秦始皇与他的地下大军

How many times we've been visited to the exhibition of The First Emperor: China's Entombed Warriors? Five times! The great exhibition has attracted a great number of viewers. In the third century BC, China was a patchwork of warring states. From this the ruler of the kingdom of Qin, Ying Zheng, emerged to unify all of the states into one bigger nation. His reign as Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China, did not last long but had a huge impact, politically and culturally. once an obscure figure in Chinese history, since the discovery of his tomb in the 1970s he has become famous worldwide. Artifacts from the tomb of the emperor are often a huge drawcard at galleries and museums, particularly the army of terracotta warriors that were buried with him.
