The Terracotta Warriors and Horses lanterns of the Double Olympic Heritage were unveiled at the Winter Olympic Cultural Square in Chaoyang District

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses, which once shined on the Olympic Cultural Square in Chaoyang District during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, once again appeared on the stage of Winter Olympic City Culture from February 4, and appeared in the Chaoyang District Winter Olympic Cultural Square located near the east gate of the North Park of the Olympic Forest Park. Although only 10 terracotta warriors and horses are displayed due to the limited space, many pictures in the exhibition hall show the cultural exchange stories left by him as a cultural emissary who traveled to the world after 2008.

The horse figurine lanterns are creatively produced by the Chaoyang District Cultural Center. Inspired by the Terracotta Warriors of the Qin Dynasty in China, it adopts the national intangible cultural heritage - Beijing Lantern Tie Technique, and makes a brightly colored lantern art installation. It was born in 2008 and received a sensation when it first appeared in the Olympic Cultural Plaza on the World Trade Center And was praised by the members of the International Olympic Committee.

"Derived from the intangible cultural heritage, with olympic genes, the terracotta warriors and horses have changed people's understanding of the terracotta warriors and made people feel its affinity as a cultural messenger." Xu Wei, former director of the Chaoyang District Cultural Center, who single-handedly planned the birth of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses lanterns, said. The terracotta warriors and horses that appeared in the Winter Olympic Cultural Square in Chaoyang District have women's figurines, general figurines, and soldiers, and the tallest figurine is 2 meters long and 1.8 meters high. When lit, the Terracotta Warriors appear red, yellow, blue, green, white and other colors. The roles and images of the winter species make people forget their original samurai identity and better appreciate its significance as a cultural symbol.

If the traditional lighting making process is likened to the "freehand" in the Chinese painting technique, then the making of terracotta lanterns is a realistic technique in Western painting. Traditional illuminations only need to outline the general outline of the object, such as the lack of changes in the character from the shoulder to the chest, and the circle is like a drum bag. However, the terracotta warrior lanterns are almost one-to-one reproduction of the original clay figurines, the lampstand must conform to the skeletal structure, must be straight chest, head up, waist, and even the bending and coherence of the arms must be simulated.

Before being exhibited at the Winter Olympic Cultural Square, the terracotta lanterns had traveled to many countries such as the United Kingdom, Finland, Croatia, Estonia, Australia, Czechoslovakia and many other countries. In 2016, as a special gift to celebrate the 67th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Czech Republic, the "Beautiful Terracotta Warriors - Beijing Lantern Art Exhibition" was held on the Neva River.
