Dialogue Five   Visit Qin  Dynasty  Figurines
  T: Now I can further understand that you can't be reckoned to have been in China without seeing the Qin Dynasty figurines.
G: Here we are in the Terra-cotta Warrior and Horse Museum.
T: It's really a big museum, isn't it?
G: Yes, it is. This museum, housing terra-cotta warriors and horses, is the largest one of this kind in China today. Let's go to have a close look at an ancient Chinese array of troops.
T: It’s a mighty army. They must have been standing guard by the tomb of the Emperor Qin Shihuang for over several thousand years.
G: That's true. Over 2000 years.
T: Look, all these terra-cotta warriors and horses face the same direction. Why so?
G: They all face the east because the State of Qin in the Warring States period was situated in the west and fought eastward against other states.
T: Are the terra-cotta warriors and horses arranged the way they were when unearthed?
G: Yes, they are. Now let's go to the terra-cotta warrior vault and have a good look.
