The gathering place of Terracotta Warriors and hitching posts (Xianyang)

The museum is located in the Confucian Temple, and the building itself is a group of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is quite rare to see such a large-scale public museum developed from ancient buildings for free in non-Beijing areas. Because there are not many well-preserved ancient buildings, the slightly better ones are all fenced off and charged. This city-level museum built in the ancient buildings also highlights the temperament and heritage of Xianyang, a famous historical and cultural city . Due to space limitations, the richness of the exhibits is somewhat lacking, and it is expected to be a bit shabby due to its proximity to Xi'an. The most famous exhibit here should be the Han Dynasty Terracotta Warriors. Many people come here specifically for this. The exhibits here are the Western Han Dynasty three thousand painted terracotta warriors unearthed from the Han Changling mausoleum in Yangjiawan, Xianyang in 1965. As the burial objects of Liu Bang, these terracotta warriors are large in scale and numerous, but they are not as tall as the Qin Terracotta Warriors and their shapes are not so realistic. They can't compete with the Qin Terracotta Warriors in terms of sensory. They are mostly warriors, wearing armor, inheriting the momentum of the Qin Terracotta Warriors, and focusing more on the inner world and spiritual demeanor of the characters. In addition to Yangjiawan, there are three other Han Dynasty Terracotta Warrior groups in the country, located in Xianyang, Xuzhou and Jinan, those interested can go and see . After seeing the Terracotta Warriors, the hitching posts scattered around the courtyard are also a major feature of the Xianyang Museum. They have different postures, simple and natural, and a variety of styles. They can be mainly divided into four types according to their shapes: carving the four-square spirit beasts implies blessings from all directions; carving lions implies everything goes well (this is the most); carving human figures implies being superior; carving monkeys implies being promoted immediately . Finally, I would like to mention a cultural relic that surprised me. You can see pictures 19 and 20 below. They are the bronze hinges and door handles of the Qin State during the Warring States Period. Such explosive craftsmanship existed two thousand years ago and was widely used in architecture. It is breathtaking, far ahead, far ahead .
