Introduction of the Terracotta Warriors
First of all, let's introduce the Terracotta Warriors.
The "Terracotta Warriors Glowing Face" assembled by three led lights, this Terracotta Warriors facial lighting interactive equipment, said to be built with 3D modeling technology. Under the guidance of the staff, citizens and tourists can display their own faces on the Terracotta Warriors' faces for free after scanning them in the Terracotta Warriors' internal operation room.
At first, when I saw that Xi'an's "Terracotta Warriors" were about to be removed, I thought that some people were using the Terracotta Warriors as a banner for some other bullshit development projects, and thought that they should be removed. However, after carefully reading the relevant reports, I realized that this was originally an ornamental project developed by the local community in order to enliven the festive atmosphere or attract more tourists to the area. Because it is backed by the Xi'an An Bell Tower, according to the tourists concerned, they found it hilarious after seeing this on the Internet, so they came here specifically to throw their faces on the Terracotta Warriors and take photos with the Bell Tower. There are even foreign friends commissioned to come here to take pictures and videotape tourists. But did not expect, this just appeared a day "face terracotta warriors" may be removed. According to local media reports, cranes and other engineering vehicles are on standby next to the Terracotta Warriors.
In the afternoon of Jan. 29, I went to the Xi'an An Bell Tower and saw that the display of the "Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Disguise" was not lit up, and a red fence had been erected around it. The sign "Welcome to the North Forest District" was moved to the flower bed next to it. There were about a dozen people waiting to experience the terracotta warriors, many of whom had come for the experience. According to a staff member, they received an official notice that the device would be removed late that night. The exact reason was not known.
It is reported that since the landing of the Terracotta Warriors, many people have come to "play". Because the device is located in Xi'an, a landmark building next to the bell tower, and the shape is unique, people have mixed feelings about it. Some people say it is "strange shape", others say it is "interesting", "the Spring Festival to Xi'an Ann see".
Some netizens are "envious while spitting", which is mocking rather than accusing. "It's hard to put it on, but it's unloaded in just one day. It's a waste of resources." Netizen "Woodenhead" said the practice of "changing everything from time to time" is a bit puzzling.
Li Quansheng, the designer of the terracotta warriors, said he designed them because they represent Chinese culture and are a cultural symbol of Xi'an. If the terracotta warriors are only placed in museums, then they can only be used as exhibits and are not vivid enough. The "Terracotta Warriors and Horses" will allow participants to experience the charm of culture in a relaxed atmosphere through some artistic activation.
"This terracotta warrior is a light interactive installation. In fact, it is a public **** artwork. Participants can enhance it with some interest by interacting with the terracotta warriors." Li Quansheng said that although the project was launched not long ago, the response of visitors was quite good and everyone had a good time, judging from the effect on the site.
Xi'an An Beilin District said on the 29th that it had to remove the Terracotta Warriors from the vicinity of the Bell Tower due to online controversy over them. The news came out, "Xi'an An Terracotta Warriors were removed" topic on social media platforms has been read hundreds of millions, some netizens said they could not understand, feel disappointed. 30 morning, the "face of the Terracotta Warriors" were all removed.
At present, no department has indicated where the "face-change terracotta warriors" device has been removed.
