Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors and Horses since the unearthed,His production process has been discussed for a long timeOne of the most discussed topics is whether the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang were burned by living people.
As a famous tyrant in history,In addition, these unearthed terracotta warriors and horses are of different shapes, it is almost impossible to find one that looks exactly the same, so many people associate these terracotta warriors with the burial of living people in ancient times.
So, how exactly are these terracotta warriors made, and are they fired with living people?
About why Qin Shi Huang made terracotta warriors,There have been many theories.
Some people say that Qin Shi Huang built the Terracotta ArmyIt is to rule the two worlds of yin and yang, so he ordered the construction of a group of figurines to be buried with him, so that he could rule the underworld.
There is also a theory that Qin Shi Huang once dreamed in his sleepThose he killed came to him for their lives。Frightened, Qin Shi Huang quickly woke up, and then he continued to sweat coldly.
After calming down,Qin Shi Huang thought about the question of what to expect after his death, Since he can't find the art of immortality, then one day he will die, and when he is alive, his army can protect himself, but after he dies, he faces the countless soulsWhat should I do?
So when he went to court the next day, Qin Shi Huang expressed his doubts. He said".IDuring his lifetime, he fought against the Six Kingdoms, and inevitably many innocent people diedEven if they complained before their deaths, they did not dare to be presumptuous because they had troopsBut when I get to the underworld, and those dead souls come to me for their lives, what should I do? ”
At this time, a minister had an idea and said: ".Since ancient times, many emperors have said that they are buried with each other, so the emperor can also choose a group of tiger and wolf masters to bury himself after a hundred years, so that they can't hurt you.
Qin Shi Huang felt that the minister's words were very reasonable, but it was too cruel to bury himself with a living person, and it could also damage his own wisdom. So he has been hesitant about this matter.
At this time, another minister said, . .It is indeed too cruel to be buried with a living person, but we can make the most elite troops 1 to 1 terracotta warriors according to their physiognomy characteristics, ** and chariots, etc., and then arrange them around the emperor's mausoleum.
When Qin Shi Huang heard this, this method can be used, and it can allow thousands of troops and horses to protect themselvesYou don't have to destroy your own wisdom yet, so began to gather skilled craftsmen across the country to start making terracotta warriors.
There is also a theory that Qin Shi Huang felt that he had unified ChinaThat's why you have to build thousands of terracotta warriorsto defend the safety of his imperial tomb, so that the undead of the six kingdoms in the underworld dare not approach. In this way, it will be possible to achieve both yin and yang.
However, when the terracotta warriors and horses were first excavated, they were said to have been fired by living people because their form was so realistic.
In 1974, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang were born in ShaanxiIt has caused a lot of repercussions in society.
When experts dig up the graves of the terracotta warriors,It was full of colorful figurines, but after only a dozen seconds, the color on the terracotta warriors began to fall off automatically, and then they all turned gray.
After expert research, it was found that these terracotta warriors and horses have some colored coatings on themThese pigments in the moment of contact with the air, an oxidation reaction took place, and then it fell off automatically.
Therefore, in order to protect the original state of these cultural relicsAfter consultation with the relevant departments, plan to develop only a part, and wait until the technology is mature to plan.
After these terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed, everyone found that each terracotta warrior has its own appearance characteristics, and even their movements are differentIt was found that no two terracotta warriors were exactly the same.
At this time, many people began to suspect that such a huge terracotta armyNo two are the sameWhat's going on here?
It was at this moment that someone proposed,Ancient emperors had the habit of using living people for burial after their deaths。And this bad habit was particularly popular in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, especially in the ancient tombs of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, where living people can basically be found to be buried togetherSome of the tombs are as high as 1,000 people.
This kind of burial method can be described as very cruelAnd Qin Shi Huang is a famous tyrant in historyIt is entirely possible to use living people for burial, and these terracotta warriors and horses have different shapes, maybe they are really poured with living people.
All of a sudden, the terracotta warriors inside the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang were poured with living peopleIt has aroused heated discussions among everyoneBut this is just a speculation and has no basis.
After the Qin Terracotta Warriors were unearthed,Experts began to study the process of making itSome people think that this is made with molds, because this huge terracotta army, in ancient times, if it was not made with moldsIt's hard to make so much by hand.
But this argument was quickly pushed downBecause if this is made with molds, then their facial expressions and movements should be exactly the same, but the thousands of figurines inside are all of different shapesTherefore, the theory of making with molds does not hold.
Just as everyone is arguing over this issue,Archaeologists found a broken terracotta warrior in the pitThere is a crack in the body of this terracotta army, and this is just enough to study the production of the terracotta army.
After archaeologists scanned this terracotta warrior with a machine, they found that it was actually hollow inside, and there was nothing to see, and there was no tissue or bone about the human bodyThe theory that the terracotta warriors were fired with living people was overturned.
Under the research of scientists, the specific production process of terracotta warriors and horses is slowly revealed. It turned out that the head and body of the terracotta warriors and horses were made separately, and the craftsmen would first fire the bodies of the terracotta warriorsThen the finished head is used to assemble it。Finally, a special paint is applied to it, so that a terracotta warrior of different shapes is fired.
Although the terracotta warriors and horses are not a good thing, he also let the rumors be quelledOtherwise, this saying may not be circulated among the people for a long time.
Qin Shi Huang's life can be said to have left us with many controversiesThere are many who say that he is the first tyrant of the ages, but there are also people who are defending it, believing that everything she does is for the present and for the future.
But in any case, we cannot deny his outstanding contributions, because his unification has laid the foundation for today's Chinese territory. Therefore,How can we judge all that he has to offer?
