  • Uncovering China's Wonders... The Incredible Terracotta Army - China has some of the most diverse landscapes on the planet as well as some of the most fascinating landmarks you could imagine. We spent the morning uncovering the rich history in Xi`an China wandering amongst the famous Terracotta Warriors.
    We can not believe the detail on every Terracotta Warrior and we are in awe of this incredible piece of history thinking how is this even possible? This has to be on your list of things to do in Xi`an China.

      @@wenyichen5515 There is evidence that some ancient tombs in China were filled with quicksand or gravel. When grave robbers tried to enter the tombs, quicksand and gravel would fill the tombs and bury the grave robbers alive at the same time. This may be the preventive measures you mentioned. According to historical records and contemporary scientific remote sensing research, Qin Shihuang's tomb is full of mercury. After a long time, the tomb is full of mercury vapor. If a grave robber opens the tomb, he will be poisoned by mercury vapor, which is also a preventive measure.

      1. First of all, since our country's network cannot use foreign software, you may need a VPN. It is a VPN that can be used to pass through the national firewall.
      2. It is recommended to use Alipay for payment.
      3. Navigation software can use Autonavi maps or Baidu maps. Although they are navigation software, they can also be used to take a taxi.
      Well, these software are enough to support any corner of China.

      并没有同期的史料记载工匠的下落。至于妃子,是秦始皇的儿子胡亥杀的,胡亥几乎杀光了秦始皇的所有子嗣和妃子,为了避免同族的人反抗他自己,这与秦始皇并没有直接关联。
      至于长平之战,杀俘在古代并不是不存在的事情,即使在欧洲也常发生:邓巴战役中英格兰屠杀了苏格兰俘虏、玛雅人和印第安人不仅是士兵就连平民也遭受了灭族之灾。唯一的夸张的是,长平之战的规模是40万,可是当时的中国就已经可以养活这么多兵力了,这又不是为了刻意要杀40万人祭天,而是彼此的战争规模就达到了这个人数体量,如果欧美的战争体量也能达到这个人数,那你也会看到欧美造成40万俘虏死亡的场景,但这就也就是战争,多少比欧美在二战弄死上百万犹太资本家和平民的场景要合理一些。
      而且如果仅仅是4万,就没必要杀俘虏了,就是因为40万才只能杀。当时秦国是举国力展开的长平之战,秦朝自己也没有多少粮食储备,都不用说看管的兵力,都没有粮食来给40万俘虏,所以留不下。至于放回去……之前的战争白打了么,把对方的有生兵力放回去,重新组织防守……这不是开玩笑么,太圣母了。反过来,秦国被赵国打败,并被俘虏40万,赵国也只能选择杀俘虏。彼此都耗尽了国力,谁都养不起40万俘虏。这本应是一场更惨烈的战争,但谁能想到40万赵国士兵投降了……

      In Chinese history, the evaluation of First Emperor of Qin is mixed.
      He killed many intellectuals at that time, but most of them were those who were good at deceiving and inciting the people with rhetoric.
      He burned a lot of books, but most of them were about witchcraft. He kept the really important books in the palace.
      (Some customs at that time were different from today's and cannot be judged directly by today's values. This is just like the Egyptian Pharaoh also killed a large number of workers who built the Pharaoh's tomb, but today's Western historians will not use this incident to evaluate an Egyptian Pharaoh. Not a tyrant)
      He built the Great Wall, which blocked foreign attacks for many subsequent dynasties.
      More importantly, First Emperor of Qin unified writing and weights and measures, which laid the foundation for China's long-term unification.
      Of course, China has a long history and has had many civil wars, but this unified pattern has always existed and been maintained.
      First Emperor of Qin made great contributions to the long-lasting spread of Chinese civilization, because the unified pattern helped preserve the uninterrupted Chinese civilization.
      Whether some people like it or not, this is the truth!
      If Europe had the opportunity to have a person similar to First Emperor of Qin, I believe the current world situation would be very different, Europe would be stronger! This is also one of the reasons why Alexander the Great is remembered in history.
      First Emperor of Qin's achievements do not need to be liked to become real.
      There is no point in discussing "facts" in terms of "like it or not".

    I'd recommend an old film A Terra-Cotta Warrior (1990), an early time-traveler story in which a terra-cotta warrior revives to find himself in modern society. A must-see for fans of Chinese history and time-traveler romance. The warrior Meng Tianfang was played by Zhang Yimou, indisputably the most revered film director of China who also directed the opening and closing ceremonies of 2008 Beijing Olympics.

    The Qin Dynasty was a short but powerful dynasty. Qin Shihuang (The First Emperor of Qin) not only left the Terra Cotta Warriors, but also built an unimaginable palace. It is said that all the trees in a mountain were cut down to build the palace.🤯Unfortunately, this palace was completely destroyed by the rebels afterwards.😢In addition, he also used soil to pile up a large mountain on the flat ground as his tomb.

    There is a story about the Terra Cotta Warriors. A staff member in charge of photographing the Terra Cotta Warriors found a fingerprint on the lips of the Terra Cotta Warriors when he was photographing one of the Terra Cotta Warriors. At that time, he felt a sudden touch, that is, the craftsman who made the Terra Cotta Warriors more than 2000 years ago had some connection with modern people in this way.

    At the same time, Qin Shihuang built a large number of national engineering projects, such as the emperor's mausoleum in Mount Li, the unparalleled terracotta warriors and horses, the Epang Palace in Xianyang, the ancient highway running through the capital to the border-Qinzhi Road, and the Great Wall to defend the Huns in the north. Due to the construction project, a large number of civilian workers were requisitioned, which made the people miserable and the world in chaos, and soon the revolution broke out. Although Qin Shihuang founded the first unified empire in China, the empire was very short-lived. After Qin Shihuang's death, the empire he founded soon perished in revolutions everywhere.

      The great wall actually was started building before Qin Shi Wang. Sections were built by the warlords up north before he unified China. I think Qin Shi Wang credited for linking those sections together and extended it. And then the emperors of the later dynasties also kept extending it to today's scale.

    Yesterday I watched a video of a German couple travelling by bicycle in Xinjiang. They came with a deep prejudice against China and when they met locals who didn't speak with them, they said it was the result of government oppression. When they pitched a tent in the wilderness to overnight and were discouraged by the police, they said it was the government surveilling them. When they saw newly built houses in Kashgar, they said it was the result of the government destroying the traditions of the Uyghur people and tearing down old houses to build new ones. When they saw the old city, they said it was rebuilt by the government to make money from tourism.
    This pair of Germans really can't compete with you.

    An interesting fact is that the whole Terracotta Army faces the South-east part of China. Because during the Qin Shi Huang unification war of China, the remaining six hostile countries are on the south-east part of China.

There are more treasures of the Terracotta Warriors on display in Lishan Garden, just take the free shuttle at the exit of the Terracotta Warriors to get there.
