With the development of human civilization, human sacrifice was gradually abolished and replaced by pottery figurines or wooden figurines. Sacrifice entrusted the living with a kind of respect and memory for the deceased, and treated the deceased as always. This is a precious historical material for future generations to study the history at that time. Qin Shihuang was the first emperor of China's first autocratic centralized state.

He destroyed six countries, unified the world and established a series of centralization of authority, which greatly promoted the historical process. His mausoleum took 39 years to build. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Qin Dynasty were built according to the comparison of real people, which is of great significance to the study of clothing, military system and military affairs in the Qin Dynasty.
In the Terracotta Warriors, some soldiers wore crooked buns, while others didn't. This is a phenomenon of national integration after national reunification.

The Qin Dynasty implemented the conscription system. According to the bamboo slips of Qin Tomb in Sleeping Tiger Land, men 17 years old can be enlisted at any time according to the needs of war, and they will not be exempted from service until they are 60 years old. In the Qin Dynasty, criminals or slaves were often used as soldiers, which was called "garrison". Qin law is harsh, and after the reunification of the country, there is no place to disobey it. So from this perspective, soldiers are all Qin people.
But why are the shapes different? The crooked bun is not the local costume of Qin State. The tribute map of the Qing dynasty records: "the natives knot buns on the right, and the Han people knot buns in the middle." Qin folkway is simple, not luxurious, and mostly follows the mainstream and combs in the middle. Some indigenous people in remote areas in the south have the custom of combing crooked buns. What is certain is that Miao people combed crooked buns in Tongzhi, Guizhou.

With the unification of Qin State and the passage of time, the custom of combing crooked bun was also introduced into Qin State. In other words, people in the comb-crooked bun area also served in the Qin army. What is more noteworthy is that wearing a crown instead of a crown in the terracotta warriors and horses is a sign that distinguishes soldiers from military attache. Does this mean that under the unification of the Qin dynasty, the people of the six countries who have destroyed the symbol of class division have also accepted it? How far has the unification of Qin gone? This is worthy of our continued thinking.
