Introduction to Han Dynasty Terracotta Warriors: The Han Dynasty warriors unearthed from Han Yangling Tomb are very eye-catching. They are only one-third the size of a human being, about 60 centimeters tall, naked and without arms. According to research, these pottery figurines were all dressed in various beautiful costumes when they were first completed. The arms were made of wood and were inserted into the round holes on the shoulders of the pottery figurines so that the wooden arms could rotate flexibly. However, after thousands of years of wind and frost, the clothes and wooden arms have deteriorated. They had all decayed, so only their naked and mutilated bodies were left. Some of the terracotta warriors were women. Most of them had pretty faces and well-proportioned figures, but there were also some with protruding cheekbones and strange looks. They might have been soldiers of foreign nationalities at that time. Compared with the solemnity and fierceness of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, the Yangling Han Terracotta Warriors appear peaceful and calm, which reflects the peaceful social atmosphere in the "Government of Wen and Jing".
