Sima Qian, the ancient Chinese historian, did not write directly about the Terracotta Army, as it was discovered in 1974 and he lived from 145 to 86 BCE, long before its creation. However, his work, "Records of the Grand Historian," provides valuable context about the Qin Dynasty, during which the Terracotta Army was constructed as part of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's elaborate burial complex. Sima Qian's accounts detail the emperor's unification of China and his quest for immortality, themes that resonate with the purpose of the Terracotta Army.
