Museum of Han terracotta warriors Guide

Museum of Han terracotta warriors is the must-see travel site. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Han Dynasty was the only terracotta army of the Han Dynasty found in China. It is another significant discovery after the Xian Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Dynasty. One year later, a museum was built at the original place of the discovery. In November 1996 it was listed as Key Cultural Relics Units under the State Protection by the State Council. In 2005 the museum was extended. Now it is welcoming visitors from around the world with the unique

charm of the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD). Compared with the Xian Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Dynasty, the Han tomb figures are smaller but the development of their features is based on that in the Qin Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, craftsmen paid careful attention to detail. They focused on the soldiers' inner world and their spirit. As tomb figures of the king, most of them show some sorrowful and respectful expressions. According to historical records, citizens between 18 and 55 years old in the Han Dynasty had to join the army for two years. Consequently you can see both young and old soldiers among the pottery figures.

There are six pits altogether in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Han Dynasty: three infantry pits, one pottery-guard pit, one cavalry pit and one chariot pit. So far only two infantry pits and one pottery-guard pit have been excavated fully. The terracotta warriors and horses are basically in good condition and they are all arranged in battle formation of the Chu Kingdom in the early Western Han Dynasty, with soldiers as well as officers visible in the infantry.
