How did Qin Shi Huang make the terracotta warriors?

Qin Shi Huang was the first monarch in the history of our Chinese land to complete the unification of the world, and also the first monarch to begin to call the emperor.

The ancients believed in the world after death, and of course Qin Shi Huang was also convinced of this, believing that the world after death was the same as the world before death, so he began to gather tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen from a long time ago to make terracotta warriors and horses for him, which is what he considered to be the "underworld" of the afterlife.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is currently located in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were accidentally dug when people were digging wells at that time, and in this regard, a vast and majestic Terracotta Warriors and Horses site appeared in our field of vision.

The terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang were of different shapes, and each soldier had a different facial expression, and it is said that these skilled craftsmen were portrayed according to the expressions of real people at the time.

Today, the research work of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses is still going on in Xi'an, and this Terracotta Warriors and Horses, known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World", is becoming another city card of Xi'an.

Don't you think that every terracotta warrior is different?

That's because he himself uses living people as the base.

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang are made by the method of pottery firing.

Most of the terracotta warriors and horses are made by the method of pottery smelting and firing, first use the pottery mold to make the first fetus, and then cover a layer of fine mud for processing, depiction and color, some are burned first and then connected, and some are first connected and then burned. The heat is uniform, the color is simple, and the hardness is very high. In each process, there is a different division of labor, and there is a set of strict work system.

The original terracotta warriors and horses have bright and harmonious paintings, and the existing terracotta figurines found in the excavation process still retain bright colors when they are just unearthed, but after being unearthed, due to the oxidation of oxygen, the color disappears instantly in less than ten seconds, and turns into white ash. All that can be seen now are the remnants of the paint.

Craftsmanship of the Terracotta Army:

The terracotta warriors and terracotta figurines made of large ones are generally put into the kiln after drying, and the roasting temperature is about 1000. After the figurines are fired out of the kiln, they are painted one by one to finally complete the production of the terracotta figurines. As far as the terracotta figurines as a whole are concerned, the manufacturing method is a combination of plastic molds and mainly plastics.

The figurines were fired on the spot near the terracotta pit, and the soil used was the local loess, which was mixed with quartz sand.

Based on the information provided to us by the broken terracotta figurines, it can be inferred that the heads and hands of the terracotta figurines were made of molds and then carved in detail. The production of figurines is mostly made by the mold clamping method, which is to divide the figurines into roughly equal front and back halves.

They are made separately with single-piece molds, and then the two single-mold combinations are bonded together to form the large size of the head. Most of the clamping lines are located behind the ears, which are generally relatively neat and have no traces of staggered structure.

OneThe terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Dynasty are mainly burned out of clay, and he has a main body to support the terracotta warriors and horses, which is stuffed with chaff skin, and the terracotta warriors and horses are inspected and its production processThere is a certain degree of scientificity, from shaping and drying to drying can be said to be done in one go, and the wisdom of the Qin Dynasty can also be seen through this.

2. Based on the information provided by these broken terracotta figurines, it can be inferred that the head and hands of the terracotta figurines were made of a mold and then finely carved. TaroMost of the production of the head adopts the method of clamping, that is, the taro is divided into two halves that are roughly equal before and after, and a single-piece mold is used, and then the two single-piece molds are combined together to form a large head.

3. Most of the mold lines are located behind the ears, which are generally neat and have no traces of staggered structure. The neck attached to the hoe is empty. After taro is made into the first child, the mud attaches to the ears, hair, hair, canopy, and facial features.

The focus of the head sculpting is facial features, beard, and hair. The five senses are carefully carved and modified on the basis of modeling, expressing the different personalities and psychological characteristics of the characters.

Fourth, Tao Shu's beard and hairstyle are also important aspects of character expression. Engraving techniques are also diverse. Despite the fact that the hoe is molded together, with meticulous engraving, the meaning of the mold is already weak, and it is difficult to find two identical faces.

In addition, there are many different face shapes in the mold used to make manju, which makes the image of the pottery more colorful.

Therefore, the terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Dynasty were made by the wisdom of contemporary people, although the craftsmanship at that time was not as developed as it is now, but the people of the Qin Dynasty could make such a vivid terracotta army, which is also very powerful.

The terracotta warriors and horses are all made of clay, and now it seems that they are supported by something inside, and then carved after leaving the kiln.

This is a pattern designed by the craft designers of the Qin Dynasty, and then they will do it in large quantities according to this look.

I remember seeing him say before that he used that clay to make the shape of a human being, and then fired it, just like burning Tang Sancai.

He must have been made of ceramic, otherwise he wouldn't be so strong and beautiful.

I don't know exactly what is going on, but I personally think it's an important part of the culture.

I read a report before, and it seems that it was done by the people at that time, because they were going to the battlefield to fight, so they made a self.

We all know that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang It is the first batch of national key cultural relics to protect the unit, and it is also the first batch of China's world heritage sites, located in the terracotta warriors and horses pit thousands of kilometers east of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. Those terracotta warriors and horses are Qin Shi Huang's funeral goods, in ancient times, people would be martyred slaves, is the slave owner's appendage during his lifetime, so after the death of the slave owner, the slave should also be used as a funeral object for the slave owner to be buried, and then the terracotta warriors and horses are made of some terracotta and horse shaped burial goods, so, do you know why Qin Shi Huang made so many terracotta warriors and horses for his burial? Next, I will give you a brief introduction.

First of all, Qin Shi Huang wanted to have an army to protect his imperial tomb after he died, but if he wanted a living army to bury him, it would definitely be impossible, so he used a terracotta army to bury himself, thinking that he would be able to have someone to protect him after he died, and another point is that he was a hero who stood up to the sky and the earth during his lifetime, so he was able to lead the army to win various wars during his lifetime, and unify the six countries. After his death, he also wanted to command thousands of troops to fight against the enemy in his life, and to show his great achievements in dominating the world, and also symbolize his status and power.

Secondly, Qin Shi Huang used terracotta warriors and horses instead of living people to be martyred, which can also reflect the dynasty at that time, and the use of living people to bury is not the mainstream of that era, and if he uses living people to be martyred, it will also cause future generations to be dissatisfied with him, so he also reflects his imperial heart, which can prove that he is an emperor who loves the country and the people, although we know that he did not do particularly well in many aspects, it can be said that the lives of the people are miserable, but he is unwilling to use his own army to be martyred, It can be said that he is not an extremely mediocre emperor either.

Finally, Qin Shi Huang, he built the Terracotta Army, one of the purposes of which was also to be able to rule the Yin and Yang worlds, because the terracotta warriors and horses he made were made according to the appearance of the more elite Qin army soldiers, and it can also be said that they were intended to be used to deter the undead of the six kingdoms in the underworld.

The above content is a personal opinion only, please understand if there is any error.

Guarding the Imperial Tomb. Demonstrating the strength of the army of the Zhao Dynasty of Qinshan, Qin Shi Huang hoped to continue to lead the army after his death, and the ancient emperors believed in the divine right of the monarch and believed that they would go to another world after death. It is also hoped that Huai Peng can continue to lead the army.

These terracotta warriors are all used to accompany the funeral, and Qin Shi Huang is a very brave and warlike person, so he regretted that he ordered so many terracotta warriors and horses to be made to accompany the funeral.

In order to protect Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang himself would be robbed by someone after he died, and he was more afraid, so he made a lot of terracotta warriors and horses to guard him.

Records. According to the "Historical Records", Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne at the age of 13, and the prime minister Li Si began to preside over the planning and design of the construction of the cemetery according to the custom, and the general Zhang Han supervised the construction, and Qin Shi Huang expanded the scale of construction after his adulthood, and it was not completed by his son Qin II hastily until two years after his death, and the state costume was built for 39 years.
