Terracotta Army

i can't tell you an accurate number because even historians can not say how many there were, but I can give you the range: the population of Qin dynasty was 20million+, and Qin was a military state, which means all men and slaves could be drafted; during Warring States, when Qinshihuang was trying to conquering other states, these states usually had half million+ soldiers, so Qinshihuang could have no more than one million soldiers; some people say Shihuangdi had have 3 million soldiers but the number declined after he died. There were approximately 300,000 soldiers were used to watch the border of North, yes , the great wall

One reason is the Terracotta Army located to the east of the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and its purpose is to guard the emperor. Thus, the emperor as the chief commander of this troop, his position is in the rear, with all soldiers back to him. Another reason is to prevent threats come from enemies, six kingdoms in the east. Though their troops destroyed, their land captured, there were still counter-forces remained to overthrow the newly established regime. That's what the emperor didn't want to see after his death.

The Terracotta Army here is referred to as the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang. It was built in the Qin Dynasty prior to the Han Dynasty. Han Dynasty also had funeral figures with its own feature, besides military style, living style flourished at that time. Overall, Han's terracotta figures were various in style, but smaller in scale compared with Qin's.

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

They go to see them in the pit in which they were originally placed. The pit is now covered by a large shed like building, it is very impressive and gives a good view of the warriors.

I'm pretty sure they all look different because the artisans of Ancient day china modeled all the Terra cotta warriors after the army in that time.... hope i could help :)

In his later years, Qin Shi Huang became obsessed with becoming immortal. To this end, he congested mercury pills made for him by his court scientists. He was killed after taking too many of them.

Yes, it is generally legal to take pictures of the Terracotta Warriors at the archaeological site in Xi'an, China. However, specific rules may vary, and visitors are often advised to respect designated areas where photography might be restricted. It's best to check for any local regulations or guidelines upon arrival to ensure compliance.

Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of a unified China, had several sons, the most notable being Fusu and Huhai. Fusu, the eldest, was favored for his intelligence and military skills, while Huhai, the younger son, was eventually named crown prince. After Qin Shihuang's death in 210 BCE, Huhai ascended to the throne as the second emperor but faced challenges, leading to his eventual downfall. The internal strife and power struggles among his brothers contributed to the collapse of the Qin dynasty shortly after his reign began.

The idea of a "Terracotta Army curse" is more myth than reality. Some believe that those who disturb the site may face misfortune, but there is no historical evidence to support the existence of a curse. The Terracotta Army, discovered in 1974 near Xi'an, China, consists of thousands of life-sized statues meant to accompany Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife. Any claims of a curse are often sensationalized and lack a basis in the actual archaeological findings.

The emperor of China typically organized a large army by implementing a conscription system, where able-bodied men were drafted into military service. Additionally, the emperor often relied on local militias and regional warlords to bolster the central forces. To maintain morale and loyalty, he provided incentives such as land grants and rewards for service. Effective communication and a strong administrative structure also played crucial roles in mobilizing and coordinating these vast military resources.
