a well during a drought uncovered some clay warriors. The excavation site is
in Lintong County, a few miles distant from the actual burial mound of Qin Shi
Huangdi , the first emperor. About 6,000 figures have been standing here by
the tomb of the emperor for over 2,000 years. This is the first vault. The second
and third vaults, which contain additional 2,000 figures of men and horses,
were discovered in 1976. The figures are of larger than life size. Each has
different facial feature, how the hairstyles and details of uniform vary according
to the army rank, and the contrast between the standing and kneeling soldiers.

The different of the 3 kinds warriors are their headwear. Even headwear is civil
official. Two corners headwear is general, one bob is cavalryman.
