The Terracotta Army, discovered in Xi'an, China, consists of over 8,000 life-sized figures, including soldiers, horses, and chariots. However, only a portion of these warriors have been excavated and are on display. Visitors can typically see around 2,000 of the warriors in the main excavation pit, while others remain buried and are yet to be uncovered. The full scale of the army continues to be revealed through ongoing archaeological efforts.

Among the many who are working on the excavation and preservation of the Terracotta Warriors, one archaeologist must be mentioned. He is Yuan Zhongyi (袁仲一) whose study on those warriors began with their discovery and often regarded as "the father of the Terracotta Warriors". In May 1988, he was appointed as the curator of the Museum of the Terracotta Warriors. After retired, he was awarded the honorary curator address by the museum for his great contribution.
