preface
Life cannot blossom brilliantly from lies. - Heine
China is a country with a long history of cultural heritage, and now, we can say that a large part of China's history is buried in the ground, and in the impression of Chinese, in fact, because of this special thought, this can also allow us to excavate many precious treasures left to us by the ancients in modern times.
In ancient times, there was a very unique funeral idea that "all sentient beings must die, and death must return to the earth", and when they were buried, the ancients thought that they were going to live in another world. People with a certain social status will put rich funerary goods in their tombs in order to live better in another world, and these funerary goods have been saved from the destruction of war and chaos, and have been preserved until now, becoming precious cultural relics of our country.
Nowadays, in order to better explore the culture left over from ancient times, our country has gradually begun to pay attention to archaeology. Our country has also found a lot of precious historical relics and precious tombs through archaeology, and for some excavated historical relics, money has long been unable to measure their value.
They are the cultural treasures of our Chinese nation's history, in the last century through archaeology we also found the ancient tomb that shocked the world, it is the Mausoleum of The First Emperor of Qin, but after excavating the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, some people say that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin are not dead, but alive, and have been resurrected three times in total.
One: Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of The First Emperor of Qin
The news quickly gained the attention of the local archaeological department, and professionals quickly arrived at the site to explore the area around the well. This exploration shocked the world, near the well, experts excavated a lot of common fragments, so they speculated that there may be more clay figurines in this area, and soon began rescue excavations, and finally the number of ceramic figurines excavated reached more than 8,000. The owner of the terracotta figurines did not have to think at all, he was China's Qin Shi Huang, and subsequently, the news that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum was alive shocked the world.
Two: mysterious clay figurines
After the discovery of the Terracotta Warriors of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, this news did not make the experts excited for a long time, all the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum were very exquisite, and even their expressions and facial features were not the same, which inevitably made the experts welcome the real production process of these pottery figurines. In China, ancient people always thought that they were going to live in another world after death, so many different funeral systems were derived, including some cruel burial systems, which were popular in many dynasties, including the Qin Dynasty.
"Mozi Jie Funeral" records that "the son of heaven killed martyrs, hundreds of many, dozens of widows", many experts speculated whether these clay figurines were really poured by living people, after all, it was difficult to make the clay figurines so exquisitely with the technology of the time, and each one was unique, according to the status of Qin Shi Huang, he was entirely likely to do so. Later, experts conducted a meticulous study of the figurines, and finally unveiled the mystery of the clay figurines themselves, these figurines are not really poured by living people, in the interior of the figurines, all hollow.
This discovery made experts breathe a sigh of relief, but also had to admire the ancient craftsmanship of making ceramic figurines, it is difficult to imagine that in ancient times, there was no modern mechanization equipment, how the ceramic figurines were made so exquisitely, and the most important thing is that each ceramic figurine is different.
Three: The mystery of the resurrection of the clay figurines
Although the Terracotta Warriors have been successfully excavated, the topic related to the Terracotta Warriors has just begun to rise. There was a legend circulated in that year, when the terracotta warriors were excavated, there was a resurrection of the terracotta warriors, and the first case of the resurrection of the terracotta warriors occurred in the year of excavation of the terracotta warriors, and in the process of excavation, the experts did not find the location of the terracotta warriors at one time, but experienced many excavations to finally determine the location.
In the process of determining the location, a villager found the expert and began to ask the expert if he had dug these things in the ground, when the expert found nothing, and for the next two days, the villager was asking the expert, which made the expert a little impatient. On the third day, the villager appeared again, and the expert obviously did not want to pay attention to him, but the villager told the expert that he had found the specific location of the terracotta army, and then the expert brigade excavated at the location that the villager said, and later actually dug it.
The experts especially wanted to thank the villager, but when they looked back, they found that the villager had long disappeared without a trace. The experts began to search for the villager in the nearby village, but the people from the surrounding villages, but the people in the surrounding villages said that there was no such person at all, and then the legend of the resurrection of the terracotta warriors was spread.
The second legend takes place in the late 1990s, when experts were digging up other terracotta warriors, and suddenly they found a lot of modern human corpses, which made the experts very curious, why there are modern people in the tunnels of the terracotta warriors, and one of them still has the head of the terracotta figurine in his hand. The most important modern people died only a week ago, but the cause of death is completely unknown, and later it is said that the terracotta warriors were resurrected and killed for self-defense.
Four: Foreign friends pretend to be terracotta warriors
The legend of the resurrection of the terracotta warriors of the third time is actually a bit funny, because this time the terracotta warriors are really resurrected. This happened in 2006, and the protagonist is an international student from Germany. This international student loves Chinese culture, especially likes the terracotta warriors, so he bought a set of clothing very similar to the terracotta warriors to wear on the body, taking advantage of the staff to relax their vigilance, when they did not pay attention to the time slipped into the tunnel as the terracotta warriors, and later some tourists found that the eyes of the terracotta warriors would move, but also frightened the tourists, and finally the police took this international student away.
These legends are only circulating in the folk, and his authenticity remains to be verified. But I believe that the Terracotta Warriors will certainly not be resurrected, they are just a bunch of lifeless clay figurines. As young people in the new era, we should believe in science even more.
