Reflextion on Terracotta Warriors ~Lixian~

From the terracotta warrior statues found in Xi An, China, I learn that they are actually the things left behind by Qin Shi Huang. This shows a lot about his tyrannical ways and the terracotta warrior statues were actually there to protect his tomb. A lot of people were hired to carve out these statues, only to be killed or disabled in the end as Qin Shi Huang did not want others to have a copy of his warriors. I can learn that people under his rule will suffer because of his demanding ways. However, I can also infer that the people at that time lived in a highly organized society because since Qin Shi Huang wanted so many organized rows of terracotta warriors to protect him when he passed on, the military during that period of time would be quite powerful and well-trained as well. Hence, the terracotta warriors are symbolic because it shows a lot about Qin Dynasty and how it was like under Qin Shi Huang's rule.
