Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. The Terracotta Army refers to the thousands of life-size clay models of soldiers, horses, and chariots which were deposited around the grand mausoleum of Shi Huangdi, first emperor of China and founder of the Qin dynasty, located near Lishan in Shaanxi Province, central China.
Detailed explanation-2: -The relics around Qin Shi Huangdi’s tomb suggest that the ancient Chinese believed in an afterlife with many of the same trappings as their lived experience: The emperor would still need extensive military protection, along with animals and entertainers (clay musicians and acrobats were also discovered) after he died.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Terracotta Army’s history dates back to over 2, 200 years ago. Its construction began in 246 BC. The Terracotta Army was designed to guard Qin Shi Huang’s tomb. Over 720, 000 laborers worked for approximately 40 years to complete it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Why Are They Called “Terracotta Warriors"? Because they are warrior-like statues made of terracotta (a kind of clay). The figures were placed in precise military formation according to rank and duty.
