CHAPTER 2
TERRACOTTA ARMY
Come and see the Terracotta Army: more than 8,000 statues were made in
the third century BCE to guard the tomb of the Chinese Emperor Qinshihuang!
Each statue has a different face, leading researchers to believe that each one
is a copy of a real soldier. The statues fill only one part of the emperor's huge
tomb, which still has not been completely unearthed. More than 700,000
people worked for nearly 40 years to build this tomb. However, no one in
modern times knew about the tomb or the terracotta statues until 1974, when
some farmers discovered the tomb while they were digging a well!

Activity 1
read the page about the Terracotta Army from a travel brochure and tell us what amazes you most.
Dear Xiao Li,
My time here in China is going well. I love my new school and classmates. Over the
October holiday, my parents and I are planning to go to Xi'an to see the Terracotta
Army. I've heard that it is an amazing sight, and I can't wait to go. To me, the story of
the Terracotta Army is almost unbelievable. It's amazing that there are more than 8,000
statues, and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s.
We're also planning to visit several other places in Xi'an. My dad and I are both
looking forward to going to the Shaanxi History Museum, because my dad loves
history and I have heard that this museum is known as a "Chinese treasure house"!
We're also going to the Xi'an City Wall and a few other famous sights.
We're taking the train, leaving the day before the October holiday begins. We're arriving at
9:30 a.m. and will start sightseeing right away, so I hope we sleep well on the train!
I guess that's all for now! I'll write again soon and send photos! Do you have any plans for
the coming holiday Hope to hear from you soon.

Richard
