Terracotta Army.

The Terracotta Army, also known as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Emperor of Qin, is located in the Terracotta Army Pit, 1.5 kilometers east of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. This discovery is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" and has been approved by UNESCO for inclusion in the "World Heritage List". The Terracotta Army is part of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin. Its production began in 221 BC and was completed in 39 years, demonstrating the strong military power of the Qin Dynasty and the superb craftsmanship. These pottery figurines include chariots, war horses, and soldiers, which are used to replace the human sacrifice system, reflecting the respect of ancient craftsmen for individual differences and exquisite skills. Each terracotta warrior has a unique face and posture, showing the diversity of ancient armies and the social life of the Qin Dynasty.
