About Xian Terracotta Warriors
The Terracotta Army was buried with the first Emperor of Qin (Qin Shi
Huangdi) in 210-209 BC (his reign over Qin was from 247 BC to 221 BC
and over unified China from 221 BC to his death). Their purpose was to
help rule another empire with Shi Huangdi in the afterlife.
Consequently, they are also sometimes referred to as "Qin's Armies".
Construction of this mausoleum began in 246 BC and is believed to have
taken 700,000 workers and craftsmen 38 years to complete. Qin Shi
Huangdi was interred inside the tomb complex upon his death in 210 BC.
According to the Grand Historian Sima Qian, the First Emperor was
buried alongside great amounts of treasure and objects of
craftsmanship, as well as a scale replica of the universe complete
with gemmed ceilings representing the cosmos, and flowing mercury
representing the great earthly bodies of water. Pearls were also
placed on the ceilings in the tomb to represent the stars, planets,
etc. Recent scientific work at the site has shown high levels of
mercury in the soil of Mount Lishan, tentatively indicating an
accurate description of the site contents by Sima Qian.
