The first hall we visited was "Tong Juma Show." Into the hall and saw two seated bronze on display inside vehicles, on the 1st of copper front of the car driving for four bronze horses, two-wheeled, single-shafts structure. Yu right of the shield cars, car hanging in front Yu has a copper and copper crossbow arrowhead. Car-li a round umbrella, umbrella stand a bronze figures of imperial officers.

After nearly six years of restoration work on the 2nd car and on the 1st car only has appeared in front of tourists.
Listening tour with his right, I can not help feeling Qin ingenious craftsmen and craftsmanship is superb and mind can not help but emerge out of the emperor when traveling pageant, hole of the ancient Chinese Tong Juma really deserves to be called the "bronze of the crown" .
"One figurines pit"
Tong Juma visiting the exhibition, I was finally able to see the long-Chung Chuan's "Prince Charming" of. Into the hall, eyes suddenly see the light, rows of quiet, awe-inspiring, panoramic view of the serious terracotta warriors and horses. I can not help but enjoy watching them one by one thin, her husband in the side of the half-jokingly half-seriously said: all of them have special Shuai, it appears here is the prince charming of all! I also had to admit this, especially the generals and samurai figurines figurines is Qiyuxuanang.
Guides to explain: on the 1st hole for the east-west rectangular pit, long 230 meters wide and 62 meters, surrounded by five each in doorways. Pit east and west ends have corridor north and south on both sides of each side of the gallery, in the middle of east-west over nine holes, cross holes with rammed earth walls between the intervals. The pit in order to soldiers as the main vehicle, vehicles, infantry into a rectangular joint formation.

Because on the 1st over the water into the pit, put the soil shortly after the completion of the beam across the lower part of the soft foam which led to partial collapse, and now the low wall than the figurines is this cause.
II "figurines pit"
One of the side door from the pit out back, we went straight on the 2nd hole of the figurines. Because relatively large damage on the 2nd hole, so only a few pit full of figurines, is said to have figurines were being repaired, we will have to take a look at the photos hanging on the wall.
Guides to explain: on the 2nd hole area of about 6,000 square meters, is expected to be unearthed in a variety of warrior figure of more than 1300 pieces, 89 by car, traveling 356, the pommel horse more than 100 pieces. The figurines hang from the vehicle soldiers, infantry and cavalry forces composed of L-shaped array, the military array is divided into four parts --

These four sections of both the relatively independent, but also in close contact with each other, set in an array of various arms and services.
"Three figurines pit"
Figurines came on the 3rd hole, obviously, than the one on the 2nd pit figurines are much smaller, but I feel that it is preserved the most complete one. Ground pits are paved with bricks was very flat, arranged opposite written for the warrior, just like the security guard as orderly.
Guides to explain: on the 3rd figurines pit area of 520 square meters, was "convex" character shape, unearthed one chariot ride, horse figurines 4, warrior figure 68. Put the "antlers" where the word may be the emperor worship where pre-war expedition or a triumphant return Guixie place. Pit-style figurines in order to narrow lane arrangement, said the command here is the heartland of the Qin.
After visiting the Qin terracotta, tour guides took us to see it who said that the discoverer of Terracotta Warriors and Horses - Yang fat old man. In the way to go, tour guides the way for us to add a bit Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the discovery, excavation, repair and open a simple process.
Guides to explain: the past here, just blocks of rocks piled up everywhere in Qiongshanpirang grassland in 1974 in March, Lintong County, Sillan villagers south of the village wells, the accidentally discovered the Qin terracotta warriors and horses, at the beginning the villagers They dared not timid to report, and later Yang fat old man with the horse Tuozhao relics unearthed in the sample to walk to the local cultural centers, reported the matter, thus giving rise to the central leadership attaches great importance to the State Cultural Relics Bureau of Shaanxi Province, the organization will be assigned Qin Emperor Mausoleum figurines archaeological team to survey and clean-up of its. In August 1975, the State Council decided to establish the Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. One of the excavation pit in the process, due to the construction again in April-May 1976 has stuck between the two, on the 3rd hole. October 1, 1979, coincides with the thirtieth anniversary of The People's Republic of China, Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, officially opened the external display. Pit excavation in 1989 on the 3rd to the audience after the opening. In March 1994, a formal excavation pit on the 2nd, the same year in October, on the 2nd hole of archaeological excavation site open to the audience. Covers an area of more than 20 hectares, sir Museum after nearly 20 years of development history, has now become China's largest museum of historical sites.
When we see the legendary old people, he was bow wiping glasses behind the wall hung a huge picture of Bill Clinton met with him, declined them the photo on the table in front of the table card. I watched less Jisi refined rural ambience of the old people can not help but sigh: When I first discovery of terracotta warriors and horses and won seven awards the money angle eight elderly, due to illiterate and signed with the thumbprint or a circular motion instead of the elderly, and now into the Terracotta Warrior Museum, an honorary curator, this is how easy ah! I do not know when he saw a constant stream of visitors to whether there is a extra sense of pride? !
Finally, we in the museum theater watching a 360-degree movie screen play. Here, people can feel immersive Terracotta Warriors during the production of the kind of scaled up, a waste of money waste of the tense atmosphere, but also can enjoy the ancient craftsman who fired pottery figurine of those workers when the process flow. When you see the fire's Concubine Xiang Yu Xianyang City, killing QIN Zong-room, my husband could not help but bitterly said: "This Xiang Yu, and without him, and now I do not know that the spectacular Terracotta Army many times!" Yes ah, but for greed and Xiang Yu revenge, the underground palace, it will let the people more directly feel the emperor at that time dominated the Quartet's ambitions and domains.
