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.
