I have long heard of the majesty and grandeur of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, but it is still difficult to appreciate this amazing magnificence without visiting this land in person. As soon as we entered the gate, we hurried to the first pit. It is said that the number of Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Pit 1 is the largest, and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang were excavated here.
As soon as I stepped into the first pit, I was shocked: in front of me was a rectangular pit one kilometer long and half a kilometer wide, surrounded by fences on all sides. On the other side of the fence is a two-meter wide path for tourists to visit. I looked up, and it looked like a huge vegetable greenhouse. The roof seems to be woven with steel bars and covered with scarlet steel plates. Nearly ten similar buildings use iron frames to divide the roof into 10 blocks, each block has a rectangular hole through which sunlight can penetrate, and the warm sunlight obliquely shines in, illuminating the terracotta warriors and horses at the bottom of the pit.
The terracotta warriors and horses deserve to be the eighth wonder of the world. There are three rows of mighty "soldiers" neatly arranged in front of me. There are about twenty or thirty soldiers in each row. They all face forward, as if to make way for the troops behind them. Behind it is a mound trench arranged vertically, and several soldiers stand between them, also facing forward. Right in front of them, on the right, stands a sign that says "drilling location". This is where the first terracotta warriors and horses were excavated.
We walked slowly along the path and enjoyed 1000 terracotta warriors and horses. Some terracotta warriors and horses have lost their heads, leaving only one body and some shoulders. The worst thing is that several terracotta warriors and horses on the right have become disabled. Although these terracotta warriors and horses are not in good condition. Most of the terracotta warriors and horses here are well preserved and neatly arranged, just like a real royal army, marching like an enemy.
We walked along the path, and my calf was a little sore. Behind the pit 1, several horses stood forward under the guidance of a broken groom. These horses have smooth fur and hold their heads high. They are all excellent horses. In front of these horses, there are two beautiful and gorgeous carriages pulled by four horses, and there seem to be some patterns on the ceiling. You can imagine how beautiful this carriage was when it was first built. Just as I was addicted to these two carriages, we had reached the entrance of the No.2 pit. The second pit is much smaller and the light is very dark. Most of them are leaders, and most of the generals are placed here. We didn't stay here long and went straight to the third pit.
The structure of the third pit is very complicated, but there are few terracotta warriors and horses. According to the tour guide, most of the terracotta warriors and horses here have not been excavated, and the place covered with plastic sheets in the distance is the terracotta warriors and horses that have been discovered but not excavated. I followed her finger and saw a horse half buried in the soil, with only its head exposed.
We read the introduction of Terracotta Warriors, visited small shops, bought some commemorative miniature Terracotta Warriors, and then walked out of the gate of the Terracotta Warriors Museum.
Looking back at this antique door, I am deeply touched. How many hardworking and intelligent people have been nurtured by 5000 years of ancient civilization! These terracotta warriors and horses are not only works of art, but also the crystallization of human wisdom and civilization, symbolizing the splendid culture of our ancient country. Looking at these terracotta warriors and horses models, I am really proud that I am from China.
