Shaanxi has a long history and well-known national culture. It is one of the birthplaces of Chinese ancient people and Chinese national culture.Since the time of Zhou 13 dynasties had capitals in Shaanxi.Shaanxi province was given the short name "Qin" because it belonged to Qin country in ancient times; The Terracotta Army or the "Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses", is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China.The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, horses. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits
Qingqiang is the typical opera of Shaanxi province. It is the oldest of all the Chinese operas that are still in existence today. During its long history, more than 4000 traditional programs have been accumulated, which outnumbers those of any other local opera.This distinctive opera is actually more local yodeling than real opera! Qingqiang is also earlier than Beijing opera , Beijing opera arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century.Major performance troupes are based in Beijing and Tianjin in the north, and Shanghai in the south. The art form is also preserved in Taiwan where it is known as Guoju.
I really had wondered about Terracotta Army. Those are very mysterious to me. But, I became to know about that, so I am good. Qin Shi Huang is famous in Korea. Especially, a herb of eternal youth.
