The Terracotta Warriors

The terracotta army was mainly constructed to help Qin Shi Huang after death Qin was called the first emperor because he was the first emperor after the unification of China. There are 3 different places the terracotta army 1 of the pits contains upto 1000 clay figures reaching 2 meters high and another only holding 68. The terracotta army was built around 221bc and went on until 206bc. The site were the terracotta army was built was underground and the terracotta armies were lined up in rows like an army in real life would be like. The pits were built in Lintong District of Xi'an were it is only 20 miles from the burial place of Qin Shi Huang. One of the main feature of the site is that all the rows of soliders are lined up like they would be in an army and are showed from lowest rank to highest rank. Another feature is that all soldiers are differently presented out of the thousands of soldiers no 2 are alike. Also all of the soliders are built with different weapons and look and pose as if there about to battle. One thing historians have learned is that people back then were very obedient and respectful to their leaders and also that the Chinese have shown great care and respect towards the arts. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_is_the_Terracotta_Army Author: Not Given, Publishing Date: Not Given, Publishing place: Not Given The history of China Author: Lucia Garvin, Publishing Date: 1998, Publishing Place: Perth, Australia.
