秦兵馬俑位於西安驪山北麓，被譽為世界第八奇蹟。

兵馬俑的塑造，是以現實生活為基礎而創作，所有陶俑的裝束和神態均各有不同之處，如立射俑、騎兵鞍馬俑、將軍俑、軍吏俑和跪射俑等。

只要細心觀察，便會發現沒有兩件秦俑是完全相同的。
秦俑的高度、形體與「真」人一樣，而且千人各面，喜怒哀樂、瞼形眉目、形體裝束乃至造形各不相同。
專家甚至能分別出那些士兵是來自關中，那些是來自西南，那些是來自草原呢！

陶俑陶馬在製作時都是色彩斑斕的，但很可惜，秦俑經項羽大火焚燒，又歷二千多年的地下水侵蝕，加上開拓後被氧化，彩繪現在只剩下一些殘漬。

秦兵馬俑軍陣史無記載，直至1974年被發現，舉世震驚。
三個俑坑內藏陶俑、馬約八千件，皆仿真人、真馬塑造，栩栩如生，
另有數十萬件青銅兵器，至今仍寒光閃閃、鋒利如新，活現兩千多年前秦始皇併吞六國、一統天下的壯盛軍容。

The vaults or pits containing Qin Shihuang`s Terracotta Army of more than 6,000 life size terracotta warriors,
with horses and chariots lined up facing east and ready for battle,
is one of the world's most remarkable archaeological finds.

The terracotta warriors were made for Qin Shihuang (259-210BC),also known as The First Emperor,
and with his mausoleum lying only 1.5km away,
it is assumed the army was made to accompany him on his journeys after death.

The statues were built over 2,000 years ago from the local clay.
Each warrior's face was carved individually and no two faces are the same.
Many warriors clearly belong to China's minority groups, which is significant as Qin Shihuang was the first emperor to unify China.

After standing in waiting underground in their forgotten vault for over a thousand years,
the Terracotta Army was uncovered by chance in 1974 by some local farmers trying to sink a new well.
Since then three pits containing soldiers and artifacts have been slowly and carefully excavated.
The three vaults or pits are protected by large hangar type structures and the process of excavating the army is an ongoing task.
