"Travel to China did not go to Xian, did not mean to China; to Xi'an and the terracotta warriors and horses did not go, did not mean to Xi'an." Such an affirmation of the recognition given to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses noble his statement is really not an exaggeration. However, they not only that, whether you are a first visit to Xi'an or Back there again, Terra Cotta Warriors will always give you a "read enough" feeling. Last year, I come here especially when the magnificent Terracotta Warriors and Horses, I left only one word: "never", this "must" for the absolutely unprecedented, but also absolutely unparalleled masterpiece; and this year I went to Terra Cotta Warriors, I have also left just one word: "wonderful", it is simply a microcosm of Qin military force, worthy of the title Total Annihilation, engulfed by the six countries of the mighty, whether it is cycling Crossbowmen integrated military array, or large-scale infantry array.

Lintong Xi'an terracotta warriors and horses, but Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum of the tip of the iceberg, less than one-tenth of what a pity the construction of the project is a huge year the emperor's tomb, the use of labor as much as can be described as unprecedented, Sima Qian's "700,000 Lishan prisoners" is that there should be only drop in the ocean just ah! 13-year-old Emperor Qin ascended the throne in accordance with the system, from the prime minister Lu Pu-wei began to build his mausoleum, from 247 BC to 210 BC, the before and after more than thirty years, the use of your porter of the masses, the wide area can be described as unprecedented, of course, the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang Hao large-scale, for it is really unprecedented in the Qin Dynasty, and Emperor Jiabeng less than half a century, the Qin Dynasty followed the launch of China's historical stage.

With the history of go away, people have forgotten this one so that the Chinese people amazed by it, to foreigners the grand architectural marvel. Since 2000, in a long spell of drought days without rain in March, the local villagers in search of water, in the present Terracotta Army on the 1st hole at the top chisel to dig wells, buried in the ground for nearly 20 centuries of terracotta warriors and horses can finally see a bright future啦! However, his presence this is not the time, when we are busy denounced the "monsters", "reactionary authority", no one is willing to distracted to pay attention to this feudal society, the "remnants." Is someone willing to turn its attention to his body, but also very few, very secret, for fear the slightest Zhang Yang will also be arranged paraded through the streets. We then head are fever, not to upset the wonderful also. Finally coming to an 1979, long-term exposure to the sun finally comes before the Qin Dynasty Terracotta Warriors at home, was admitted to our now see the "greenhouse" where.

This first one was one of the figurines found in pits, known as "One pit", is currently found in Qin terracotta pit the largest and most imposing of a total length of 210 meters, 62 meters wide, with a total area of 14,260 square meters . Figurines the size of groups belonging to the infantry array, is a major force on the battlefield, the Warring States Period species unearthed There are more than respect, sir, according to experts estimate, on the 1st pit a total of more than 6,000 pieces of terracotta warriors and horses. In addition, there are unearthed along chariot, horses, as well as tens of thousands of pieces of a variety of bronze.

When people are being amazed by this discovery takes the cake when, in 1976, Terracotta Warriors Pit II and III have also brought to light one after another after another. On the 2nd pit discovery of Qin's unbeaten solved puzzle, full military array arrangement, each set of tanks, cavalry, Crossbowmen integrated formation, relying on tanks, cavalry, the "speed" to quickly attack the enemy , relying on Crossbowmen the "defensive" to security forces, Zhennai both offense and defense, forward and attack, retreat and defend, so that the enemy elusive, to the realm of perfect, so that the emperor ascended the throne less than a decade on the Great breaking six countries, the completion of the Central Plains earth's reunification. That year, the United States in the Gulf War preparing to launch an attack on Iraq before, there was a will come to visit, and pondering the meaning of a "quick fix Gongqibubei" offensive strategy.

On the 3rd hole is the size of the smallest and most incomplete one, might be a time when the Qin Dynasty, 70 million "workers" have been put down clay to take up arms, engaged the rebels attack the reasons for it, here placed Tao figurines at least, but according to the arrangement of pits on the 3rd of its functions have than one, on the 2nd hole is more important, because this is the army commander of the camp, according to today's force structure is what we used to say: "Command" , all military operations commands are issued from here. Here are unearthed as the shaman divination at that time of the utensils is obvious that the prevalence of witchcraft, and even a military attack, defend, ambush and then make a decision to go through divination.

Singapore-owned incumbent government, then still Prime Minister of Singapore Mr. Lee Kuan Yew was the first foreign leader to come to visit, even though he had studied in England, when the closure of Nanyang University in Singapore to govern the suspension of Chinese education, but when he came to the Warriors when , but also on what was then little-known miracle, "capitulated." But it is worth so proud of terracotta warriors and horses, but it is also a foreign leader, he is a former French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, and his sentence: "There are Seven Wonders of the world, and now the discovery of the Qin commission pits can be said that the eighth miracle" . "Listen-Jun word, better than reading ten books," Mr. Chirac's words, terracotta warriors and horses worth a sudden upsurge Since then, the Terra Cotta Warriors have the "eighth wonder of the world," in the world. I can not help thinking, "the world's eighth wonder," Why not by the reputation of the beginning of the Chinese people cried out, but would like to take a foreigner's mouth? In any case, the emperor should be grateful to Mr. Chirac. Not only the emperor, as well as more than 100 million of the contemporary Chinese people should be. In heaven, if those days more than 70 million for the construction of this miracle at the expense of the "migrant workers" has knowledge, but also the rest of the bar!
