Terracotta Warriors and Horses can be said to have no market value, but in recent years, there is a saying that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were burned by living people, and even in some film and television dramas, this statement was directly put on the screen. The most influential event was 1974 news of the resurrection of Terracotta Warriors.
What the hell is this? In 74, a farmer in Shaanxi accidentally found the Terracotta Warriors in the soil while digging a well. At that time, they didn't know that these things were terracotta warriors and horses, but they were shocked to see such a lifelike head in the soil. Some people say that these terracotta warriors are alive. Later, with word of mouth, things became like this. Many people think that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses have been resurrected, but in fact, when they were first discovered, they really looked like living people, because their workmanship was very excellent.
Of course, when we go to see the Terracotta Warriors, we naturally can't see any difference. Speaking of which, it's a pity. Terracotta warriors and horses are not as dusty as we see now. In fact, the terracotta warriors and horses are originally colored. When it was first unearthed, the colors on it were still preserved, and with the matching of colors, the whole terracotta warriors and horses became lifelike. But the problem is that the closed space was broken after excavation, and a large amount of air flowed in, which made the terracotta warriors and horses quickly oxidized and lost their original color. With our existing technology, it is impossible to completely analyze the components of these pigments, let alone reduce them.
So people see the terracotta warriors and horses like this. It's not just the Terracotta Warriors. Many ancient cultural relics have various colors. Under the long-term closed space of the tomb, they can ensure a stable environment and there will be no major changes. But when this environment is destroyed, the color will naturally change.
Therefore, unless our current archaeology is a tomb that has been destroyed or exposed, other complete tombs are as intact as possible. Although there is no color, the Terracotta Warriors have become a miracle, but how it was made is also puzzling.
In ancient times, it was not uncommon to use terracotta warriors and horses as funerary objects. In the past, many tombs were stipulated in this way, but only the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor had so many special terracotta warriors and horses, which were never seen in other periods. This is what makes it unique. In addition, the styles of these terracotta warriors and horses are different from those unearthed in other periods. How did Qin people make them when the production technology was not so developed at that time?
Obviously, these terracotta warriors and horses can't be burned by the living, because the terracotta warriors and horses themselves are the products of martyrdom instead of the living. The ancients regarded death as important as before.
Like these emperors, they all wanted to keep their troops underground, so that they could rule the world all the time, but what was most lacking in ancient times was manpower. It is also a great loss for the country that so many troops are buried with him. Therefore, replacing these people with terracotta warriors and horses can avoid wasting manpower. In addition, there are some terracotta warriors and horses in the pit now, because of various factors, there is no head. As can be seen from the above, these terracotta warriors and horses are all hollow structures, indicating that they were not burned by people.
Besides, no matter when, there is no technology to make pottery figurines with people, and no one will do such a cruel thing. Although the technological development of the Qin Dynasty was not so advanced, it also made great breakthroughs. It is not difficult for Qin people to burn clay figurines with clay. In any case, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are a very great existence, and its value is immeasurable. But now the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are only part of Qin Shihuang's huge mausoleum. What is really valuable is the mausoleum of the first emperor. If the underground palace of the mausoleum is opened one day, it is estimated that there will be more treasures.
