What are the tombs of Qin Shihuang? The terracotta warriors and horses of gray soil, it turned out to be this color
Ying Zheng, in Chinese history, is a person who is known to everyone. When he was alive, he ruled the world, and after his death he also had his own empire - the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. What is inside Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum? The gray terracotta warriors and horses turned out to be this color!
The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, a posthumous palace built by Qin Shihuang for himself, the construction process lasted 39 years. In the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, there are terracotta warriors and horses pit known as the "eighth wonder of the world", as well as countless rare treasures, including the "Nine Dings" cast by Xia Yu, namely Yu Ding, Ji Ding, Yan Ding, Qing Ding, Xu Ding, Yang Ding, Jing Ding, Yong Ding, Liang Ding. In order to prevent being disturbed by future generations, Qin Shihuang ordered people to build a very sophisticated system for his tomb, so we can't enter the interior of the tomb now, and no one knows how many secrets Qin Shihuang hides.
The terracotta warriors and horses pits in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang have attracted much attention since the beginning of the world. Today, the terracotta warriors and horses that people see are all earthy gray and look lifeless, but you know what? In fact, the terracotta warriors and horses not only have different expressions, but they were originally colored. The terracotta warriors and horses a thousand years ago had various colors such as vermilion, sky blue, pink and purple, but because of the invasion of time, these colors have long disappeared. Even if those colorful figurines are well preserved, after they are unearthed, the color on their body will disappear quickly after being oxidized in the air. It is difficult for modern people to see colorful terracotta warriors and horses.
Speaking of the Terracotta Warriors, we have to talk about the changes in the system of "burial customs" in Chinese history. In the Yin and Shang Dynasties, China adopted the system of human sacrifice. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the society underwent changes, and the "burial of figurines" replaced "human sacrifice". The peak performance of figurines replacing people's burial is a great miracle in human history. There are still secrets in Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, and I don't know when it will be unraveled.
