    Because these experts expressed their opinions and did not reach a consensus in the end, they would argue endlessly, and the archaeological experts had their own ideas about this "green-faced maid". This unearthed green terracotta warriors and horses is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one of these terracotta warriors, the other terracotta warriors and horses found at that time were unearthed are pink and white and faces, although the body shape and clothes are not the same, but the color is almost the same, but this green face figurines are very unusual. When the experts saw this, they began to study it in depth, but they had different opinions.

    Clause.

    First, it was the craftsmen who used the wrong pigments to make the face of this terracotta warrior turn green after being oxidized. As we all know, copper is generally dark red, the same red on the surface of other terracotta warriors, but after oxidation, it will turn into trivalent green ionic copper, which is the color of the face of this green-faced figurine.

    Clause.

    Second, this was deliberately painted green, in order to intimidate the enemy. According to experts, it is more likely that the craftsmen deliberately painted the faces of the terracotta warriors green. Because when Qin Shi Huang repaired these terracotta warriors, he requisitioned many craftsmen and refused to let them go home.

    Therefore, some craftsmen hated Qin Shi Huang very much, hating his cruelty. But they were not able to resist the soldiers who were watching over their work at the time, so they had to do something to these terracotta warriors.

    The craftsmen could only use these to take revenge on Qin Shi Huang, which may be the origin of this particular terracotta army. Because in this way, Qin Shi Huang's original plan could be changed, and they could vent their dissatisfaction with Qin Shi Huang's tough measures. At the same time, there were many captives from other countries who were captured by Qin Shi Huang to repair these terracotta warriors and horses.

    So almost all of these craftsmen were people who had been oppressed by Qin Shi Huang, so it is not surprising that they would do such a thing.

    I think it has something to do with the symbolism of ethnic minorities, where different colors represent different ethnic minorities. It is also possible that the identity of the figurine is different.

    This "green-faced figurine" shows that it has not been subjected to much oxidation, which also shows from the side that in fact, the terracotta warriors and horses were colored when they were built, and those earth-colored ones were just faded in color.

    The Terracotta Warriors and Horses, as a relatively famous collection in the history of our country, has a grand scale, it shocked the world, and is known as the eighth largest wonder in the world. The terracotta warriors and horses represent the wisdom of the working people in ancient China, and the pride of our nation. There is such a face in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, which makes experts very surprised, and they can't make any explanation, and not everyone can see it, and they have only seen this mysterious face four times so far.

    At that time, Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and established the first centralized state, and there are many greatness of Qin Shi Huang in history. Of course, Qin Shi Huang is also a person with a lot of negative behaviors, he burns books and pits Confucianism, and even wants to cultivate immortals and seek medicine, and wants to live forever Qin Shi Huang. But he didn't get the elixir as he wished, and Qin Shi Huang at this time wanted to build his mausoleum magnificently.

    He wanted to put a large number of soldiers and figurines in the mausoleum, which is the terracotta warriors and horses we see today.

    Nowadays, the terracotta warriors and horses can be visited, as long as people buy tickets, people can visit such a great building, but people don't know that the terracotta warriors and horses are actually colored, they are not seen like this today, the body is gray. Because since the shirt was sold to the earth, with the passage of time, the terracotta warriors and horses exposed to the air began to shed their color, and it became what it is today. In fact, the terracotta warriors and horses are colored, and the colors are very bright, more than a dozen colors.

    In the face of the colorless terracotta warriors, people are full of praise, if you see the colored terracotta warriors, you will be even more shocked. When the terracotta warriors and horses were just unearthed, his clothes, battle robes, armor, and even his face were colored and colorful, and he still looked very similar to the real person. But after a few minutes, the color began to fall off quickly, turning into a gray appearance, and the terracotta warriors and horses we visit today are all colorless like this.

    But it can still make people admire, the craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty, the glory and prosperity that the country of the Qin Dynasty once had.

    The unearthed terracotta warriors and horses are made in proportion to real people, and naturally they are also distinguished according to the types of troops, and it is natural that there are terracotta warriors and horses of different types of troops. Among so many terracotta warriors, archaeologists have found different terracotta warriors. Among the kneeling figurines in Pit 2, there was a different face, this face turned out to be green or rough, he had hair and beard, and his eyes were black, and the rest of his face was green.

    This discovery shocked people, and some people guessed that it was a prank by craftsmen as why this face was different.

    But in that feudal Qin Dynasty, the law was so strict that no one dared to play a prank in the funeral goods of Qin Shi Huang at will. Some scholars believe that it is not a servant in the army, but a person who was used to drive away evil spirits and sacrifice in ancient times. Some scholars believe that this is an ethnic minority person, and the conjecture is varied to show their identity with a green face.

    A mysterious green-faced kneeling figurine, why among the many terracotta warriors, only it is unique, although there is no only standard explanation so far, but this green-faced terracotta warrior has become the most precious one of the terracotta warriors, so far it has only been displayed four times, let alone abroad.

    After the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses were unearthed, the world saw a magnificent landscape, and there was a very unique existence among these Terracotta Warriors, the face of this Terracotta Army was actually green, as if the face was painted. It is precisely because of this difference that it has become an unsolved mystery.

    The terracotta's face is colored, with black pupils and white eyes, which are very similar to the current portrait carvings, and the most surprising thing is that the face is green. The faces of the other terracotta warriors are all the same, and they are very ordinary.

    After the terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed, people from all walks of life and experts began to join the discussion, but no one gave a definite answer or reasonable explanation.

    Some people think that this green terracotta warrior is likely to be a wrong version, generally speaking, the terracotta warriors and horses are made according to the real person one-to-one, if this terracotta warrior is a wrong version, isn't it a joke of the craftsman. On the other hand, under the Qin system, it was impossible for a craftsman to take the risk of making a wrong version.

    Some people believe that this green-faced terracotta warrior may be a servant in the army of the Qin Dynasty, but in fact it is the sorcerer in charge of sacrifice in the army. The superstition of the ancient people was that when they sent troops to fight, they had to carry out the so-called ritual ceremony, and the characteristics of the people were that they were relatively tall, and they sacrificed through their way to pray for the army to win a hundred battles and stay away from the plague.

    Some people even suggested that the green terracotta warriors and horses are very similar to the oil paint used by the special forces now, which can play a camouflage role. Why are the terracotta warriors and horses with special colors special, everything is the guess of later generations, and if you really guess what the skin is, I'm afraid no one can explain it clearly.

    The terracotta warriors and horses will be exhibited abroad every year, but this green-faced terracotta warriors and horses have never been abroad, and even the exhibition in China is very rare, which shows the importance attached to it, and I hope that the mystery of the green face can be solved one day in the future.

    Among the terracotta warriors, there is a very special terracotta army, that is, the terracotta army with a green face. In the case where all terracotta faces are red, only one terracotta has a green face. So, why is the face of this terracotta warrior green, after several years of research and exploration, several reasons have been put forward by experts.

    The first possibility is that the craftsmen of the time used the wrong pigment to coat the face of the terracotta warrior with copper pigment that easily oxidizes to green. We all know that copper is generally dark red, the same as the red on the faces of other terracotta warriors, but after undergoing an oxidation reaction, it will become positive trivalent green ionic copper, which is the color of bronze.

    There is also a speculation that the terracotta warriors painted their faces green to scare away the enemy. More likely, according to experts, it was a prank by the craftsmen, who deliberately painted the terracotta's faces green. Because when Qin Shi Huang repaired the Terracotta Army, he requisitioned many craftsmen and did not let them go home in order to achieve their own immortality.

    Therefore, some craftsmen began to hate Qin Shi Huang for wanting to destroy his immortality plan, unable to resist the soldiers of the time, and unable to stop their own labor.

    Craftsmen can only secretly stumble on Qin Shi Huang in these small places, which is why there are some special terracotta warriors and horses in the terracotta army. He used this method to sabotage his plans as a way to vent his dissatisfaction with Qin Shi Huang's heavy-handed methods。At the same time, many of the craftsmen were not from the Qin state, but captives of other countries defeated by the Qin state, and they also wanted to spoil Qin Shi Huang's plan, so they secretly painted the faces of the terracotta warriors and horses green.
