What to expect at Terracotta Warriors & Atlar

Terrakotta Askerleri & Horses Museum covers an area of 16,300 metrekare, divided into four sections: No.1 Pit, Hayır. 2 Pit, Hayır. 3 Pit and Exhibition Hall respectively. The Pits were then named Pit 1, Pit 2, and Pit 3 by order of discovery.

Pit One
Pit 1 is the largest pit of the three pits. Pit 1 takes an oblong shape, measuring 230 metre uzunluğunda, 62 meters wide and 5 meters deep. The total area is 14, 260 metrekare, as large as two football fields. The terracotta warriors and horses in Pit 1 are arrayed in battle formation.It is assumed that there are more than 6, 000 terracotta warriors and horses in Pit 1, of which 1, 000 have been unearthed. In the long corridor to the east end of the pit stand three rows of terracotta warriors facing east in the battle robes, 70 in each row, totaling 210. Armed with bows and arrows, they constitute the vanguard. There is one row of warriors in the south, north and west of the corridor respectively, facing outward. They are probably the flanks and the rear guard. Holding crossbows and arrows and other long-distance shooting weapons, they took up the job of defending the whole army. The ten rammed partition walls divide Pit 1 into 11 latitudinal corridors where stand 38 columns of warriors facing east with horse-drawn chariots in the center. These warriors are probably the main body of the formation and represent the principal fighting force.

Pit Two
Pit 2 was found in 1976, şehir merkezine 20 meters to the northeast of Pit 1. The pit is L-shaped and measured 6, 000 metrekare. It consists of four different mixed military forces, including infantry, charioteer, cavalry and archers. It is estimated that there are over warriors and horses, and thousands of bronze weapons inside it. Dört dizilecek tamamen birbirine bağlı olarak tam bir savaş formasyonu oluşturur ve bağımsız hareket edecek şekilde ayrılabilir, saldırı, savunma ve hızlı müdahale yapabilen özelliklere. Çukurdaki dört diziden üçü 2 savaş arabası sürücüsü. savaş formasyonunun çoğunu arabalar aldı. Ahşap arabalar yaşla çürümüştür, ama şaftlar, ve tekerlekler kilde şeffaf translar bıraktı. Savaş arabalarının bronz parçaları sağlam kaldı. İlk olarak terrakota generali bulmak bir keşiftir, çukurda diz çöken okçu ve eyer atlı süvari savaşçısı. Kuzey tarafında iki eğimli giriş var, ve doğu ile batı taraflarının her iki ucunda dört giriş var.

Çukurlardaki bazı figürler 1 and 2 yangın hasarı gösteriyor, yanmış tavan kirişlerinin kalıntıları da bulundu. Ne zaman yakıldığı ve bunu kimin yaptığı tarih kitaplarında kaydedilmemiştir. Yıkımıyla ilgili akademik dünyada çeşitli görüşler vardır.

Çukur Üç
Yürüyün 25 Çukurun kuzeybatısından metreler uzaklıkta 1, P3'e ulaşacağız. P3, üç ana çukurun en küçüğüdür ve ilk ikisinden çok farklı olduğu bulunmuştur. U şeklindedir, toplam yaklaşık 520 metrekare.

Yalnızca Shu adı verilen bir tür silah Çukur'da keşfedilmiştir 3. Bu tür silahın bıçağı yoktur ve onur muhafızları tarafından kullanıldığına inanılmaktadır. A remaining deer-horn and animal bones were also unearthed in this pit. This is probably the place where sacrificial offerings and war prayer were practiced. Judging from the layout of Pit 3, most scholars believe that Pit 3 is the headquarters directing the Emperor’s underground army.

Bronze Chariots and Horses

Various articles from Qin Dynasty and the models of Bronze Chariot and Horses are displayed in the Exhibition Hall of Historical Relics of Emperor Qin’s Mausoleum next to Terracotta Warriors Pit 2.

In December 1980, two sets of large painted bronze chariots and horses were unearthed 20 meters west of the First Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum. They were labeled as Chariot No. 1 and No. 2 respectively by the order of discovery. Due to the fact that the wooden crate naturally decayed over time and the rammed soil that surrounded the pit caved in, the bronze chariots and horses had been broken into nearly 3,000 pieces when archaeologists discovered them. Fortunately, as this pit had neither been looted nor disturbed, their original positions remained intact, moreover, all parts of the chariots and horses were complete and in a condition that made them restorable. After eight years of careful and painstaking restoration, they have been restored to their original shape and now are displayed in the exhibition hall.

The two sets of bronze chariots and horses were intended to be used by the soul of the Emperor for his travels in the afterlife, so they are exact imitations of the actual ones of Emperor Qin Shihuang in half life-size. The two bronze chariots and horses represent the pinnacle of ancient Chinese metallurgical technology, and provide valuable materials and data for the research of the mechanism behind chariots of the Qin Dynasty. They are the largest, most complex and best preserved bronze wares discovered in the history of the Chinese archaeology, and have been praised as the “the top bronze works” of Ancient China.

The bronze chariots drawn by four horses, with a single shaft, were placed one before the other vertically.

Hayır. 1 Chariot is 2.25 metre uzunluğunda, 1.52 metre yüksekliğinde, with the total weight of 1,061 kilograms. It was equipped with crossbows, arrow heads and shields. There is a large umbrella providing shade from the sun. Its handle is flexible and rotatable to block the sun from different angles. The charioteer wore a hat. This shows that it was employed to protect the No. 2 Chariot behind.

Hayır. 2 Chariot is larger than the No.1 Chariot. Burası 3.17 metre uzunluğunda, 1.06 metre yüksekliğinde, with the total weight of 1,241 kilograms. The chariot was fitted with more than 1,500 pieces of silver and gold and other ornaments, and was probably used for the Emperor Qin Shihuang’s soul to go out on inspection. The chariot has three windows, one to the front, and one on either side in the compartment, and a door opens at the back. One may open and close the windows and the door. The roof is umbrella shaped, said to be symbolic of the round sky. There is a kneeling figure driving the No. 2 bronze vehicle.

How were the terracotta warriors & horses made?

The terracotta figures are life-sized, typically ranging from 175 cm to about 200 cm. They vary in height, uniform, and hairstyle in accordance with rank. Their faces appear to be different for each individual figure. It is presumed that each warrior was made according to the real valiant Qin army soldier. They were manufactured in workshops by government laborers and local craftsmen using local materials. Heads, arms, legs, and torsos were created separately and then assembled by luting the pieces together. After the figures are readily made, they were put into kilns to be baked. After then, the clay figures were carefully painted with colors. As the figures have been burnt and gone through a natural process of decay, we can’t see their original gorgeous colors. Ancak, most of the figures bear the traces of the original colors, and a few of them are still as bright as new.
