Qin Shi Huang
First emperor of the united China
Over two thousand years ago
Determined he would need protection
In his afterlife
For forty years he created an
Army, soldiers, horsemen, chariots
In terracotta, to be placed under terra firma
Animated with him after early death
In the necropolis of Xi’an
Keeping Warrior States at bay
Terracotta Warriors Museum Xi’an, Shaanxi, China
