Kneeling Shooting Terracotta Warriors
The kneeling shooting terracotta warrior is dressed in a battle robe and armor, with a bun tied on the left side of their head. Their feet are aligned with the square mouth and their head is raised with pointed shoes. Their left leg is crouched and bent, their right knee is on the ground, and their upper body is slightly turned to the left. Their hands are raised and lowered on the right side of their body in a bow holding posture, showing a solo practice movement of holding a bow. In the sculpture art of kneeling and shooting terracotta warriors, one thing that is very valuable is that their shoe soles and meticulously crafted stitches reflect an extremely strict realistic spirit, allowing future viewers to feel a strong sense of life from the Qin Dynasty warriors. Among all the Terra Cotta Warriors unearthed, the kneeling shooting Terracotta Warriors are the only Terra Cotta Warriors that were extremely complete when they were found.
Terra Cotta Warriors
On March 29, 1974, farmers dug a well about 1.5 kilometers east of the the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in Lishan Mountain and found the Terra Cotta Warriors. Lishan is an area filled with underground springs and waterways. For centuries, there have been occasional reports of pottery figurines and fragments from Qin tombs - roof tiles, bricks, and large blocks of bricks and stones. This discovery prompted Chinese archaeologists, including Zhao Kangmin, to investigate and reveal the largest group of pottery figurines in history. Afterwards, a museum complex was built in the area, with the largest pit surrounded by a roofed structure.
