SETIAP satu patung tak sama "gesture & facial" expression mereka...

The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses are the most significant archeological excavations of the 20th century.

Work is ongoing at this site,
which is around 1.5 kilometers east of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, Lintong County, Shaanxi province.

It is a sight not to be missed by any visitor to China.

Upon ascending the throne at the age of 13 (in 246 BC),
Qin Shi Huang, later the first Emperor of all China,
had begun to work for his mausoleum.

It took 11 years to finish.
It is speculated that many buried treasures and sacrificial objects had accompanied the emperor in his after life.

A group of peasants uncovered some pottery while digging for a well nearby the royal tomb in 1974.
It caught the attention of archeologists immediately.

They came to Xian in droves to study and to extend the digs.
They had established beyond doubt that these artifacts were associated with the Qin Dynasty (211-206 BC).

The State Council authorized to build a museum on site in 1975.
When completed, people from far and near came to visit.

Xian and the Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses have become landmarks on all travelers' itinerary

Life size terracotta figures of warriors and horses arranged in battle formations are the star features at the museum.
They are replicas of what the imperial guard should look like in those days of pomp and vigor.

The museum covers an area of 16,300 square meters, divided into three sections:
No. 1 Pit, No. 2 Pit, and No. 3 Pit respectively.

They were tagged in the order of their discoveries.
No. 1 Pit is the largest, first opened to the public on China's National Day, 1979.
There are columns of soldiers at the front, followed by war chariots at the back

Set of figures in Pit No. 1 includes:

Large body of troops from the left wing marshalled in battle order.



Terra Cotta Pit No. 1 is oblong:
230 meters east to west, and 62 meters north to south.

At a depth of five meters,
it is cavern-like and constructed from earth and wood.

Five slopping entrances reach down to it from the east and west.
Ten partitioning walls separate the underground army into different columns.

The walls are reinforced by stout beams,
which are covered by reeds and earth.
The floor is paved with black bricks.

There are more than 6,000 terracotta warriors and horses in Pit No. 1,
marshaled into battle line formation.

Three columns facing out on the east act as vanguard.
Each squad is 70 strong, making it 210 troopers altogether.

They flank out left and right on the south and the north.
The rear guard is on the west.
They are armed with crossbows.

Behind the vanguard
marched eleven columns of regulars,
38 rows deep, interspersed with war chariots.
You could distinguish their ranks
from their uniforms and the type of arms they are carrying.

If you are a reader of the Chinese classic Bing-fa (The Art of War)
written by Sun Tzu (personal name Sun Wu),
you would appreciate their battle orders as they march into war.

A small door at the northwest corner opens into Pit No. 3.

Set of figures in Pit No. 2 includes:

Four mobile combat units ready to attack independently or en masse.

The Terra Cotta Pit No. 2 is 20 meters due east of Pit No. 1.

It is 6,000 square meters subdivided into L-Shaped foursquare sections,
where archeologists unearthed 1,000 warriors, 500 horses, and 89 wooden chariots.

The horses are both for pulling chariots and for carrying riders.
It reflects a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere

First Section:
First group, 334 archers, is lined up in eight clusters.
They are armed with crossbows.
Some 160, clad in heavy protective armor,
are in the front line kneeling position,
and others stand behind to shoot over their heads.

Second Section:
Second group, 64 chariots, is also in eight clusters.
Each chariot is officered by an archer,
supported by a soldier on either side,
and reinforced by another infantryman in the flank.
It is an improvement on chariot tactics.

Third Section:
At the center of Pit No. 2,
the third section has 19 war chariots and around 100 warriors.

They are three clusters: the right, the left, and the rear.
Each has chariots up at front.
Messengers and archers hurry about on their business


Fourth Section:
The fourth section is due north.
There are three clusters, consisting of six chariots, 124 vaulting horses and men.

Each chariot carries two: the charioteer and his scout.
The cavalryman looks ferocious, and holds a bow in his hand.
The wooden chariots have rotten away with age,
but they leave clear unmistakable marks on the floor.

The four sections may each engage the enemy singly or as a combined
