Terracotta Warriors

123

Each of these ceramic warriors looks almost like a real person, down to their physique.

The ceramic warriors are in different poses: standing, kneeling, operating vehicles, and even watching their surroundings.

The ceramic warriors have very intricate facial expressions, as if they're trying to convey their emotions.

The Great Wall

123

It is estimated that over a million people, about ten times the number of workers for the pyramids in Egypt, worked on the Great Wall.

Different sections of the Great Wall differ in size depending on the terrain, and the materials were often collected locally.

The Great Wall constructed during the Qin dynasty was meant to protect against the Xiongnu to the north. It was roughly as long as the distance between the West Coast and East Coast of the United States.

Cuju

123

Cuju, a sport that was enjoyed by both nobles and civilians of ancient China, was created during the Warring States period.

Legend has it that Meng Tian, a famous Qin general, was also a Cuju enthusiast, and used it to train his soldiers.

Cuju matches from the Qin and Han dynasties looked similar to modern soccer matches. Victory was even judged in a similar fashion.

Funeral Culture

123

Two threatening stone beasts stand at the entrance of the tomb, as if waiting to attack intruders.

Back then, people believed that death meant moving to another world, so tombs were filled with treasures for the deceased to take with them.

It is said that tombs were full of traps and dangers, and many intruders never returned.

Qin Zhidao Highway

123

The world's earliest highways were built during the Qin Dynasty. From the capital, Xianyang, one could quickly reach any major city.

Horses were the main tool of transportation during the Qin Dynasty. Good horses could travel five hundred kilometers a day, and were worth just as much as luxury sports cars today.

The construction of highways facilitated ethnic, cultural, military, and economic exchange, all of which contributed to the lasting unification of the country.

Divine Dragon Spear

123

This unusually sharp spear glows faintly when swung.

This weapon was named after a Chinese assassin who dared to attempt the assassination of an emperor.

Legend has it that the first owner of the weapon was a ferocious female warrior.
