The eighth wonder of the world: Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Emperor Qin Shi Huang in Xi’an

#中国 Mainland Attractions The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin are located in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit 1.5 kilometers east of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin in Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. They are known as the eighth wonder of the world and one of the first Chinese World Heritage Sites. They are a golden business card of the glorious civilization of ancient China. . Terracotta Warriors and Horses are a category of ancient tomb sculptures. In ancient times, human sacrifice was practiced. Slaves were the accessories of the slave owner during his lifetime. After the death of the slave owner, the slaves were buried with the slave owner as sacrificial objects. The terracotta warriors and horses are burial objects in the shape of soldiers and horses (chariots, horses, soldiers). The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Dynasty are a typical example of burials in which warriors were buried on behalf of people, and they are also the pinnacle of burials in which warriors were buried on behalf of people. The reason why the Qin Terracotta Warriors have reached such a high level of scale and realism is inseparable from the will of Qin Shihuang, the first feudal emperor in history. Friends who like Chinese culture and history must not miss this world-famous wonder of the world.
