The Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang

It was only after visiting the Terracotta Army that I realized... It was only after visiting the Terracotta Army that I realized each warrior is 1.8 meters tall, all modeled after real people, with thousands of distinct faces and expressions. Qin Shi Huang himself was a tall, rich, and handsome man at 1.85 meters. It was only then I learned that the Terracotta Warriors were originally colorful, but the paint peeled off over time upon exposure to air. It was only then I discovered that many of the Terracotta Warriors were in pieces, painstakingly restored by experts. It was only then I found out that the Terracotta Army is just a corner of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, which is as big as 78 Forbidden Cities. It was only then I knew, currently, there is only one kneeling archer that is intact and unrestored, and what we now refer to as a 'beer belly' was originally known as a 'general's belly.' I also learned that the height of the shoes signifies arrogance.
