China, which has a history of 5,000 years, has an extremely deep cultural heritage. In the long stream of history, we continue to excavate and explore the wisdom of the ancients. Many of these findings have surprised experts, not only the wisdom of the ancients, but also this technology is unprecedented.
Especially in the era of The First Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the new discoveries explored were shocking enough.
In today's China, the mention of terracotta warriors naturally reminds of the terracotta warriors located in Xi'an, Shaanxi, the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin.
Terracotta warriors are a product of ancient burial culture, in the ancient Chinese slave society period, the ancients practiced human martyrdom, slave owners will be martyred after death will make a large number of slaves buried. Many of the slaves who were buried were suffocated alive, a method that was not only cruel, but also detrimental to the development of social productivity.
One of the biggest characteristics of the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang is that among the thousands of Terracotta Warriors, none of the faces of the figurines are the same. In this way, many people speculate that this batch of terracotta warriors is likely to be made of living people pasted with mud.
So what is the truth of the matter? A shattered terracotta warrior unveils the mystery to the world.
It turned out that they were not fired with living people, but were fired with clay, and subsequent craftsmen carved them.
As for why it is so lifelike, it is also thanks to the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen. They will carve the terracotta warriors according to the appearance of the soldiers of the troops, so it is normal to present different appearances. However, the fact that the Terracotta Warriors can be seen again and made available to the world is thanks to our technical personnel.
In order to solve the mystery, experts scanned the internal structure of the terracotta army with CT instruments and found that the interior of the terracotta army was empty, and no human body structure was found. From some broken terracotta warriors, it can also be seen that the interior of the Qin figurines is also hollow.
The conclusion reached by using scientific means is that the interior of the Qin figurines is empty, and the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang were not burned by living people.
But this also reflects the superb skills of the craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty. A thousand figurines and a thousand faces also verified one thing, the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin must have recruited a large number of migrant workers and soldiers. Such a delicate work cannot be done by hundreds or thousands of people. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Emperor of Qin is only a corner of the Tomb of the First Emperor.
The present life of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses has unveiled more than 2,000 years of history of the Qin Dynasty for us, and through the treasures and cultural relics left behind, we have seen the glory of the Qin Dynasty, qin shi huang unified the princely states, unified the writing, and created countless precedents in our country, although in modern times, we also have to praise the greatness of the ancients.
