Terracotta Warriors and Horses is a famous "miracle pottery figurine" in China, and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are cultural relics of the Qin Dynasty period and a substitute for the human martyrdom system, which has very important research value. When Qin Shi Huang built the Terracotta Warriors, the purpose was very simple, that is, to conquer the "Underground Mansion". Qin Shi Huang was an ambitious man, he was not satisfied with unifying the six kingdoms, he also wanted to unify the whole world and rule over all living beings. Therefore, he painstakingly searched for the elixir of immortality, looked for Penglai Immortal Island, and looked for the footprints of immortals. However, he found nothing, so he began to carefully build his own dungeon, looking for the best funerary products, so he thought of going to the underground mansion after death, continuing to rule the underground mansion, and he was still the supreme being. The Terracotta Warriors were created for this purpose, and these terracotta figurines were fired from real soldiers, not made up haphazardly.
The figurines were "questioned" and archaeologists suspended excavations to protect the artifacts
In the strict Qin Dynasty, the firing of terracotta warriors was also a very difficult project, these terracotta warriors in addition to clothes, the appearance and posture are different, the production is very difficult, but the craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty are still completed, and completed very well. Archaeologists were still shocked when they found the terracotta warriors, this is the first time archaeologists have seen the clay figurines created in real proportions, a bit maddening, at first archaeologists even thought that this was a "real figurine". After an inspection, it was determined that this was a clay figurine and that there was no one inside.
With the deepening of excavation, more and more terracotta warriors have been unearthed, but archaeologists have also found a very serious problem, that is, the terracotta warriors are actually colored before excavation, but after excavation, they will quickly oxidize, and the color will fade, which has become what people see today. Archaeologists once suspended excavations, but as more and more artifacts were excavated, it became more important to explore the release of Buddhas. Archaeologists have recorded the colors of the terracotta warriors with their cameras, and now they are trying to restore the colors of these terracotta warriors, but the results are not satisfactory.
The most peculiar terracotta warriors appear, whose true identity may be "wizards"
After the excavation of the cultural relics of dingling in the Ming Dynasty, archaeologists did not properly preserve them, and the immature technology of preserving cultural relics made the silk fabrics unearthed from Dingling black, brittle, and some even shattered. In order to protect the terracotta warriors, archaeologists suspended excavations for a period of time, observed the terracotta warriors, and then continued to excavate without error. While digging pit number two, archaeologists dug up a "magical" terracotta warrior whose face was green and very different from other terracotta warriors. Among the many ordinary soldiers, how can there be a green-faced figurine?
To know that the law of the Qin Dynasty period is very strict, this can not be a prank of craftsmen, craftsmen will have special people to check after making the terracotta warriors, so the green-faced figurines are recognized as a reasonable existence, but what is its true identity? Some archaeologists have proposed that this craftsman is most likely colorblind, but a craftsman cannot burn only one terracotta warrior, and among the nearly 10,000 terracotta warriors, only one is a green-faced figurine, so this statement was quickly overturned. Later, archaeologists suggested that this was most likely a wizard in the army.
Such a statement is by far the most agreeable, the Qin Dynasty period of the law is strict, so the craftsman is difficult to make a mistake, after all, if it is wrong, not only will they die, but their families will also suffer. Considering that the culture of the State of Qin and the culture of the State of Chu are very similar, in the Culture of Chu, the Chu people believe in witchcraft, and before the events of the state, they will divinate and pray, which are done by wizards, so it is also very likely that there is a wizard in an army. This green-faced figurine is known as the most special terracotta warrior, and after the unearthing, the color of this green-faced figurine has faded, but the face is still glowing with a slight green light. Since its unearthing, the green-faced figurine has been strictly guarded, and after being exhibited three times, it has been permanently collected.
