Shaanxi Tour - Chin Shih Huang Terracotta Warriors and Horses

Ceramics for so rows of people I have no feelings. But for archaeologists who are working to aroused my interest, are said archaeologists were local farmers discovered the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, then it gave up the farm work, generations of people have joined to this terracotta figures excavation work. Since the Qin terracotta suffered massive destruction of the Han dynasty, leaving only these broken figurines, originally allocated for the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the weapons have been gone. These archaeologists is to use palm-size hair brush, sweep the soil to 1.1 points will be buried in the soil excavated pottery fragments, and then like a jigsaw puzzle of countless pieces of debris as it assembled into a piece of terracotta warriors and horses. In fact, the complete rare terracotta warriors and horses, and now we see the throngs of a one stop most of the terracotta warriors and horses are part of the original pieces with cement mix, found that 70% -80% of the area is cement, for this was so that visitors can feel the shape of the original terracotta warriors and horses, since in those relatively early complete independence of the exhibition. What we are most excited about is that when we went to see the excavation of a half-color figurines, terracotta itself is colored, in unearthed within an hour after the color will be oxidized into the impression we are now in the blue terracotta warriors and horses. When we visited in the study coincided with the Sino-German experts, a chemical spray, figurines unearthed in the process of spraying to protect the figurines are not the color of the oxygen in the air oxidation. Although there are chemical agent protection, but did not prevent the oxidation of pigment, but its slow oxidation, because six months later at the central station 10 to see the color protection measures on the use of a program, or that respect we see color figurines, color, significantly higher than the time that we visited had to be bleak. Terracotta is now the excavation rate has slowed down more than a decade ago, for is better able to protect those who are still buried in the soil of the color figurines.
