Chinese Art

Chinese art is really beautiful, it goes from poetry to silk to paintings and sculptures. The Terracotta Army is a fascinating aspect of Ancient Chinese art. It was created for the burial of the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, in order to protect him in the afterlife. It consists of thousands of sculptures that make up an army of soldiers. There were sculptures of over 8,000 soldiers and 520 horses in the terracotta army. These weren't tiny sculptures either. All 8,000 soldiers were life-sized. They had details too, including uniforms, weapons, armor, and each soldier even had his own unique face. It's really detailed and nice. Also silk made from silkworms had came from China which made beautiful dresses, cloth and more out of it. Another art is the Chinese symbols with 40,000 characters.
