the individualized figures of the terra cotta army pit 1-7 at emperor qin shi huang di's funerary site represent the value ancient chinese placed on (3 points)
Answers
The Terra cotta army was ordered to be made in 246 BC by Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang, when he ascended the throne at the age of 13.
About 8,000 life-like terra cotta statues were found in different pits, which is supposed to be the army to protect emperor Qin Shi Huang in his after-life. It shows the Chinese belief of life after death.
Not only are there statues of soldiers, but also of artisans, acrobats, musicians and concubines which shows their importance in Chinese society.
Of the statues discovered so far, no two figures are alike. It shows the importance the Chinese placed on the unique human nature.
Immortality.
Qin Shihuang (259-210 B.C.E.) fought and conquered much in his life but the driving purpose was greater than all that.
He wanted to conquer death and in order to get over immortality, he built a tomb for himself.
It was a vast underground city that was guarded by a life-size terracotta army that included infantrymen, warriors, chariots, horses and all types of weaponry and attendant armour.
The underground terracotta army is undoubtedly one of the most mysterious and remarkable discoveries from the ancient world.
