Abstract (EN)
During the "Warring States Period", (B.C. 475- 221) a time of chaos in Chinese history; The Emrerior Qin Shihuangdi who was born B.C. 259, took the throne when he was 12.5 and united 6 states; proclaimed the title of "The Great Emperior " and gave his own name to the country. Emperior Qin, killed many intellectuals, workers and peasants whom he thought he had rebelled, and burned all his books of literature and philosophy; it has applied its legal order and its basic values equally, but in a cruel and tyrannical way until B.C. 210. Qin, who is known to have many enemies and is very afraid of dying, decided to establish an army to protect him after his death, and for this purpose he ordered to build clay (terracotta) soldiers army. He also initiated the construction of a tomb for himself. Qin's catafalk, which is considered to have been swimming in a mercury lake in the tomb, has not yet been reached. It is understood from the analysis of the ears (seals) of the terracotta soldiers that the responsibility of the production of the soldiers in the land army to protect Qin was given to 8 separate lineages. Excavations began in 1975, so far, about 8000 terracotta soldiers were unearthed on the side of this magnificent army, equipment, materials and weapons, horses and carts were removed from the pits. In the terracotta army where thousands of soldiers with different faces exhibited different views and positions; it is impossible to not admire the array of terracotta and painted earth soldiers who are ready to fight in their pits with their magnificent details, their clothes, armor and equipment.
