The pit of terracotta warriors and horses is located in the south of Xiyang Village, 1.5 kilometers east of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Three pits have been discovered, which are respectively compiled as No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit. The three figurine pits cover an area of more than 20,000 square meters, and there are nearly 8,000 pottery figurines and horses that are similar in size to real people and real horses. There are different arms such as chariots, cavalry and infantry, arranged in an orderly manner. The terracotta figurines have different images and vivid expressions. They are a pearl in the history of ancient Chinese sculpture art and are known as "the eighth wonder of the world" and "one of the great discoveries in the archaeological history of the 20th century". In March 1974, farmers in Xiyang Village, Lintong District accidentally discovered some fragments of pottery figurines while digging a well. After more than a year of exploration and trial excavation by archaeologists, it was confirmed that it was a large-scale terracotta warrior pit, that is, the No. 1 terracotta warrior pit. Pit No. 1 is 230 meters long from east to west, 62 meters wide from north to south, 4.5 to 6.5 meters deep from the current surface, and covers an area of 14,260 square meters. According to the calculation of the arrangement density of the unearthed pottery figurines and horses, about 6,000 pottery figurines, pottery horses and a large number of bronze weapons are buried in Pit No. 1.
