotta Pit before, just like the basement, there was a roof, in order to support the roof, the pit will have columns and these walls to bear the weight, to ensure that the roof will not collapse. So inside is the ordinary wall soil, there is no treasure at all. But the role of these walls is very large, and experts say that they cannot dig.
Although the terracotta warriors are now reappearing, the role of the load-bearing wall seems to be minimal, but it is also an important part of the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang, any historical relics have its existence value, maintaining the original state of the entire terracotta army tomb, is our greatest respect for history. Only by preserving the original appearance of historical relics to the greatest extent can we better restore history, and also allow us to better understand history and explore Chinese culture. This is the meaning and value of this wall now.
The wisdom of our ancestors is very advanced, with the most advanced conservation technology at that time, so that our descendants can still open and appreciate after a thousand years, and the greatest effort we can do is that we can protect historical relics. What do you think?
