The Terracotta Army are statues and therefore were never real. However, the Images were based on a real army of soldiers commanded by Qin Shihuang. So the terracotta warriors never fought. They were made to accompany the emperor Qin Shihuang to the next life as the Chinese believed that they would be his army in that next life.
The terracotta army wasnt exactly "owned" but what they were, were actually sonte built statues of men that belonged and were made to guard the spirit and tomb of the first emperor " shi huang di." he was a ruthless leader who was known for burying alive 460 scholars. So the terracotta army were then "owned" by the first emperor to guard his death. he believed that the army would protect him from impurities of death. :3
around 300 because there were so many terracotta warriors to uncover but eventually they only found about 700
A fact about the terracotta army is that 1.All of the clay soldiers represent one of the soldiers that was in the army. So it basically represents the soldiers that was in the army.
No, these terracotta warriors are models of the emperor's elite troop so they are all male, no "mulan" among them.
All the special items didn't satisfy Qin, so he built a big terracotta army that protected his tomb for eternity, like his flesh-and-blood troops that defended him for his lifetime.
In ancient China, there was strict standard for the rights of every social class, among which emperors must be the top privileged person. The soldiers whom the Terracotta Army was modelled after were the guards of Qin Shihuang's palace. Thus, the scale of the Terracotta Army was truly reflect the reality. In addition, it was not so big when compared with the total amount of Qin's army - above 600,000.
The First Emperor of China, Shi Huangdi, believed that he would need his army in the afterlife.

Terracotta is not a stone. This Latina and Italian word means "baked earth" and is a type of earthenware. It is clay-based unglazed or glazed ceramic. The terracotta army was commissioned by Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China.It is a form of funerary art. The army was buried with the emperor when he died to protect him in his afterlife. He died in 210 BC. It is estimated that it has more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses. It took a great many years to make so many statues.
The Terracotta Army was found at the foot of the mountain Lishan (骊山) in Lintong County (临潼县, today's Lintong Distract of Xi'an), 1.5 km to the east of Qin Shihuang's Tomb (秦始皇陵). Around the findspot, there was stony and deserted land, where local people seldom went to, so the Terracotta Army was found by sheer coincidence.
not that people know of, as women were not allowed to fight, so it was really unfair
