Terracotta Army - A collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang.
Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum and the Terracotta Army was inducted to the World Heritage List in 1987.
Many country’s leaders have visited, and it was exhibited all over the world.
The eighth wonder of the world, the Terracotta Army is a brilliant ancient Chinese civilization representation.
In my work, I conducted a great amount of social and archaeological pre-research and it turns out that many people have mistaken the original color of the terracotta warriors as colorless. But actually in addition to a variety of colors, the face and clothes of them can also reflect the history of Qin dynasty, a very powerful dynasty.
Through the research and analysis of the Terracotta Army, I found that the original color came from the ore, which produced a
rich color through harmonization. However, some colors are composite, such as Chinese purple, Chinese blue. How can Qin
people to master this mineral synthesis technology remains an unsolved mystery.
