Dialogue Five Visit Qin Dynasty Figurines
	Guide: This is the First Chinese Emperor's Mausoleum. Tourist: It's gigantic! Just look at those terra-cotta statues of men and horses! They look as if they were alive. G: These statues are all warriors with their horses, buried with the emperor, whom they were supposed to protect forever. T: There must be at least hundreds of them. I really marvel at the beautiful artistic design and exquisite casting skills. G: This is the Museum of Terra-cotta Warriors you've been longing to visit. T: Oh, I've never seen anything like it before. It's huge. G: Vault No. l is a huge underground chamber containing six thousand terra-cotta soldiers and their horses and chariots. T: It's fascinating to see how ancient Chinese troops were arrayed. G: If you take a closer look, you'll find that each warrior has a different facial expression and manner. T: These terra-cotta warriors are so vivid and true to life. It's amazing that sculpture could have attained such high artistic level at that time. G: You are quite right. Some people call them “the eighth wonder of the world”.
