The Terracotta Army Museum is located 1.5 kilometers east of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. In 1974, local peasants found several broken kiln-fired clay terracotta warriors while drilling wells. They told the local government about the terracotta warriors and horses. After excavation by archaeologists, these warriors who had been sleeping for thousands of years were shown to the world, and they are called "the eighth wonder of the world".

The terracotta warriors and horses are statues in the burial pit that accompanied Qin Shihuang. From the three pits of terracotta warriors and horses that have been excavated at present, the terracotta warriors and horses are arranged in the shape of the character “品”, all made of clay. The terracotta warriors include infantry, cavalry and chariot soldiers. Each terracotta warrior has the same size and proportion of a real person. Their facial expressions, clothes, and hair styles are different. Their facial expressions are rich and their postures are diverse. Each statue's clothing is brightly colored, and according to statistics, there are more than a dozen different colors, including the unique color from China, called “Han Purple”. Unfortunately, because of the low level of excavation technology, the color of the Qin figurines faded to the earth color immediately after they were unearthed. It was not until 2004 that the painted Qin figurines could be excavated. According to statistics, the total number of the terracotta warriors and horses is more than 8,000 and there are more than 50 chariots and more than 400,000 weapons — this large scale amazes the entire world.

Emperor Qin Shihuang, a famous monarch, was the first emperor to establish a unified multi-ethnic feudal empire in Chinese history. According to legend, when he was 13 years old, he began to send people to build the mausoleum for after his death. About 246 BC, 700,000 people were mobilized for the project and spent 39 years building it. At present, most scholars believe that the large pits where the Qin figurines are placed are the accompanying burial pits of the mausoleum of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, made by excellent potters from the court and local areas at that time. These beautifully crafted terracotta warriors and horses are arranged in the army formation, which is majestic and elegant, showing the style of his army. At present, limited by the conditions, the Qin figurines have not been fully excavated. It is believed that after the maturity of excavation technology, more miracles will be displayed in front of the world.

In 1987, the Terracotta Army of the Qin Dynasty were approved by the UNESCO to be included in the World Heritage List. The Terracotta Army of the Qin Dynasty shows the glorious civilization of ancient China to the world, and has been praised as one of the world's top ten ancient tombs.
