The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers (士兵). The, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.
Lost in Time
写雨的句子The soldiers in Xi’an’s terracotta muum are today light brown, but they weren’t always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the prent day. After being expod (暴露) to air during digging, the coating under the paint began to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking away with it important pieces of history.
New Technology
Now new technology is starting to show the army’s true colors. Archeologists (考古学家) have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of the still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chine and German rearchers have developed a chemical liquid (液体) to help save the soldiers’ colors. After finding a soldier or another art piece, archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.
