Terracotta warriors and horses are originally colored?
Wu Xiaoli: This place was the first batch of Terracotta Warriors excavated in 1974. It was excavated by a farmer while digging a well, and then almost more than 6000 terracotta warriors and horses appeared here. Since 1970s, China has received many heads of state here. Up to now, 1 10 heads of state have visited the Terracotta Warriors here, but it has reached 65438. It was not until 1998 that President Clinton and his family visited China that they were allowed to get close contact with the Terracotta Warriors again. Today, we have coordinated the charter flight, so we can calm down and watch these terracotta warriors and horses up close.
Because ordinary people are not allowed in into the pit, there is only one working ladder, so it is dangerous.
Qin Shihuang was in power for 36 years, and it took 36 years to repair the mausoleum. There were 700,000 people repairing the mausoleum alone. In 2 1 1 BC, Qin Shihuang died, and the grand funeral was conceivable. According to calculations, Qin had a population of 20 million at that time, and 700,000 people accounted for about one-tenth of the country's young and middle-aged labor force.
It is still unknown how much treasure was buried in the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses provide rich materials for the study of military, culture and economy, and its excavation is regarded as one of the major discoveries in the archaeological history of the 20th century.
The largest Terracotta Warriors here are 1.8 meters, and I am 1.7 meters. I am behind the Terracotta Warriors, and people can't see me. The film crew of "A Thousand Years' Journey" went through a lot of hardships and got special approval. We finally reached the No.1 pit, which is very close to the Terracotta Warriors. We can see that there are nearly 6,000 Qin soldiers here, and we can see that they are facing the east. There are two ways. One is that Qin Shihuang heard from a feng shui master that there would be a rise of power in the East, so their troops were guarding the East. Another way of saying this is that people in the Qin Dynasty actually developed from the East, and only from Baoji, Gansu and Xianyang did they really flourish. So their ritual burial custom is to sit west and face east. Therefore, we can see that these terracotta warriors and horses wear less heavy equipment and generally wear light equipment. There is a saying that they fought bravely, so they rushed forward desperately. So we can see that no one wears a helmet until now, and there is still debate about the merits and demerits of Qin Shihuang. I believe this will always be a topic of discussion in places where China people live, but one thing is certain: he unified China.
In addition, we also found some place names behind the Terracotta Warriors. For example, this one is from Xianyang, which means Xianyang. At the same time, we found that besides Xianyang, there were craftsmen from Shandong and Zhejiang who built their terracotta warriors and horses here, which confirmed that Qin Shihuang did unify China at that time.
We can also see that the Terracotta Warriors have black hair and yellow skin.
Wu Yongqi, curator of the Terracotta Warriors Museum: black hair, black beard, black eyebrows and red hair band. The terracotta warriors and horses are all different in color. He wears whatever he likes, or whatever is given to him at home, because Qin's military uniforms are uniform now, but they are all prepared at home.
We are now in the second pit. Many archers have been unearthed here. I have a bow and arrow in my hand with some bronze rust on it, but we are surprised to find that the pottery figurines still have skin color. Originally, the color was similar to that of human beings. He is a remnant statue. According to textual research, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are actually not living earth figures, but residual figures. However, after the Terracotta Warriors were completed, they experienced two large-scale destruction. Once, it was damaged by the flood, which made its color fade, but the ones we are digging now began to fade slowly because of the age, but after digging this pit, we began to protect it.
In fact, the whole Qin Mausoleum is an underground kingdom with an area of more than 50 square kilometers. There may be more than 600 squares now, and the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang, which are very familiar to everyone, are the largest one excavated. But in the past two years, we have dug a bigger burial pit in the urban area, and now the stone armor behind me is excavated in a burial pit bigger than the No.1 pit. As we said just now, some unearthed cultural relics we excavated are less than 1% of the world's mausoleum areas. I believe there will be more amazing discoveries in the future. The curator has assured us that we will build the A Qin Mausoleum Museum in the future, so that the world can enjoy all the unearthed cultural relics.
(autumn rain record: I have a grievance against foreign explorers who have quietly shipped cultural relics from China. I really want to stop their motorcade in the desert a few years ago and argue a few words. Some young critics laughed and said, can you argue with others? Be smart and let it pass quickly. I am deeply saddened by the cynicism of future generations. ...
..... My answer is: Son, you should know that Yuanmingyuan has just been razed to the ground, you should know that China scholars broke through Oracle Bone Inscriptions by themselves, and you should know that even illiterate China farmers are qualified to argue with foreign explorers. )
Liang Dong: I just carefully looked at the manners, hairstyles and costumes of those terracotta warriors and horses, including their movements. They are really different and lifelike, so I have been thinking about a friend's words in my mind: all art is about human art.
