The Terracotta Army was buried with the first Emperor of Qin (Qin Shi Huangdi) in 210-209 BC (his reign over Qin was from 247 BC to 221 BC and over unified China from 221 BC to his death). Their purpose was to help rule another empire with Shi Huangdi in the afterlife. Consequently, they are also sometimes referred to as "Qin's Armies". The Terracotta Army was discovered in March 1974 by local farmers drilling a water well to the east of Mount Lishan. (The precise coordinates are 34°23?5.71?N, 109°16?23.19?ECoordinates: 34°23?5.71?N, 109°16?23.19?E.) Mount Lishan is also where the material to make the terracotta warriors originated. In addition to the warriors, an entire man made necropolis for the emperor has been excavated. Construction of this mausoleum began in 246 BC and is believed to have taken 700,000 workers and craftsmen 38 years to complete. Qin Shi Huangdi was interred inside the tomb complex upon his death in 210 BC. According to the Grand Historian Sima Qian, the First Emperor was buried alongside great amounts of treasure and objects of craftsmanship, as well as a scale replica of the universe complete with gemmed ceilings representing the cosmos, and flowing mercury representing the great earthly bodies of water. Pearls were also placed on the ceilings in the tomb to represent the stars, planets, etc. Recent scientific work at the site has shown high levels of mercury in the soil of Mount Lishan, tentatively indicating an accurate description of the site's contents by Sima Qian. The tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi is near an earthen pyramid 76 meters tall and nearly 350 square meters. The tomb presently remains unopened. There are plans to seal off the area around the tomb with a special tent-type structure to prevent corrosion from exposure to outside air. However, there is at present only one company in the world that makes these tents, and their largest model will not cover the site as needed. Qin Shi Huangdi's necropolis complex was constructed to serve as an imperial compound or palace. It comprises several offices, halls and other structures and is surrounded by a wall with gateway entrances. The remains of the craftsmen working in the tomb may also be found within its confines, as it is believed they were sealed inside alive to keep them from divulging any secrets about its riches or entrance. It was only fitting, therefore, to have this compound protected by the massive terracotta army interred nearby.

The Zhou Dynasty (Chinese: ; pinyin: Zh?u Cháo; Wade-Giles: Chou Ch`ao; POJ: Chiu Tiau; 1122 BC to 256 BC) was preceded by the Shang Dynasty and followed by the Qin Dynasty in China. The Zhou dynasty lasted longer than any other dynasty in Chinese history?though the actual political and military control of China by the dynasty only lasted during the Western Zhou. During the Zhou, the use of iron was introduced to China, while this period of Chinese history produced what many consider the zenith of Chinese bronze-ware making. The dynasty also spans the period in which the written script evolved from the ancient stage as seen in early Western Zhou bronze inscriptions, to the beginnings of the modern stage, in the form of the archaic clerical script of the late Warring States period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhou_dynasty ? http://bk.baidu.com/view/6573.htm The Warring States Period (traditional Chinese: ; simplified Chinese: ; pinyin: Zhànguó Shídài), also known as the Era of Warring States, covers the period from some time in the 5th century BCE to the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty in 221 BCE. It is nominally considered to be the second part of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, following the Spring and Autumn Period, although the Zhou dynasty itself ended in 256 BCE, 35 years earlier than the end of the Warring States period. As with the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Zhou acted merely as a figurehead. The name Warring States Period was derived from the Record of the Warring States, a work historically compiled early in the Han Dynasty. The date for the beginning of the Warring States Period is somewhat in dispute. While it is frequently cited as 475 BCE (following the Spring and Autumn Period), 403 BCE ? the date of the tripartition of the Jin ? is also sometimes considered as the beginning of the period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warring_States ?(?475?221 (?403 ?221 ?)? http://bk.baidu.com/view/20236.htm?func=retitle Qín or Ch'in (Wade-Giles) (?), (778 BC-207 BC) was a state during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods of China. It eventually grew to dominate the country and unite it for the first time, after which it is referred to as the Qin Dynasty. The surname of its rulers was Ying (?). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_(state) ? http://bk.baidu.com/view/38096.htm#5 Auteur: Juanpingz Tags: and China Civilization History Horses Qin QinShihuang Terra-cotta Warriors ? ?

Camilla Saulsbury makes a vegtarian/vegan panna cotta--a rich and elegant custard dessert that hails from Italy--by using agar agar (a plant-based gelatin) instead of the usual gelatin (which is an animal-based product). The recipe is also light in fat and calories thanks to the use of light coconut milk and soy yogurt, but it still tastes rich and decadent.

The Lüshi Chunqiu (Chinese: ; pinyin: Lüshi ch?nqi?; Wade-Giles: Lü-shih ch'un-ch'iu; literally "Mister Lü's Spring and Autumn [Annals]") is an encyclopedic Chinese classic text compiled around 239 BCE under the patronage of the Qin Dynasty Chancellor Lü Buwei. In the evaluation of Michael Carson and Michael Loewe, The Lü shih ch'un ch'iu is unique among early works in that it is well organized and comprehensive, containing extensive passages on such subjects as music and agriculture, which are unknown elsewhere. It is also one of the longest of the early texts, extending to something over 100,000 characters. To the usual description of its language as 'homogeneous' there must be added the qualifications that there is considerable borrowing from other texts with differing grammatical characteristics, and the fact that in different parts of the book there are different patterns of word usage.
