The art history of these terracotta warriors and horses is very valuable. The creation of terracotta warriors and horses is based on real life, and its artistic techniques are delicate and vivid. The costumes and expressions of the Terracotta Warriors are different. There are many kinds of hairstyles, different gestures and different facial expressions. From their costumes, expressions and gestures, we can tell whether they are officers or soldiers, infantry or cavalry. There are veterans with beards who have fought many battles and young people who have just stepped into the battlefield. Ordinary figurines, as high as 1.96 meters, stand upright and concentrate on thinking, showing a firm and powerful appearance. The figure of a soldier, with his head slightly raised and his eyes looking straight ahead, looks high-spirited and childish. The warrior in armor holds a long hand in his right hand and presses the car with his left hand, which shows that he is a garrison warrior.

Historical and cultural values:
According to historical records, Ying Zheng, the first Qin Emperor, began to build a cemetery when he ascended the throne at the age of 13. Planning and design shall be presided over by Prime Minister Reese, and general Zhang Han shall supervise the construction. It took 38 years to build, and the project was huge and magnificent, which created a precedent for the luxurious burial of feudal rulers in previous dynasties. At that time, the total population of the Qin Dynasty was about 20 million, and the labor for building tombs reached 720,000. The spiritual household soil is taken from Sanliu village, 2000 meters south of the cemetery, to the county quarry, with multi-level loess cliffs, 5-25 meters high. A large number of stones used in the construction of the cemetery were taken from Zhongshan and Jun 'e Mountain, north of Weihe River, and all of them were transported to Linchong by manpower, so the project was very difficult. It is conceivable that the vastness of the project, the dead bodies under Zhongshan Mountain and June Mountain, shows the cruelty of the whole project.
Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses amazed the audience with their huge scale, magnificent scenes and superb scientific and artistic level. With the Qin Terracotta Warriors Museum, the ancient city Xi soon became one of the most important tourist cities in China. Tourists from home and abroad have come here. Most foreign heads of state and other distinguished guests visiting our country should put visiting the Terracotta Warriors on their agenda.
The historical and cultural value of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses is unique. It opened a window to observe the era when it came into being, and greatly changed people's views on that era.
Qin terracotta warriors and horses shocked the world and first publicized their outstanding artistic achievements. Thousands of large-scale ceramic sculptures are arranged in a space of nearly 20,000 square meters as a whole, and their majestic momentum makes almost all visitors with different skin colors have a strong tremor from the bottom of their hearts, which reflects the artist's grasp of the grand artistic theme, the pursuit of overall charm and the outstanding ability of artistic creation. There are thousands of terracotta warriors and horses in Qin dynasty, and the characterization that comes to the fore shows the author's artistic accomplishment and achievements from the aspects of body grasp, verve treatment, color application and detail description. The realistic style of the works not only left us a superb model of ancient art, but also left many precious historical records about that era. Serious and unified military themes can be handled so vividly and have such a shocking artistic charm that people have to look at the special laws in the development of ancient art in China from a new perspective and re-explore and frame the development history of ancient plastic arts in China.
The excavation of terracotta warriors and horses pits in Qin dynasty also greatly rewrote people's understanding of the scientific and technological level of Qin dynasty, and vividly demonstrated the development level of productive forces in Qin dynasty with a large number of empirical materials. As far as the history of science and technology is concerned, many materials found in the terracotta warriors and horses pit shocked the world. For example, 1, the cultural relics unearthed from the pit of Qin figurines show that the metallurgy and metalworking technology in Qin Dynasty were much higher than our previous estimates, among which the widely used chrome-plated bronze rust prevention technology was the most representative example, which was a very mature technology at that time, and most of the weapons unearthed from Qin figurines were coated with this protective layer. This stunt seems to have been lost from the Han Dynasty. In sharp contrast, more than 2000 years later, in 1937, modern chromium plating technology was born in Germany and went down in history as a patent invention. 2. The weapons unearthed from the pit of Qin figurines clearly prove that the concept of "the same thing is small, the same thing is big, and the same thing is short" in Qin bamboo slips is a standardized concept, and Qin people have made amazing achievements in standardization practice. This standardization is not only the representative of the development of management art in Qin dynasty, but also the symbol of the scientific and technological level in Qin dynasty. The bronze crossbow machine made by Qin people is precise and standardized, and the instruments with the same specifications are completely interchangeable. Many special processing technologies, such as the generation of decorative patterns on bronze beryllium ridges and the drilling and engraving technology of tiny metal holes, are also amazing, and some technologies are still mysterious. Because the ancient rulers tended to attach importance to politics, ethics, personnel and technology, the records of science and technology in history books were often short and incomplete, and the scientific and technological materials in Qin Dynasty were rare. Because of this, the historical and cultural value of Qin figurine archaeology is even more important.
