• He also ordered the linkage[‘lɪŋkɪdʒ] 连接；结 合 of the original Great Wall. All these exerted an everlasting influence on the long feudal history of China. But the First Qin Emperor was very ambitious. As soon as he came to the throne, he ordered that a magnificent mausoleum[,mɔsə’liəm]陵 墓 should be built for him. It took 37 years to complete this great project. Actually, the site of those terracotta warriors and horses we now see is just a small part of his mausoleum.
The terracotta warriors 简介
The terracotta warriorsAs one of the world’s eight wonders, the Terracotta Warrior isdefinitely an incredible creation.Actually, it is part of the pyramid tombof QingShihuang who unified the sevenwarring kingdoms and named theunited country china. Emperors beforeQingShihuang used human sacrifice, butproductivity needed a lot of labors. So the caly-men were used to replace live human beings. The 8000 strong army of clay were made by Ancient craftmen. It took thousands of craftmen ten years to finish this splendor.A staggring find is that each life-size figure seems individual, incluing infantry, archers, generals and calvary in three pits. Each of them is near 2 meters tall and weighs up to 300 kilograms. People cannot help wondering whether these clay-men were the portraits of the emperor’s warriors or the product of the warrior-makers’ imagination?It is believed that the warriors were made from red clay which has a feature of sticky and hard. After years of exploration, scientists think that the weapon manufacturing was standarized with some precise moulds.The ancient method is clay-coiling which may take monthes to finish one warrior. Nowadays, people prefer to stamp different body parts out of moulds and then make a complete one.。
兵马俑种类介绍英文
Terra Cotta Warriors and HorsesThe figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits near by Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum.[1] Other terracotta non-military figures were also found in other pits and they include officials, acrobats, strongmen and musicians.Terra Cotta Warriors is divided into 11 kinds：the general warriors, car warriors and driver, shoot warriors(standing), shoot warriors(kneeling),warrior figure, cavalry warriors, the horse warriors, weapon warriors.Recently an interesting phenomenon has been discovered: the looks of terracotta warriors unearthed from the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang closely resemble those of modern Chinese people. Examined closely, almost every facial variation of modern Chinese man can be found amongst the warrior figures. Out of great astonishment, some people may guess the artisans practiced divination, by which they could predict the appearance of Chinese people living over 2,000 years later.Experts don't agree by holding that the accidental discovery contains inevitability. The plastic art of terracotta warrior basically covers all Chinese people's facial shapes, which can be classified into eight types similar to the strokes of certain Chinese characters. Observe carefully, and you will find the face shapes of terracotta warriors are no more than these eight types.'国' shape-face: characterized by rectangle face, high cheekbone, wide forehead and cheek. '用' shape-face: marked by oblong face and flat cheek and chin. '目' shape-face: narrow and long face with small features. '田' shape-face: near square shape. '甲' shape-face: wide top and narrow bottom, like the shape of a melon seed. '由' shape-face: long face with narrow forehead and wide chin. '申' shape-face: wide cheekbone and narrow ends of the face, and oval face. Besides grasping the characteristics of these eight face shapes, the Qin's artisans also learned that different face shapes should match with unlike facial features. For example, the plump '由' shape-face matches with small eyes, nose and mouth.Qin artisans were skilled at using tiny details to express different characters and mental states. A person's temperament is often seen in his eyes, which is no exception to the Qin Terracotta Warriors. A canny warrior is recognized by his graceful eyebrow and eyes, a brave soldier's eyes are wide and staring, while asimple and honest soldier often has big head, wide face, bushy eyebrows and big eyes.All the eyeballs of the Qin Terracotta Warriors are simple a convex shapes. Eyes are regarded as the window to a man's heart so the artisans carved different eyes to represent the "inner world" of the different soldiers. Some soldiers have squinty eyes and a tender smile to show their confidence to win the war; some soldiers have eyes wide open in a fury, filled with hate toward their enemies; and some soldiers are looking down, shy and quiet. The soldiers looking forward have their eyeballs in the center of the eyelids, and those who looking up have the eyeballs titled up slightly. Also, the eyes of the Qin Terracotta Warriors depict a single eye-lid, which accurately represents the features of the eyes of the Qin people.On seeing the terracotta warrior figures, we could not help praising their lifelike appearance, reflecting the deep and thorough observation on life of the artisans living in the Qin Dynasty. The wisdom of the ancient Chinese people is embodied in this magnificent group of terracotta warriors.Among the 1,500 terracotta warrior figures of the Terracotta Army, stands a unique green-faced soldier. Discovered in Pit No.2 in 1999, this unusual figure greatly aroused the curiosity and interest of archaeologists everywhere.The whole body of this figure was painted in color and the paint on the face still remains. The white part of the eye ball and black pupil are still very clearly visible. The figure's face, neck and ears were painted light green, which marks him out as very different to the other pink faced terracotta warriors. The eyebrows and beard are black, the hair band is scarlet, and the hair bun and the hair are painted ochre.This difference led to a heated debate among archaeologists as to the reason why he was painted in this way. Some experts believe that it was done completely by mistake, guessing the figure's creator must have been color blind. Others refute this by pointing out that the strict management rules of the Qin Dynasty would not allow a product which did not conform to the specification to be buried in the mausoleum. Some experts believe that the warrior's green face was intended to frighten enemies, however all of these statements are lacking in scientific evidence.It is interesting to note that the ancient Chinese viewed the color green as symbolic of youthfulness and vibrancy. Based on this knowledge, some experts assert that the green-faced terracotta warrior could have been placed there to demonstrate the braveness of all the soldiers and the power of the army in battle.Qin Officer's DressingIn the Qin Dynasty, the ranks of officers can be recognized by their dressings. The terracotta general wears a dual long jacket, a dark purple crest hat, a long pant, a thigh protector, a pair of boots with square opening tipping and uniform head, and covered with a colorful armor, looking grand and awe-inspiring. The middle-level officer has two kinds of dressing. The first kind includes a long jacket, a thigh protector, a boots with square opening tipping head, chest plate trimmed with colorful lace and a double long hat. The second kind includes a high collar gown clasped on the right side, a thigh protector, a boots with square opening tipping head and covered a piece of armor with smooth edge and colorful lace. The junior officer wears a long jacket, a piece of armor, a long hat, a pair of shallow shoes and a thigh protector. Also there are a few junior officers do not wear armors. They fight in light equipment.Qin Soldier's DressingThe heavy infantries of the Qin terracotta warriors have three kinds of dressing. The first kind includes a long jacket, a pair of shorts, and a pair of shallow shoes, and combed a tight roll of hair at the right side of the head, assembled with leggings and has armor on the back. The second kind is similar to the first one except the soldiers have a red handkerchief on the head. The third kind of soldier's dressing is same to the second one, but the soldiers belong to this group combs flat bobs on the back of the heads instead of wearing handkerchiefs.The cavalries wear Hu dress ("Hu" refers to the northern minorities living in the northwestern part of ancient China, unlike the loose clothes wore by the people living in the central China, Hu dress is tight which is easy for horse racing and archery), waist-length armors and round small hats. They hold the bow and arrow in one hand, with the reins in the other hand. The drivers of chariots dress in two ways. Some wear long jackets, armors, long hats, shallow shoes and armed with leggings. The other kind of dressing provides strict protection to the body which is reflected in the square plates protecting the neck, and the plates cover the two arms to connect with hand guards.Acrobatics Figures (Baixi Yong)In the spring in 1999, the archaeologists at the Mausoleum of the Emperor Qin Shihuang discovered an accessory pit between the inner and outer city of the mausoleum. In the nine newly excavated pits, they found eleven color-painted acrobatics figures and the utensils they used for performance such as Ding (tripod), spears and pottery basins.These acrobatics figures, though being crushed into pieces, are recognizable on the whole. At present, three pieces have been repaired and marked No.1, No.3 and No.5. They are naked from the waist up and wear thick short skirts. Their faces were painted light pink. It is believed that they are probably the acrobats who played wrestling, weight lifting, dancing and other performances.The No.1 acrobatics figure stands at attention, measuring 5.7 feet tall. Its lefthand holds the right wrist and the arms crossed before the belly. The No.3 acrobat is tough and brave. Measuring 6.2 feet tall, it has strong muscles on the chest and arms, the belly slightly bulged, the right arm lifts uplifted, the left thumb put into the waist belt, the left leg bent forward and the right foot steps on the floor heavily. The No.5 acrobat is the strongest and tallest one. It is about 6.6 feet tall. The two hands put across the belly. There is a trail of a cylindrical thing between the left arm and left ribs. It is supposed to be a long wooden column, but was decayed through years.These acrobatics figures are different from those severe-looking terracotta warriors in gestures, dressings and expressions. The discovery of these figures adds a new group to the Qin terracotta warriors; shows us the colorful acrobatical art and the entertainment culture in the Qin royal court.Arose from the primitive society, Baixi was prospered in the Qin and Han dynasties. It refers to the theatricals and variety shows including pole climbing, wrestling dance, sword-swallowing and tripod lifting, among which the tripod lifting is the most welcomed one. The men of giant strength competed in lifting up the heaviest tripod. During this excavation work, a copper tripod was also unearthed. It weights about 467 pounds, which is the heaviest copper tripod discovered in the Qin Mausoleum by far.What's more, on the side palace of the Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, experts discovered a stone dice called Shiboqiong similar to today's dice but with 14 sides. Each side was carved with one character or a number. It is believed that the dice was a play thing of the Emperor Qin Shihuang. But how to play it and how the 14 sides developed into today's six sides, remains unknown The Terra Cotta Warriors Pits have unearthed large amounts of bronze weapons which include swords, spears, scimitars, billhooks, halberds, arrowheads and crossbows. Despite being buried for over two thousand years, these military weapons still glitter and their edges are as sharp as of old. This miracle reflects the high level of metallurgical technology of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC - 206 BC).Experts have found many reasons to explain the Qin Army's formidable might, including strict military systems, a well-disciplined army and wise tactics in fighting. But one important factor that should not be ignored is their highly advanced military equipment including the following:Sword: Jian in Chinese. The sword is the king of short weapons. In fighting, the sword is used to stab the enemy. The over 20 pieces of bronze swords unearthed in Pit 1 and Pit 2 are smooth and sharp in the color of yellow gray. The body parts were finely filed and polished, making the swords as bright as new.Comparatively, Qin swords were molded longer than the ones in other states. It is because the longer the sword is, the easier it is to stab the enemy.But the bronze swords unearthed in the Qin terracotta warriors pit were not the best precious swords in the Qin Dynasty. The bronze sword hung on the officer warrior in the bronze chariot measures 60 cm, but if enlarged to the actual size, it measures as long as 120 cm, not to mention the length of the precious sword wore by the Emperor Qin Shi Huang.Spear: Mao in Chinese. The bronze spears unearthed in theCrossbow: Nu in Chinese. Compared to the bow, the crossbow takes more Arrowhead:Dagger-Axe: Known as Ge in Chinese, the dagger-axe is a pointed weapon。

Terracotta WarriorsTerracotta WarriorsThe terracotta warriors and horses, created about 2,200 years ago, were found in 1974 on the east side of the tomb of the First Emperor Qin Shihuang (259 BC - 210 BC) near Xi'an. The site is now the famous Terra-cotta Museum, which consists of three main buildings, Pit 1, Pit 2 and Pit 3. The three pits occupy an area of 22,000 square meters, housing about 8,000life-size pottery warriors and horses.Pit 1 is the largest of the three. It contains over 6,000 life-size terracotta warriors and horses in a practical battle formation, which is the main force of the underground army. Pit 2, discovered in 1976, contains more than 1,300 pottery figures, which are specialized military forces, including archers, chariots, and cavalries. Pit 3 is the smallest of the three, containing only 68 pottery figures and one chariot. Pit 3 is the command center of the entire army.The terracotta warriors are about 1.8 meters in height on average. Each of them has an individualized appearance, characterized mainly by its facial features, such as the mouth, hairstyle and facial expression. Experts believe they are modeled on real soldiers.About 600 satellite pits and tombs have been unearthed in the surrounding area of the tomb of the First Emperor since the discovery of terracotta warriors and horses in 1974. Thirty-one pits of rare animals and birds and 98 sets of the stable pits have been unearthed.The well-known Terra-cotta Museum is located east of Emperor Qin's Mausoleum, which covers a total area of 20 hectares. The museum is decorated with green trees. The scenery in the museum are quite elegant and delightful. Three main buildings of the museum, which were named Pit 1,Pit 2, Pit 3, were set up on their original sites in different periods of time.It is recorded that in March, 1974, the farmers from Xiyang Village of Yanzhai Township in Lintong District of Xian accidentally discovered many broken pottery figures while digging a well, 1.5 km away to east of Emperor Qin Shihuang's Tomb.After archaeological excavation and careful research, itturned out to be a pit in which were buried terra-cottawarriors and horses from the Qin Dynasty. In 1976, afterdrilling, another two pits were found one by one nearby.They were named Pit 1, 2 and 3 according to the timing ofdiscovery with a total area of 22,780 square metres.This profound discovery made a sensation across the whole world! In 1975, the State Council offered permission that a museum with an area of 16,300 square metres be built on the site of Pit No. 1 at the aim of protecting the valuable historical relics. The museum was officially finished and opened to the public on October 01, National Day, 1979.

The museum and the mausoleum are listed the world's cultural legacies as the UNESCO.Pit No. 1 is in an oblong shape of tunnel. It is 230 metres long from east to west and 62 metres wide from north to south. It is 5 metres deep. It occupies an area of 14,260 square metres. Inside the tunnel, there are ten earth-rammed partition walls. The floors are bricks-paved. The terra-cotta warriors and horses in Pit No. 1 are lined in a real battle formation. To the east end of the pit stand facing east three rows of terra-cotta warriorsin battle tunics and puttees, 70 in each row with totalnumber of 210 put altogether. Armed with bows and arrows,they form the vanguard. The ten rammed partition walls cutPit No. 1 into eleven latitudinal passage ways. There are 38columns of warriors in the east with horse-drawn chariots inthe centre. The armour-clad warriors carrying long-shaftweapons are probably the main body of the formation and show the main force.Pit No. 2 is situated 20 metres to the north of Pit No. 1. The Pit is L--shaped and composed of four different mixed military forces in four rows. It is recorded that there were more than 1, 000 pieces of pottery figures, 500 horse-driven chariots and saddled horses. The pit is about 6,000 square metres.Pit No. 3 is situated 25 metres to the north of Pit No. 1 and to the west of Pit No. 2. Tthe pit is in the concave shape with 520 square metres. From the pit were discovered one chariot, four terra-cotta horses and 68 clay armoured warriors. In Pit No. 3 were only unearthed one kind ofweapon called "shu", which had no blades and are siad to be used by the guards of honour. Discovered also in this pit were a re- maining deer-horn and animal bones. This is maybe the site where sacrificial offerings and war prayers were practiced.In December 1980, two sets of large painted bronze chariots and horses were unearthed 20 metres west of the tomb of the first Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. They were listed as No.1 and No.2 respectively according to their discovery. They were then enclosed in a wooden coffin and buried in a pit seven metres deep. When excavated, the chariots and horses were seriously damaged due to the decayed wooden coffin and the collapse of earthen layers.

It is located in the southern suburb of Xian City, about 4 kilometers (2.49 miles) from the downtown of the city. Standing in the Da Ci'en Temple complex, it attracts numerous visitors for its fame in the Buddhist religion, its si-mp-le but appealing style of construction, and its new square in front of the temple.It is rated as a National Key Cultural Relic Preserve as well as an AAAA Tourist Attraction. This attraction can be divided into three parts: the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Da Ci'en Temple, and the North Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda.Big Wild Goose PagodaOriginally built in 652 during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), it functioned to collect Buddhist materials that were taken from India by the hierarch Xuanzang.Xuanzang started off from Chang'an (the ancient Xian), along the Silk Road and through deserts, finally arriving in India, the cradle of Buddhism. Enduring 17 years and traversing 100 countries, he obtained Buddha figures, 657 kinds of sutras, and several Buddha relics. Having gotten the permission of Emperor Gaozong (628-683), Xuanzang, as the first abbot of Da Ci'en Temple, supervised the building of a pagoda inside it.With the support of royalty, he asked 50 hierarchs into the temple to translate Sanskrit in sutras into Chinese, totaling 1,335 volumes, which heralded a new era in the history of translation. Based on the journey to India, he also wrote a book entitled 'Pilgrimage to the West' in the Tang Dynasty, to which scholars attached great importance.First built to a height of 60 meters (197 feet) with five stories, it is now 64.5 meters (211.6 feet) high with an additional two stories. It was said that after that addition came the saying-'Saving a life exceeds building a seven-storied pagoda'. Externally it looks like a square cone, si-mp-le but grand and it is a masterpiece of Buddhist construction. Built of brick, its structure is very firm.Inside the pagoda, stairs twist up so that visitors can climb and overlook the panorama of Xian City from the arch-shaped doors on four sides of each storey. On the walls are engraved fine statues of Buddha by the renowned artist Yan Liben of the Tang Dynasty. Steles by noted calligraphers also grace the pagoda. As for the reason why it is called Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a legend. According to ancient stories of Buddhists, there were two branches, for one of which eating meat was not a taboo. One day, they couldn't find meat to buy.Upon seeing a group of big wild geese flying by, a monk said to himself: 'Today we have no meat. I hope the merciful Bodhisattva will give us some.' At that very moment, the leading wild goose broke its wings and fell to the ground. All the monks were startled and believed that Bodhisattva showed his spirit to order them to be more pious. They established a pagoda where the wild goose fell and stopped eating meat. Hence it got the name 'Big Wild Goose Pagoda'.Da Ci'en Temple Da Ci'en Temple is the home of Big Wild Goose Pagoda. In 648, to commemorate the dead virtuous queen, royalty ordered the building of a temple named 'Ci'en' (Mercy and Kindness), for which the status and scale far exceeded all others. Today, with an area of 32,314 square meters (38,648.5 square yards), one seventh of the original area, it still retains its grandeur.Before the temple, there stands a statue of hierarch Xuanzang, the meritorious hierarch. Walking on and acroa small bridge, visitors will see the gates of the temple. With guarding lions, the temple seems stately for lions were said to function as talismans.Entering the temple you will see two buildings-Bell Tower in the east and Drum Tower in the west. Inside the Bell T ower hangs an iron bell 15 tons (14.76 grotons) in weight. It was molded in 1548 in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Along the central axis are arranged the Hall of Mahavira, Sermon Hall, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Hall of Xuanzang Sanzang. In the Hall of Mahavira are three carved statues of Sakyamuni, and 18 arhats as well as Xuanzang. The Sermon Hall is where Buddhist disciples would listen to a sermon.A bronze statue of Amitabha is dedicated and a Buddha statue is collected by Xuanzang as oblation. The Hall of Xuanzang Sanzang is north of Big Wild Goose Pagoda. In this hall are Xuanzang's relic and a bronze statue of a seated Xuanzang.

高一英语作文向外国朋友介绍中国兵马俑篇1Title: The Amazing Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, ChinaHi there my foreign friends! I'm so excited to tell you about the awesome Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, China. They are like super cool life-sized soldier statues made out of terracotta (that means pottery clay). Get ready, because this story is going to blow your mind!A long, long, long time ago, like over 2,200 years ago, there was this really powerful emperor named Qin Shi Huang. He ruled over ancient China and did a bunch of amazing things like building the Great Wall of China to protect his empire. Pretty cool, right?But here's the really crazy part - Qin Shi Huang wanted an entire army of warriors to protect him in the afterlife. So, he ordered his workers to create thousands of life-sized terracotta soldier statues and have them buried with him when he died. Whoa, mind-blowing!These terracotta warriors were buried underground in a secret place near the emperor's tomb. They were arranged inbattle formation, ready to protect their emperor forever. But nobody knew about them for centuries until 1974 when some farmers were digging a well and accidently discovered them. Can you imagine how shocked they must have been to find an entire underground army?!When archaeologists (those are people who study ancient stuff) started digging, they couldn't believe their eyes. There were rows and rows of these amazing terracotta warrior statues, each one with unique facial features and details. Some were generals, some were archers, some were infantry soldiers - it was just like a real ancient army frozen in time!And get this - each soldier statue is over 6 feet tall and weighs around 600 pounds! That's like two full-grown adults squished together. The ancient workers were so talented to make statues that massive and detailed, all out of terracotta clay.But that's not even the best part. The archaeologists also found over 8,000 terracotta horses, chariots, and weapons buried with the warriors. There were real arrowheads, swords, chariots with movable parts, and horses ready to charge into battle. Mind = blown!Sadly, sometime in history, the underground army was smashed and shattered by an unknown force. But the pieceshave been painstakingly put back together and you can now visit the excavation site and museum in Xi'an. It's one of the most famous archaeological finds in the whole world!When you visit, it's like stepping back in time over 2,000 years. You can walk along the same battle formation as the warriors, marvel at their intricate details, and imagine what life was like for the brave soldiers who crafted them so long ago. It's definitely one of the coolest and most mysterious historical sites I've ever learned about.So what do you think, guys? Doesn't the story of the Terracotta Warriors sound totally epic? An ancient underground army frozen in time to guard an emperor for eternity? I mean, come on, that's like something straight out of an adventure movie! I'd love to visit Xi'an someday and see this mind-blowing archaeological wonder with my own eyes. Maybe you can come with me and we can explore it together! Let me know if you're in.Your friend,[Your Name]篇2哈喽,我是小明,今天我要给大家介绍一个中国的宝贝- 兵马俑!大家知道兵马俑是什么吗?它可了不起了,是世界八大奇迹之一哦!兵马俑就是陶土做的小兵和小马,看上去栩栩如生,就像真的一样。

以下是本文库整理的兵马俑英语导游词5篇，欢迎阅读参考!兵马俑英语导游词(1)Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, Today, we are going to visit the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses. This museum is located at the foot of mountain Li Shan, about 35 kilometers east of Xi’an.First, I will give you a brief introduction about the master of this underground army---the First Qin Emperor, Yingzheng. He came to the throne at the age of 13 and seized the power at the age of 22 . By 221BC, he had annexed all the six independent states and established the first centralized autocratic feudal empire in the long history of China.After the unification of the whole country, he styled himself the First Emperor and standardized the coinage, weights and measures, the legal codes, the written scripts and so on. He also ordered the linkage of the original Great Wall. All these exerted an everlasting influence on the long feudal history of China. But the First Qin Emperor was very ambitious. As soon as he came to the throne, he ordered that a magnificent mausoleum should be built for him. It took 37 years to complete this great project. Actually, the site of those terracotta warriors and horses we now see is just a small part of his mausoleum.Ok, everyone, now we are standing at the front gate of the Eighth Wonder of the world---the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses. As one of the top ten places of historical interest in China, it was also listed as a world heritage site.So next, let’s go to uncover the veil of this miraculous work.In March 1974,when several farmers were sinking a well about 1.5km east of the First Qin Emperor’s Maosolem, they came upon many fragmentsof the terracotta figures.The results of archaeological excavation showed that is two more pits were discovered respectively.They were then named pit1，pit2, and pit3 by the order of discovery.The new discovery stirred up a sensation all over the world.In order to provide the historical artifacts with adequate protection, a musem was set up on the site of Pit 1 in 1975 upon the approval of the state council.Pit 1,covers an area of 16,300 square meters, is an earth-and-wood structure in the shape of a tunnel. The terra cotta armies in pit 1 were arranged in battle formation. In the front of this formation, there are 210warriors in 3 lines facing forward. Armed with bows and arrows, they constitute the so-called vanguard. Meanwhile, there is one row of warriors on each of the borders of this pit, facing outward---they are the flanks and the rear guard. Holding long-distance shooting weapons, they took up the job of defending the whole army.Then, this way please. We may find ten partition walls which divided this pit into 11 corridors. The warriors standing inside them with horse-drawn chariots represent the principal military force of this battle formation. According to the density, there are over 6000 terracotta warriors and horses, and most of them are infantrymen.Ok, Here now we arrived at Pit 2. we can see that Pit 2 is still under cover, that’s because we want to preserve them. Pit 2 consists of 4 different mixed military forces in four arrays, they are infantrymen, cavalrymen, archers and charioteers .And pit 2 also include many chariots and horses. They can be divided to act independently, capable of attacking, and defending with a quick response. As you see, those worriors, their feet, legs, bodies, necks, hands and heads, all with different faces, were all made separately and joined together. we may find they are all vivid and true to life.And also as we can see, here are some actual weapons unearthed in those pits. The mostattractive one is a bronze sword. Although it was buried over thousands of years, it is still very sharp. It can cat through 20 pieces of paper put together.Now we come to pit 3. Pit 3 covers an area of about 520 square meters. There are only 68 warriors and 4 clay horses. The warriors were arranged opposite to each other in two rows, and only one kind of weapon called ＂SHU＂ had been discovered. This kind of weapon has no blade, and is believed to be used by the guards of honor. We have found many animal bones in the north side, and it is supposed to be ＂Prayer Hall＂, and ＂Commander’s office＂ is on the south side. This suggests pit 3 is the headquarters directing the whole underground army.Then we have arrived at the exhibition hall of Bronze Chariots and Horses. In 1980, two sets of large painted bronze chariots and horses were found. They broke into thousands of pieces when we found them and after 8 ye ars’ careful restoration; they were rebuilt and open to the public. The first one was named ＂High Chariot＂ and the second one was called ＂Security Chariot＂. They were the eariliest and most exquisitely and intricately made bronze valuables,and also the largest bronze wares discovered in the history of world archaeology.It provides extremlyvaluable material and data for the research of the metallurgical technique and technological modeling og the Qin Dynasty.So now we will finish our journey in the museum today, I believe that you must be very astonished at this world wonder.So it’s your time,you can work around and take some pictures. thank you for listening~ 兵马俑英语导游词(2)Emperor Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum and the Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses MuseumEmperor Qin Shihuang (259-210B.C.) had Ying as his surname and Zheng as his given name. He name to the throne of the Qin at age 13, andtook the helm of the state at age of 22. By 221 B.C., he had annexed the six rival principalities of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei, and established the first feudal empire in China’s history.In the year 221 B.C., when he unified the whole country, Ying Zheng styled himself emperor. He named himself Shihuang Di, the first emperor in the hope that his later generations be the second, the third even the one hundredth and thousandth emperors in proper order to carry on the hereditary system. Since then, the supreme feudal rulers of China’s dynasties had continued to call themselves Huang Di, the emperor.After he had annexed the other six states, Emperor Qin Shihuang abolished the enfeoffment system and adopted the prefecture and county system. He standardized legal codes, written language, track, currencies, weights and measures. To protect against harassment by the Hun aristocrats. Emperor Qin Shihuang ordered the Great Wall be built. All these measures played an active role in eliminating the cause of the state of separation and division and strengthening the unification of the whole country as well as promotion the development of economy and culture. They had a great and deep influence upon China’s 2,000 year old feudal society.Emperor Qin Shihuang ordered the books of various schools burned except those of the Qin dynasty’s history and culture, divination and medicines in an attempt to push his feudal autocracy in the ideological field. As a result, China’s ancient classics had been devastated and destroy. Moreover, he once ordered 460 scholars be buried alive. Those events were later called in history＂the burning of books and the burying of Confucian scholars.＂Emperor Qin Shihuang，for his own pleasure, conscribed several hundred thousand convicts and went in for large-scale construction and had over seven hundred palaces built in the Guanzhong Plain. These palaces stretched several hundred li and he sought pleasure from one palace tothe other. Often nobody knew where he ranging treasures inside the tomb, were enclosed alive.Emperor Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum has not yet been excavated. What looks like inside could noly be known when it is opened.

In 1976, No.2 and 3 Pits were found 20m north of No.1 Pit respectively after the drilling survey. The terra-cotta warriors and horses are arrayed according to the Qin dynasty battle formation, symbolizing the troops keeping vigil beside the mausoleum. This discovery aroused much interest both at home and abroad.

The museum was formally opened to public on Oct.1, the National Day, 1979.No.1 Pit is 230 meters long from east to west, 62m wide from north to south and 5m deep , covering a total area of 14,260 square meters. It is an earth-and-wood structure in the shape of a tunnel. There are five sloping entrances on the eastern and western sides of the pit respectively. The pit is divided into eleven corridors by ten earthen partition walls, and the floors are paved with bricks. Thick rafters were placed onto the walls (but now one can only see their remains), which were covered with mats and then fine soil and earth. The battle formation of the Qin dynasty, facing east.

Immediately behind them are 38 columns ofinfantrymen alternating with war chariots in the corridors, each being 180m long. They are probably the main body of the formation. There is one line of warriors in the left, right and west ends respectively, facing outwards. They are probably the flanks and the rear. There are altogether 27 trial trench, it is assumed that more than 6,000 clay warriors and horses could be unearthed from No.1 Pit.No.2 Pit sis about half the size of No.1 Pit, covering about 6,000 square meters Trail diggings show this is a composite formation of infantry, cavalry and chariot soldiers, from which roughly over 1,000 clay warriors, and 500 chariots and saddled horses could be unearthed. The 2,000-year-old wooden chariots are already rotten. But their shafts, cross yokes, and wheels, etc. left clear impressions on the earth bed. The copper parts of the chariots still remain. Each chariot is pulled by four horses which are one and half meters high and two metres long.

Now we are heading to the eighth wonder of the world –the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses. The museum is located at the foot of Mt.Lishan, about 35 kilometers east of Xi’an. There are three pits of warriors and horses and two bronze chariots have been found.The first pit was discovered in 1974 when several farmers were sinking a well. In order to protect this terracotta army, the Chinese government built a museum in 1975, and it was officially open to the publicin 1979. The Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses was listed as the world heritage in 1987.Firstly, I will give you a brief introduction about the master of this underground army-the First Qin Emperor. His name was YingZheng. By 210BC when he was only 39 years old.

It is an earth-and-wood structure in the shape of a tunnel. There are five sloping entrances on the eastern and western sides of the pit respectively. The pit is divided into eleven corridors by ten earthen partition walls, and the floors are paved with bricks. Thick rafters were placed onto the walls (but now one can only see their remains), which were covered with mats and then fine soil and earth. The battle formation of the Qin dynasty, facing east. In the east end are arrayed three lines of terra-cotta warriors, 70 pieces in each, totaling 210 pieces. They are supposed to be the van of the formation.

The 2,000-year-old wooden chariots are already rotten. But their shafts, cross yokes, and wheels, etc. left clear impressions on the earth bed. The copper parts of the chariots still remain. Each chariot is pulled by four horses which are one and half meters high and two metres long. According to textual research, these clay horses were sculptures after the breed in the area of Hexi Corridor. The horses for the cavalrymen were already saddled, but with no stirups.No.3 Pit covers an area of 520m2 with only four horses, one chariotand 68 warriors, supposed to be the command post of the battle formation. Now, No.2 and 3 Pits have been refilled, but visitors can see some clay figures and weapons displayed in the exhibition halls in the museum that had been unearthed from these two pits. The floors of both and 2 Pits were covered with a layer of silt of 15 to 20cm thick. In these pits, one can see traces of burnt beams everywhere, some relics which were mostly broken. Analysis shows that the pits were burned down by Xiang Yu, leader of a peasant army. All of the clay warriors in the three pits held real weapons in their hands and face east, showing Emperor Qin Shihuang’s strong determination of wiping out the six states and unifying the whole country.The height of the terra-cotta warriors varies from 1.78m, the shortest, to 1.97m, the tallest. They look healthy and strong and have different facial expressions. Probably they were sculpted by craftsmen according to real soldiers of the Qin dynasy. They organically combined the skills of round engraving, bas-relief and linear engraving, and utilized the six traditional folk crafts of sculpturing, such as hand-moulding, sticking, cutting, painting and so on. The clay models were then put in kilns, baked and colour-painted. As the terra-cotta figures have beeb burnt and have gone through the natural process of decay, we can’t see their original gorgeous colours. However, most of the terra-cotta figures bear the trace of the original colours, and few of them are still as bright as new. They are found to be painted by mineral dyestuffs of vermilion, bright red, pink dark green, powder green, purple, blue, orange, black and white colours.Thousands of real weapons were unearthed from these terra-cotta army pits, including broad knives, swords, spears, dagger-axes, halberds, bows, crossbows and arrowheads. These weapons were exquisitely made. Some of theme are still very sharp, analyses show that they are made of alloys of copper and tin, containing more than ten kinds of other metals. Sincetheir surfaces were treated with chromium, they are as bright as new, though buried underground for more than 2,000 years. This indicates that Qin dynasty’s metallurgical technology and weapon-manufacturing technique already reached quite a high level.In December 1980, two teams of large painted bronze chariots and horses were unearthed 20 metres west of the mound of Emperor Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum. These single shaft four-horse chariots each comprises 3,462 spare parts, and has a body with two compartments, one behind the other, and an elliptical umbrella like canopy. The four horses harnessed to the chariot are 65-67 centimeters tall. The restored bronze chariots and horses are exact imitations of true chariot, horse and driver in half life-size.The chariots and horses are decorated with coloured drawings against white background. They have been fitted with more than 1,500 piecese of gold and silvers and decorations, looking luxurious, splendid and graceful. Probably they were meant for the use of Emperor Qin Shihuang’s soul to go on inspection. The bronze chariots and horses were made by lost wax casting, which shows a high level of technology. For instance, the tortoise-shell-like canopy is about 4mm thick, and the window is only 1mm thick on which are many small holes for ventilation. According to a preliminary study, the technology of manufacturing the bronze chariots and horses has involved casting, welding, reveting, inlaying embedding and chiseling. The excavation of the bronze chariots and horses provides extremely valuable material and data for the textual research of the metallurgical technique, the mechanism of the chariot and technological modeling of the Qin dynasty.No.2 bronze chariot and horses now on display were found broken into 1,555 pieces when excavated. After two-and-half years’ careful and painstaking restoration by archaeologists and various specialists, theywere formally exhibited in the museum on October 1, 1983. bronze chariot hand horses are on display from 1988.。

The artists who made them paid so much attention to all the tiny details to make themlook real. Their armor, belts, hair styles, and even the buckles on their shoes are all carefully carved. It's just mind-blowing!What amazed me most was learning that over 700,000 workers were involved in constructing this underground tomb and army over 38 years. Each warrior was created individually by a skilled artisan who used hand tools. There weren't any big machines to mass produce things back then. Every sculpture is a total work of art made through patience and hard work.Our guide taught us the Chinese word "matchless" to describe the craftsmanship. It means something so perfect and remarkable that it can't be matched or copied. I had never thought that deeply about how much effort and skill went into creating something before. The terracotta warriors really opened my eyes to respecting craftsmanship.I tried to imagine what it would be like to be one of the workers building this underground city. You'd have to be so focused and take such pride in your work to make sure every single part was just right. They didn't have modern tools but still achieved this level of artistry over 2,000 years ago! I have a hard time sitting still for more than 10 minutes on my homework. I can't fathom the patience and "stick-to-it-iveness" it took to construct something so huge and intricate.What I learned is that true craftsmanship means never taking shortcuts. It means striving for excellence and not settling for "good enough." The terracotta warriors wouldn't be as breathtaking if the workers had gotten lazy or stopped caring about the smallest details. Craftsmanship requires passion, commitment, and taking the time to do things the right way rather than the easy way.I definitely have a new appreciation for artistry and skilled labor after this field trip. Just think about all the things around you that took real craftmanship to make - your shoes, your house, even the pen or pencil you write with. There was some person who poured their heart and spirit into making it just right. That's what the "spirit of craftsmanship" means to me now.From now on, I'm going to try to put more care and effort into my schoolwork, my chores at home, or any project I work on.I want to approach things with the same sense of dedication as those ancient Chinese artisans. Maybe terracotta warriors weren't on their mind, but making something with care and artistry was. That's my new philosophy!I feel really lucky I got to see one of the most incredible artistic achievements in the world up close. The terracotta warriors opened my eyes to what's possible when you combinevision, commitment, and masterful skills over a long period of time. Anything is possible with real craftsmanship! I hope I can take that spirit with me and apply it to whatever I end up doing in life. For now, I'm just going to keep practicing on my multiplication tables and book reports. Wish me luck!篇2Visiting the Amazing Terracotta Army!Wow, you guys! I got to go on the coolest field trip ever with my class. We went to see the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, China. Have you heard of them before? They're these huge life-size soldier statues made out of terracotta clay that were buried underground for over 2,000 years! Can you believe that? They're so old, but they still look amazing.Our teacher Ms. Wang told us the story of how they were first discovered in 1974 by some farmers who were digging a well. They had no idea there was going to be an entire underground museum filled with thousands of detailed pottery warriors! It was the biggest archaeological find in the 20th century.When we got to the museum, I was just stunned seeing the size of the pit where the warriors were uncovered. It's huuuuuge!And there were row after row of warrior statues, all with different facial features and details. Each one is unique. Our guide said they believe the warriors were created to guard the tomb of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, in the afterlife. He must have been a really powerful and important guy to have such an incredible tomb!As we walked around the different pits, I just couldn't get over how life-like the warrior statues looked. You could see the serious expressions on their faces, like they were ready to protect the emperor no matter what. And the details were mind-blowing! Each figure had a unique uniform and hairstyle. Some were archers, some were cavalrymen, some were chariot drivers. The artists who created them went to such incredible efforts to make them all different.Our guide told us it took 700,000 workers and craftsmen 38 years to construct this massive mausoleum and terracotta army for the emperor. Can you imagine working on one project for 38 years?! I don't think I could even work on a art project for 38 minutes without getting bored. But the ancient Chinese artisans had Such incredible patience, skill, and dedication to create this 8,000-warrior masterpiece.The thing that blew me away the most was learning about the production line they used wayback in 210 BC to mass produce the warriors efficiently. The workers had clever methods to make different head molds, body molds, and arm molds. Then they'd assemble them like a kit before firing the clay figures in the kiln. It was like an ancient Chinese assembly line!I couldn't believe how advanced their system was, almost like a factory today. Our guide said it showed the "spirit of craftsmanship" - their commitment to excellence in their work through methodical processes. All that effort for something that would be permanently buried underground! It's just amazing.Ms. Wang told us the Terracotta Warriors are one of the most significant archeological sites in the world because they give us a window into understanding ancient Chinese culture, their skilled artisans, and clues about their technology over 2,000 years ago. Who would have thought a random well-digging project by some farmers could uncover such an invaluable piece of world heritage?After the museum, we got to try making our own little terracotta warrior figures in an arts and crafts class. Lemme tell you, sculpting fine details in that clay is NOT easy! I got a whole new appreciation for the astounding talents of those ancientChinese craftsmen who could carve such intricate designs and figures. My warrior looked like a blob monster in comparison!This field trip really opened my eyes to how advanced and artistic ancient Chinese society was. Those hard workers back then didn't have machines, electronics or even modern tools. Yet they still created this breathtaking masterpiece through sheer craftsmanship, patience and determination over nearly four decades of labor. It's crazy!I feel like I learned an important lesson about the "spirit of craftsmanship" from seeing the Terracotta Warriors. It's about taking pride in your work, no matter how small. It's about having passion and perseverance to continually improve your skills over time. And it's about working with incredible dedication to create something enduring and meaningful, even if nobody else appreciates it right away.Those ancient clay artisans thought their efforts would be forever hidden in an emperor's tomb. But now, over 2,000 years later, their Terra Cotta Army has been rediscovered and beloved as one of humanity's most prized archaeological treasures. All because of their "spirit of craftsmanship"!I feel so lucky I got to see this wonder of the ancient world. This field trip really blew my mind and gave me a greaterappreciation for artistry, hard work and patience. I may just be a kid, but witnessing the Terracotta Warriors' story is going to inspire me to approach all my endeavors with that "spirit of craftsmanship" - whether it's an art project, homework assignment or just my chores around the house. If I give my best effort and take pride in whatever work I do, maybe one day I can create something as incredible and lasting as the Terracotta Army!篇3A Trip to the Terracotta Army and Learning About CraftsmanshipWow, I'm so excited to tell you about my trip to see the amazing Terracotta Warriors! It was part of a school field trip and I learned so many incredible things.First, let me tell you what the Terracotta Warriors even are. They are thousands of life-size soldier statues made out of terracotta, which is a type of clay. They were buried underground for over 2,000 years until farmers digging a well accidentally discovered them in 1974. Can you imagine stumbling across an ancient buried army like that?!The Terracotta Warriors were built to guard the tomb of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. He ruled wayyyy back from 221-210 BC. When he became emperor at age 13, he ordered the construction of his gigantic mausoleum to begin. This included the life-size terracotta army to protect him in the afterlife.Each warrior statue is unique, with different facial features, hair styles, uniform decorations, and even different heights. There are infantrymen, archers, charioteers, cavalry troops, and more. Historians estimate there are over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses! The details and craftsmanship are mind-blowing.My favorite part was seeing the different face sculptures. The warriors' expressions range from a serious glare to a peaceful gaze. You can see mustaches, goatees, and other facial hair carved into the clay. Some warriors are tall and slender while others are short and stocky. The hairstyles include top-knots, braids, and turbans. Such incredible artistry from so long ago!What amazed me most was learning how the ancient craftsmen created the terracotta figures. Can you believe each figure was constructed without any kilns or modern tools? The clay had to be hand-carved, hand-molded, and then wood-fired at extreme temperatures.The process was incredibly complicated and labor-intensive. First, the artisans had to find the right type of clay and mix it with the proper minerals. Then the clay components like the head, arms, torso, and legs were molded separately. Finally, they assembled the pieces and carved in the fine details by hand.After studying the warriors closely, you can see fingerprints embedded in the clay from where the ancient artists worked the material. Just imagine the skill and patience it took to mold and sculpt thousands of life-size human figures!The artists who created the Terracotta Warriors must have had so much passion, dedication, and craftsmanship spirit. They took immense pride in their work, striving for perfection and accuracy. These weren't just mass-produced statues, each one was a masterpiece.I was told that in ancient China, artisans, craftspeople, and skilled laborers had very high social status. Creating art and mastering a craft was seen as sacred work that honored the gods and ancestors. The artists who built the terracotta army devoted their lives to this important ritual project.Watching documentaries about the excavation and learning about the construction process made me appreciate the immense effort it took to build the terracotta army. Thoseancient craftsmen from over 2,000 years ago worked tirelessly with limited resources yet achieved something so magnificent and lasting.Their spirit of discipline, hard work, and perfection really inspired me. It made me realize that no matter what craft or skill you pursue in life, you should strive for excellence. Putting in your full effort, not taking shortcuts, and perfecting your craft - that is the ultimate form of honor and legacy.From this field trip, I learned that true mastery comes from passion, grit, and patience over a long journey. Those terracotta warriors will be studied and admired for thousands of more years because of the incredible craftsmanship behind them. I hope to approach my own schoolwork, hobbies, and future career with that same spirit someday.After this inspiring experience, I have a profound new appreciation for art, craftsmanship, and the amazing abilities of human hands and minds. Those ancient Chinese artisans poured decades of work into an immortal masterpiece - the extraordinary Terracotta Army. Their spirit of perseverance and excellence has stood the test of time and continues to wow the world over 2,000 years later.篇4Here's an essay about visiting the Terracotta Warriors and learning about the spirit of craftsmanship, written in a primary school student's tone with approximately 2,000 words in English.A Wondrous Visit to the Terracotta WarriorsHey there, friends! I'm so excited to tell you about my recent adventure to the incredible Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, China. It was a trip that left me awestruck and taught me something truly special.Imagine this: you're walking through a massive museum, and suddenly, you come face-to-face with thousands oflife-sized soldier statues made entirely out of clay! That's exactly what happened when my family and I visited the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. It was like stepping back in time to an ancient army frozen in place!Each soldier was unique, with their own expressions, hairstyles, and even facial features. Some were standing tall, ready for battle, while others were kneeling or carrying weapons. It was like they could come to life at any moment!But that's not even the most mind-blowing part. You see, these terracotta warriors were created over 2,200 years ago toguard the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China. Can you imagine working on such an incredible project so long ago? It must have taken years and years of hard work!As I walked through the museum, I couldn't help but feel amazed at the incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these warriors. Every single one was handmade, with clay being molded, fired, and painted to perfection. It's like the ancient artists poured their hearts and souls into each figure.And you know what's even cooler? They found all sorts of fun things buried with the warriors, like chariots, horses, and even acrobats! It's like they wanted to make sure the emperor had everything he needed for the afterlife, even entertainment.But the best part of the whole experience was learning about the "spirit of craftsmanship" that drove the ancient artisans. You see, back then, people took immense pride in their work. They didn't just create things quickly or carelessly; they poured their passion and dedication into every single piece.I learned that the artisans who made the terracotta warriors were true masters of their craft. They studied for years, perfecting their skills and techniques until they could createmasterpieces like the ones I saw. And you know what? That same spirit of craftsmanship is still alive today!Whenever you see something truly amazing, whether it's a beautiful painting, a delicious meal, or even a well-made toy, you can bet that someone put their heart and soul into creating it. Just like those ancient artisans, they took pride in their work and strived for perfection.I've decided that I want to embrace that same spirit of craftsmanship in everything I do. Whether it's a school project, helping out around the house, or just playing with my friends, I'm going to give it my all and do my best work. Because that's what the terracotta warriors taught me – that true craftsmanship is about dedication, passion, and never settling for anything less than your best.So, the next time you see something incredible, take a moment to appreciate the hard work and dedication that went into creating it. And remember, no matter what you're doing, always strive to be a true craftsperson, just like the amazing artisans who brought the terracotta warriors to life.Who knows, maybe one day, people will be marveling at your hard work and craftsmanship, too!篇5A Trip to See the Terracotta Army and What I LearnedLast summer, my family went on a really cool trip to Xi'an to see the amazing Terracotta Warriors! It was the best museum I've ever been to. Let me tell you all about it.We took a bullet train from Beijing to Xi'an, which is an ancient city that used to be the capital a long time ago during the Qin Dynasty. It's where the Terracotta Army was built and discovered buried underground. On the way there, my dad told me and my little brother all about Emperor Qin Shi Huang and how he unified China into one big empire for the first time.Emperor Qin was a really powerful ruler, but also kind of mean. He forced everyone to follow his laws and burned a lot of books he didn't like. But one awesome thing he did was start building this giant underground tomb for himself, with a whole army of life-sized terracotta warrior statues to protect him in the afterlife! How cool is that?When we got to the museum site, I couldn't believe how big it was. The warriors were buried in these huge pits, and three of the main pits have already been excavated and you can walk around them. The first pit we went into had rows and rows ofinfantry soldiers, each one slightly different. They were posed standing in formation, ready for battle with swords, lances and everything!Up close, you could see all the tiny, amazing details that the ancient craftsmen carved into each statue - their hairstyles, facial features, uniforms and armor were all unique. Even their ranks and roles in the army were different based on their poses, clothing, and what weapons they carried. My dad said this showed how skilled and dedicated the Qin artisans were.In the second pit, we saw terracotta cavalry soldiers on horse statues along with traditional horse-drawn chariots. The horses looked so lifelike, with perfect hooves, manes and reins. I've never seen anything so realistic made just from clay and soil before! My little brother loved looking at the chariots up close.The third pit just had the bases and legs of statues mapped out, because those ones hadn't been excavated fully yet. It made me imagine all the other amazing terracotta creations that might still be buried underground after over 2,000 years!While walking around the exhibits, I learned that it took over 700,000 workers and craftsmen from across China to build Emperor Qin's gigantic mausoleum and terracotta army over almost 40 years. And get this - they used to make the warriors insections, with different people specializing in sculpting just the legs, torsos, heads, etc. Then they would fire each piece in a kiln before assembling them into the full statues.Our tour guide told us about the process they used back then, which was called assembly-line manufacturing. This meant that different worker teams focused on making just their one specific part really, really well through lots of practice and dedication. No robots or machines, just skilled human artists and their tools! She explained that this method allowed the Qin workers to craft each piece to perfection while producing the huge quantities needed for an army of 8,000 warriors, 130 chariots and over 600 terracotta horses.I thought it was amazing how the ancient Qin people were able to create such an incredible, gigantic work of art using simple tools and materials from the earth around them. The craftsmanship and artistry was mindblowing! My parents were really impressed too and kept talking about the "spirit of craftsmanship" that those long-ago artisans had.I realized that the Terracotta Warriors were more than just interesting old statues. They showed the power of human creativity, hard work and skill when people truly dedicate themselves as masters of their craft. Even after over 2,000 yearsburied underground, the warriors still looked perfect and the detailed artistry could be clearly seen.On our last day in Xi'an, my dad took me and my brother to visit an arts and crafts workshop where they still use old Chinese pottery and sculpting methods. We got to try making little terracotta warrior statues ourselves. I have to admit, it was really hard work! But I kept practicing until I sculpted a little warrior figure I was proud of. The teacher there told me I had shown "the spirit of craftsmanship" by being so patient and focused.I think seeing the Terracotta Warriors up close and trying to make pottery art myself taught me a really important lesson - no matter what you do in life, you should always try your absolute best and take pride in your work, just like those ancient craftsmen did. Even though they've been gone for thousands of years, their dedication and artistry lives on through their incredible terracotta creations. I hope that if I keep working hard on developing my own skills and crafts, maybe someday I could make something amazing that lasts forever too!Going to Xi'an and experiencing the Terracotta Army was definitely the best trip ever. I'll never forget walking among those breathtaking warriors and feeling inspired by the remarkable "spirit of craftsmanship" that went into creating sucha historic and stunning work of art. I want to have that same spirit myself as I keep learning, growing, and working hard on becoming really good at something I'm passionate about.。

高一英语作文向外国朋友介绍中国兵马俑全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Awesome Terracotta Warrior FriendsHi! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I live in Xi'an, which is an ancient city in China. Today I want to tell you all about the coolest thing in my hometown - the Terracotta Warriors! They are these amazing life-size soldier statues that were buried underground for over 2,000 years before they were discovered.Let me start from the beginning. A loooong time ago in 210 BC, there was this powerful emperor named Qin Shi Huang. He was the first emperor to unify China into one huge empire. Qin Shi Huang was kind of a tough guy. Some people even thought he was a bit mean and bossy. But he accomplished great things and made China stronger than ever before.One of Qin Shi Huang's biggest projects was building a massive mausoleum, which is like a giant tomb, for himself when he died. He wanted to be buried with mind-blowing treasures fit for an emperor. But the craziest part was that he had thousandsupon thousands of life-sized terracotta soldier statues made to guard his tomb! Each statue was unique with different facial features, heights, and details. It's amazing how realistic they look.After the emperor died in 210 BC, all of these terracotta warriors were buried with him in underground vault near his mausoleum. No one knew about them for centuries and centuries until, in 1974, some farmers were digging a well and accidentally stumbled upon one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time!When the archaeologists came to investigate, they were stunned to find this underground terror with row after row of life-size terracotta soldier statues standing in formation as if ready for battle. It was like an entire underground army had been frozen in time, guarding the emperor's tomb. So far, they have uncovered over 8,000 warrior statues along with hundreds of terracotta horses and chariots. Isn't that just mind-blowing?Each warrior statue is truly a work of art. They were created with such intricate details like different uniform designs, different facial expressions, hairstyles and ranks. Some of them were generals or archers or cavalry members. You can almost imagine them coming alive and yelling orders at each other! The artisans who made them must have been so talented.The most amazing part is that each sculpted warrior is unique. Their faces, bodies, and details are all slightly different. Scholars believe they were modeled after the emperor's actual soldiers to create the world's first lifesized multimedia art installation! How cool is that?The Terracotta Warriors give us such an amazing window into understanding ancient Chinese culture, artistry, and beliefs about the afterlife. Just imagine all the work, manpower, and resources it took to construct something so immense and intricate over 2,000 years ago. It makes me feel proud of my cultural heritage.Excavations are still ongoing even today at the mausoleum site and new discoveries are constantly being made. They've barely uncovered 20% of the entire tomb complex so who knows what other treasures are still waiting to be found!I really want to be an archaeologist when I grow up so I can dig for relics and learn about history just like the ones who uncovered these Terracotta Warriors. For now, whenever I go to the museum exhibit I just stare in awe at the army of warriors standing tall and strong after all these centuries. In my imagination, I can see them coming to life, marching forward bravely to protect their emperor's eternal resting place.The Terracotta Warriors are so awesome and such an important part of China's culture and history. If you ever get a chance to come visit Xi'an, I'll be your personal tour guide to see these amazing statues up close! Just don't be surprised if they look like they're about to start yelling orders at you in Chinese. That's how lifelike they are! I feel so lucky to have these incredible Terracotta Warrior friends watching over my city.篇2Here's an essay introducing the Terracotta Warriors to a foreign friend, written from the perspective of an elementary school student in English with a length of around 2000 words:My Foreign Friend, Meet the Terracotta Warriors!Hey there, my foreign friend! Today, I'm going to tell you about something super cool from my home country, China. Are you ready? Okay, let me introduce you to the Terracotta Warriors!Imagine this: a long, long time ago, around 210 BC, there was a powerful emperor named Qin Shi Huang. He ruled over a vast empire and wanted to be buried with an army to protect him in the afterlife. So, he ordered his workers to create amind-blowing underground army made of terracotta (a type ofclay). Can you picture it? Thousands and thousands of life-sized soldier statues, all standing guard!Now, here's the crazy part: these statues weren't just plain old clay figures. Nope, each and every one of them had unique facial features, hairstyles, and even different uniforms and ranks! Some were generals, some were archers, and some were cavalry soldiers with their horses. It was like a real army frozen in time!But wait, there's more! Not only were the soldiers incredibly detailed, but the whole underground tomb was like a miniature city. There were stables for the horses, command posts for the generals, and even a grand entrance gate fit for an emperor. It was like a secret underground world waiting to be discovered!Unfortunately, after the emperor's death, the location of this terracotta army was lost for centuries. Nobody knew where it was or even if it really existed. That is, until 1974, when some farmers were digging a well and accidentally stumbled upon one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time!Can you imagine the farmer's faces when they first saw those life-sized soldier figures poking out of the ground? They must have thought they were dreaming or had discovered some sort of magic! But nope, it was real – they had found the legendary Terracotta Warriors!Since then, archaeologists have been carefully digging up and studying these amazing clay figures. So far, they've uncovered over 8,000 soldiers, along with hundreds of horses and chariots. And you know what's really cool? Each figure is slightly different, which means they were individually crafted by skilled artisans almost 2,200 years ago!But that's not all! The excavation site is massive, and experts believe there are still thousands more terracotta figures waiting to be uncovered. It's like a never-ending treasure trove of ancient secrets!Now, I know what you're thinking: "That's all well and good, but why are these terracotta figures so important?" Well, my friend, let me tell you. These warriors give us an incredible glimpse into ancient Chinese history, culture, and craftsmanship. They show us how advanced and skilled the people of that time were, and how much importance they placed on honoring their leaders and preparing for the afterlife.Plus, the sheer scale and detail of this underground army are just mind-blowing. It's a testament to the ambition, creativity, and hard work of the ancient Chinese people. And let's not forget – it was all hidden underground for over 2,000 years, just waiting to be rediscovered!So, there you have it, my friend – the amazing story of the Terracotta Warriors. Aren't they just the coolest thing ever? I mean, can you imagine having an entire army of clay soldiers guarding your final resting place? Talk about going out with a bang!But don't just take my word for it. If you ever get the chance, you absolutely must visit the museum in Xi'an, China, where these incredible warriors are on display. Trust me, seeing them in person is an experience you'll never forget.And who knows, maybe one day you and I can go explore the excavation site together! We could be the ones to uncover the next mind-blowing terracotta figure. Wouldn't that be the adventure of a lifetime?Well, that's all for now, my friend. I hope you enjoyed learning about the Terracotta Warriors as much as I enjoyed telling you about them. Until next time, happy exploring!Your pal,[Your Name]篇3The Amazing Terracotta ArmyHi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I live in Xi'an, which is an amazing city in China with over 3,000 years of history! Today I want to tell you all about one of the coolest things from ancient China - the Terracotta Warriors.Have you ever heard of the Terracotta Army before? It's mindblowing! Imagine this - sometime around 200 years before Jesus was even born, a mighty emperor had an entire army of life-size clay soldiers made to guard his tomb after he died. Wild, right?This emperor's name was Qin Shi Huang. He was the very first emperor to unite ancient China into one huge empire. Qin Shi Huang was extremely powerful but also kind of paranoid and obsessed with living forever. He had court advisors called "The Alchemists" who tried all kinds of crazy potions and elixirs to make him immortal. Unfortunately, none of them worked and the emperor died in 210 BC.Before his death though, Qin Shi Huang started an epic construction project - a gigantic underground mausoleum near his capital city of Xianyang. This tomb was going to be his final resting place and it needed to be fit for an emperor. So he ordered the creation of the Terracotta Army to protect his tomb and serve him in the afterlife.The Terracotta Warriors were built by thousands of workers over nearly 40 years! Each individual figure was crafted by hand to be unique, with different facial features, hairstyles, poses and uniforms. Archaeologists have estimated that in its complete form, there may have been over 8,000 soldier statues along with hundreds of horses and chariots. Just picturing that number of life-sized figures is crazy!Sadly, not long after the emperor's death, the Terracotta Army was forgotten and its location was lost for centuries. It wasn't rediscovered until 1974 when some farmers were digging a well and accidentally broke through the entrance to the underground pit where the warriors were buried. Can you imagine being those farmers and stumbling upon that?!When archaeologists went inside, they were stunned to find this massive army of Terracotta Soldiers in battle formations, just as they had been arranged over 2,000 years ago. Many of the figures were in pieces from the roof collapsing over the centuries. But thanks to their work reassembling and studying the warriors, we now know so much about their incredible craftsmanship and details like the armor decorations and rank insignias.Each warrior figure was made from local clay and baked at extremely high temperatures to harden them. Interestingly, theywere originally painted with bright pigments of color, though most of the paint has worn off over time. There are generals, infantrymen, charioteers, horses, and many different types of soldiers represented. The artisans who sculpted them about 2,200 years ago did an amazing job making them look so lifelike and real.To protect this priceless find, the Terracotta Warriors are now housed in a special museum in Xi'an called the Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum Site Museum. Walking through the exhibits, you can see thousands of reassembled warrior figures ranked in underground battle formation pits, just as they were originally created. It gives me chills thinking about the amount of work and scale that went into creating this terracotta army so long ago!There's still a lot of mystery around the entire mausoleum though. Based on writing from the time, historians believe the main tomb of Emperor Qin is located under a huge earthen mound nearby that hasn't been excavated yet. They think the whole layout with the Terracotta Army was designed based on the emperor's vision of his afterlife underground kingdom. Pretty wild imagination for ancient times, huh?Some people have theorized that the main tomb may even contain rivers of mercury representing the major rivers of the ancient Chinese empire. If that's true, disturbing and digging up the tomb could be extremely dangerous. For now, archaeologists have decided it's better to leave the main tomb untouched until they can find a safe way to study it.That means the Terracotta Army and underground pits we can see now are likely just the start - perhaps only making up a small portion of the full tomb complex. I find that so exciting to think about! Whenever I visit the museum, I look at the warriors on display and imagine future discoveries that may reveal even more mind-blowing wonders of this ancient underground world.Not bad for a massive project first envisioned over 2,200 years ago, right? I'm really lucky to have this world-famous archaeological treasure located right near my hometown. The thousands of Terracotta Warriors continue to capture people's imaginations and stand as a symbol of ancient Chinese history, culture and artistry.If you're wondering my favorite part, I'd have to say it's trying to spot all the subtle differences in each figure's facial features. My friends and I have a game where we try to imagine what personality or job each soldier had based on how he wassculpted. That mustached one over there? He was probably a gruff drill sergeant. The pensive looking archer? Maybe a young genius strategist. Use your creativity and you can picture all sorts of heroic stories behind each member of the Terracotta Army.Anyways, that's my elementary school kid's take on this amazing historical site in China! I hope you found it interesting and that you can come visit the Terracotta Warriors yourself someday. This 2,200 year old sculpture garden of an army is truly one of the most fascinating remnants of ancient Chinese culture. Just mind-boggling if you ask me!Let me know if you have any other questions about the Terracotta Army or my hometown Xi'an. I may be just a kid, but I'm happy to share what I know about this remarkable archaeological wonder that the whole world can enjoy and study. Thanks for reading, my friend!篇4My Awesome Chinese Terracotta Army!Hi! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I live in Xi'an, China which is a really cool historic city. Today I want to tell you all about one of the most amazing archaeological discoveries ever - the Terracotta Warriors and Horses! They are so awesomeand I'm super excited to share what I've learned about them with you.So get ready, because this story is just mind-blowing! It all started in 1974 when some farmers were digging a well near the city of Xi'an. Can you imagine just being a regular farmer, digging a well, and then BOOM - you stumble upon one of the greatest archeological treasures in the world? That's exactly what happened!The farmers found a life-size terracotta warrior, which is a statue made of baked clay. At first, they probably thought "Oh neat, a little statue!" But little did they know, this wasn't just any old statue. It was part of an underground army that had been buried for over 2,000 years! Once archeologists came to check it out, they realized the farmer had discovered the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China.Now who was this Qin Shi Huang guy? He was one tough cookie! He came into power in 221 BC when he was just 13 years old. By the time he was 38, he had conquered all the warring states and unified China into one strong empire. Qin Shi Huang was an incredible strategist and fighter, but he was also pretty paranoid and wanted to make sure his reign lasted forever.So what did he do? He ordered the construction of an incredible underground palace guarded by a life-size Terracotta Army! These warriors were positioned in military formation with horses, chariots, and weapons - all to protect him in the afterlife. Wild, right?When the Terracotta Warriors were first unearthed, they were brightly painted in incredible colors. Sadly, after being buried for over 2,000 years, a lot of the paint wore off. But you can still see some remnants of color on the warriors and historians think they would have looked super vibrant back in Emperor Qin's day.So here's the crazy part - so far, over 8,000 warrior statues have been uncovered at the site. Plus horses, chariots, acrobats, and other figures! Each warrior statue is unique with different facial features, heights, and details. Some even have hair loveknots and arched eyebrow slits that were trendy hairstyles back then. How awesome is that?The level of craftsmanship and detail is just mind-boggling for something made over 2,000 years ago. Experts think it took over 700,000 workers and 36 years to construct the mausoleum and terracotta figures before Qin Shi Huang even passed away. Talk about an intense art project!My favorite parts are the different warrior ranks and poses. There were commanders, infantrymen, cavalry troops, acrobats, and entertainers - all in lifelike positions like they were ready for battle. From the generals with fierce expressions to the soldiers tugging on horse bridles, every figure is so dynamic and expressive. It's like you can imagine them coming to life!When I visited the excavation site, I was in complete awe. Seeing the thousands of lifelike warrior figures lined up in their underground battle formations gave me chills. I felt like I had traveled back over 2,000 years to ancient China! No photos can really capture how enormous and impressive the Terracotta Army is in person.There are still many mysteries around the warriors that historians are trying to figure out. Like how did they make colors that have remained so vibrant after 2,000 years? Why were there no written records about the construction? And where is the main section with Emperor Qin's tomb - it still hasn't been uncovered!I really hope they can unearth more sections and solve the mysteries of this incredible archaeological wonder. For now, we can just marvel at the thousands of warriors, horses, and figures that have already been discovered. The Terracotta Army is one ofChina's most iconic treasures - an underground time capsule offering an astounding window into the past.If you ever get a chance to visit Xi'an, you have to go see the Terracotta Warriors for yourself! I promise you'll be just as amazed as I was by this incredible 2,000-year-old toy army created by one powerful, egotistical, and slightly paranoid emperor. The Terracotta Warriors are the epitome of the adventurous spirit andgenius of ancient China. I'm so proud they are part of my cultural heritage!篇5Here's a 2000-word essay introducing the Terracotta Warriors to foreign friends, written in the style of an elementary school student:My Chinese Terracotta ArmyHi there! My name is Xiaoming, and I'm from Xi'an, China. Today, I want to tell you about something really cool from my hometown – the Terracotta Warriors! These are ancient statue soldiers that were buried underground for thousands of years. Let me tell you all about them!A Long Time Ago...A loooong time ago, around 210 BC, there was a powerful emperor in China named Qin Shi Huang. He was the first emperor to unite all of China into one big country. Qin Shi Huang was a great warrior, but he was also kind of a meanie. He made lots of rules that were really strict, and he even burned many books because he didn't want people learning things he didn't like.But apart from being a big meanie, Qin Shi Huang was also really scared of dying. He didn't want to go to the afterlife all alone, so he had a brilliant idea! He ordered his workers to make a huge underground army out of clay soldiers called the "Terracotta Warriors." That way, he would have a strong army to protect him in the afterlife.Building the Terracotta ArmyCan you imagine how much work it was to make thousands of life-sized clay soldiers? It must have taken forever! The workers had to sculpt each soldier's face to make them look different from one another. They even gave the soldiers different hairstyles, heights, and facial expressions. Some soldiers look angry, some look calm, and some even look a little bit silly!The workers also made horses, chariots, and weapons out of clay for the army. They wanted the Terracotta Warriors to beready for battle in the afterlife. When the emperor died, they buried the entire Terracotta Army underground near his huge tomb. Isn't that crazy?Underground for Thousands of YearsAfter the emperor was buried, the Terracotta Army stayed hidden underground for over 2,000 years! Nobody knew they were there. In 1974, some farmers were digging a well, and they accidentally discovered some pieces of the clay warriors. Archaeologists (those are people who study ancient things) were called in, and they spent many years carefully digging up the buried Terracotta Army.What They FoundWhen the archaeologists dug everything up, they found over 8,000 life-sized Terracotta Warriors! Each one is unique, with different facial features and expressions. There are infantry soldiers, archers, charioteers, and even generals leading the troops. The level of detail on each figure is incredible, especially when you think about how long ago they were made.The warriors are arranged in battle formation, just like they were ready to protect the emperor in the afterlife. Archaeologists have also found weapons, chariots, and even terracotta acrobatsand musicians buried with the army. It's like an entire underground city waiting to come to life!Protecting the WarriorsNowadays, the Terracotta Warriors are one of the most famous archaeological discoveries in the world. People come from all over to see them at the museum in Xi'an. But the warriors are very old and fragile, so the museum has to be really careful to protect them.The museum keeps the warriors in a special air-conditioned building with the perfect temperature and humidity levels. They even have a special lab where they repair any damaged warriors. It's a lot of work, but it's important to preserve these amazing ancient artifacts for future generations to enjoy.My Favorite PartMy favorite part of the Terracotta Warriors is how different each one looks. Some have big muscles, some have skinny arms, and some even have little tummies sticking out! I like to imagine what each warrior's personality might have been like when they were "alive." Maybe the ones with angry faces were always grumpy, and the ones with silly expressions liked to tell jokes.I also think it's really cool that the emperor wanted an entire army to protect him in the afterlife. It shows how powerful and important he must have felt. Even though he was a meanie, you have to admit that building thousands of life-sized clay soldiers is a pretty impressive feat!If You Visit Xi'anIf you ever get a chance to visit Xi'an, you have to go see the Terracotta Warriors. They're one of the most incredible archaeological discoveries in the world, and they're right in my hometown! Just remember, no touching the warriors – they're very old and fragile.And who knows, maybe if you look closely enough, you'll spot a Terracotta Warrior that looks just like you! Wouldn't that be crazy? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed learning about my city's famous underground army. Let me know if you have any other questions!Your friend,Xiaoming。

兵马俑中英导游词范文1：朋友们好!我是高思淼，你们叫我小高吧!今天我们来游览秦兵马俑博物馆。
记住游览时请要保持卫生，不要用闪光摄像头照相。
秦兵马俑至今已挖掘五个俑坑，秦兵马俑的发现人是杨新平，他是在一次打井时发现的。
因刚拿出来受到阳光的强烈照射，所以变了颜色。
我们先游览五号坑。
看!那面积多大!差不多有13个篮球场那么大。
兵马俑排列也很合理。
外圈的两排士兵作为守护、近杀;在里一圈的骑兵俑也有守护作用;最里头的弩兵俑在中间向敌人发箭……这样发挥了兵马俑最大优势。
接着是四号坑，四号坑兵马稀少，好像是军阵后方的守卫兵。
三号坑兵马排列相似五号坑，可有五个将军俑让人惊叹：第一个将军俑右腿跪于地面，两手动作握着宝剑。
第三、四哥也是分别左右腿跪于地面，但手是拔出剑的。
第五个从左面看是陕西地图的样子，好像表达了它生(生长)在陕西，战(战争)在陕西。
看我这记性，都忘了告你们兵马俑在什么地方了：兵马俑位于中国陕西西安临潼，或者你们是外星人，我就要说的是：太阳系地球中国陕西西安。
行了，开个玩笑。
咱们二号坑就简单看看……一号坑在五个坑里最大，面积为一万四千二百六十平方米。
大家发现所有的兵马俑都身材魁梧。

兵马俑博物馆（MuseumofTerraCottaWarriors）_高考英语作文
兵马俑博物馆(Museum of Terra Cotta Warriors)xi'an, once the capital of eleven chinese dynasties, is famous throughout the world for life-sized terra-cotta warriors and horses. they have won fame as one of the greatest archaeological finds of this century. back in 1974, while digging a well to fight drought, some farmers from lintong county, about thirty kilometers east of xi'an, unearthed some brown pottery fragments, which led to the great discovery of the executed terra-cotta legions as an exterior section of the mausoleum, of qin shi huang or first emperor of the qin dynasty (255-210b. c. ) details of "qin shi huang's tomb can be traced in the historical records (compiled by sima qian) and legends about it have been widespread. however, for technical reasons, the major part of the tomb remains unexcavated today with its mound still standing 76 meters high against the slopes of mt. lishan and facing the huishui river.after 20 years of careful excavation three underground vaults officially opened to the public in 1979, 1989, and 1994 respectively, displaying thousands of terra-cotta warriors, horses and chariots, all arranged in battle formations.vault 1, built with earth and timber, measures 210 meters long, 60 meters wide and 4. 6 to 6. 5 meters high. in this area of 12, 600 square meters, six thousand life-sized warriors and horses of terra-cotta were found in rectangular battle formation. the troops were of a fairly uniform height of 1.8 meters. they wear helmets and armor and carry real bows and arrows, swords, lances, javelins and crossbows in their hands. each chariot, made of wood, is drawn by a team of four horses, 1. 5 meters in height. three rows of infantrymen make up the vanguard of the formation, and these are followed by the main body of the army,38 rows of troops. there are also flank columns and rearguards. the array breathes the power of qin shi huang's army.vault 2 is approximately one half vault i in size, housing nearly a thousand pottery warriors. compared with vault 1, these warriors are of a larger variety and arranged in more complex battle array. unlike vault 1, the war chariots and infantrymen are arranged separately in four square formations which are linked to one another in a polygon. again, however, the warriors carry real weapons. the projecting part of the polygon consists of archers, either standing or kneeling, with crossbows or handbows and quivers and so 'appears to be the vanguard of the phalanx.the archers are followed by a unit of cavalrymen to the left and one of chariots to the right, forming the two wings of the phalanx. infantrymen and war chariots bring up the rear. each chariot drawn by four horses has1l driver and two assistants, one on either side. the charioteers are armored and carry spears, swords and crossbows, indicating that they could engage in long-range battles, short-range fighting and hand-to-hand combat. all the cavalrymen carry crossbows, a sign that shooting on horseback was a common practice in the army at that time.from among the chariots a robust and unusually tall figure at 1. 95 meters has been unearthed. his armor is interlinked and overlapped with finer metal pieces than that of the common soldiers, and he is believed to be a high-ranking commander of the 1egion.vault 3 is a modest building more resembling a gallery. it has 69 pottery warriors with defensive weapons and a wooden chariot pulled by four magnificent horses. the structure of the gallery and the line-up of the soldiers suggest that this was likely the headquarters of the troops of vault 1 and 2.however, thecommander is missing. many archaeologists believe that since the underground army represents the emperor's garrison under his direct command, no marshal was necessary.altogether ten thousand pieces of actual weaponry have been unearthed from the three vaults, including arrow-heads, swords., spears and halberds. two long-handled swords dug out recently are still sharp and gleaming despite their burial for more than two thousand years. some bronze arrow-heads from vault 2 are 41 cm in length and 100 grams in weight. they are the biggest bronze weapons excavated in china. important to the study of qin technology was the discovery of bronze arrow-heads and swords treated with a preservative that has prevented erosion for 22 centuries. chemical analysis revealed the sword to have been cast of an alloy of copper, tin and various other elements, including nickel, magnesium, and cobalt. the arrow-heads which contain 7. 71 percent lead are considered by archaeologists to be the world's most poisonous.experts expect future discoveries to unearth even more amazing art treasures. but they warn that it may require the efforts of one or two generations to recover the entire tomb complex of emperor qin shi huang.the three vaults are well preserved in three modern constructions, each with an arched dome and a corridor along the side of the vault so that visitors may overlook the restored figures of warriors, horses and chariots in their original formations. vault 2 is equipped with devices for regulating temperature, lighting and air humidity.。

Jacques Shirac, president of France, once said: "One can't claim to have visited China unless one has seen these Terra-cotta Warriors." Shirac predicted that the life-size warriors would become a major tourist attraction for visitors from around the world. Indeed, since its excavation in 1974, millions of foreign visitors have toured the Terra-cotta Warriors Museum in Xi’an and marveled at the underground wonders.The museum covers an area of 14,000 square meters and contains 6,000 life-size terra-cotta warriors and horses. The impressive sight of the figurines lined in neat formation grips the spectators with grandeur and magnificence and capture their admiration.The 2,200 year-old wonder was part of the Tomb of Qinshihuang, the first emperor of China. It is located in suburb of Xi'an (Shaanxi Province) and was discovered when local farmers were digging a well nearby. Three exhibition halls house the continuing excavation of an army of 7,000 terra-cotta soldiers and horses that guard the tomb of Qinshihuang.Location of Shaanxi Provinceof the figurines. Of course, it is difficult to distinguish this with the naked eye." A research paper on the subject will soon be published in the "Archaeological Journal".According to the "Beijing Evening News", researchers have come to the conclusion that different pollen found on the figurines indicates that the Qin terracotta horses were made from materials collected near the mausoleum itself, whereas the warriors were most likely produced somewhere far from the Mausoleum. The precise location is unknown. The terracotta horses are two meters long and weigh 200 kilograms. The Terracotta Warriors weigh about 150 kilograms each. The legs of the horses were the most difficult to make and the most fragile, so researchers presume the horses were produced close to the mausoleum to shorten the transportation distance.•Terracotta Warriors face growing mould threatXinhua, Oct. 18, 2006 - Forty-eight types of mould are eating away at China's 2,000-year-old Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, reports Wednesday's Beijing Morning Post. Scientists fromBelgium insist that if the moulds are not killed quickly the ancient relics will be doomed. Themuseum jointly set up a microbe lab with Janssen Pharmaceutical Belgium in 2001 to curb the growth of the mould, which has damaged the surface of the statues, resulting in color changes.The mould is also said to be nibbling away at the inner material that could lead to irreparabledamage. Temperature changes caused by millions of visitors a year is thought to be the major reason behind the growing mould problem. The museum extended its cooperation with the two pharmaceutical companies by signing an agreement on Tuesday to set up a cultural relicprotection and research center. The terracotta army was found in the tomb of China's firstemperor, Qinshihuang, outside the city of Xi'an in the 1970s by farmers digging a well.•German Man Fools Police with Terracotta Warrior DisguiseXinhua News, Sep. 18, 2006 - A 26-year-old German art student out-foxed police on Saturday by disguising himself as a terracotta warrior and "taking up position" among the world-famous terracotta army in Xi'an. Pablo Wendel was seen jumping into the five-meter deep pit at 2p.m.on Saturday to stand among 2,000 terracotta warriors and horses in the terracotta armymuseum, local police told Xinhua on Sunday.•80 Million Visits Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses October 9, 2004 - More than 80 million people have visited Qin terra cotta warriorsand horses in past three decades. The Qin terra cotta warriors and horses were buried in thegrave of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang, who died more than 2,000 years ago. They were uncovered by peasants who were digging a well in 1973 in Lintong County of Shanxi Province, and are recognized as world cultural heritage along with Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum in 1987.The Museum of Qin terra cotta warriors and horses have been chosen as one of China's tennational scenic spots.•Report: German Man Fools Police with Terracotta Warrior DisguiseXinhua News Agency September 18, 2006 - A 26-year-old German art student out-foxed police on Saturday by disguising himself as a terracotta warrior and "taking up position" among the world-famous terracotta army in Xi'an.Pablo Wendel was seen jumping into the five-meter deep pit at 2p.m. on Saturday to stand among 2,000 terracotta warriors and horses in the terracotta army museum, local police told Xinhua on Sunday.A sudden movement by Wendel startled the six police officers on duty, who rushed over and followed Wendel into the pit.But Wendel was well prepared. He had carried out a reconnaissance mission a few days earlier and had selected a spot among the warriors that would give him the most cover.Better still, he had designed himself a gown and hat, identical to those once worn by Emperor Qinshihuang's warriors, in Hangzhou in east China where he currently studies performance art, and even brought a rectangular plinth to stand on. After leaping into the pit, he quickly donned his costume and waited.Police said it took them two minutes to find the "living terracotta warrior", clad in military garb and staring straight ahead with unblinking eyes.The police officers tried to force him to leave but Wendel refused to budge, persisted with his prostrate pose. Finally, the police officers had no choice but to carry him out, the police said.Wendel, whose Chinese name is Ma Lin, said that he has been crazy about the terracotta warriors since childhood. "I have always dreamed of disguising myself as a terracotta warrior among the real ones," he explained.Police did not charge Wendel because his actions did not cause any damage to the cultural relics and he was clearly passionate about the warriors. They felt that "serious criticism and education" was。
