I. When the "Underground Army" Enters Everyday Life: Why is this Terracotta Warrior Figurine Irreplaceable?

Beneath the loess soil of Lintong, Xi'an, the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, which has slumbered for over 2200 years, awes every visitor as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." Those armored generals, kneeling archers poised for battle, and soldiers standing tall and proud are not only a microcosm of the Qin Dynasty's military power but also a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient artisans—each terracotta warrior's face, hairstyle, and clothing are unique, even the curve of their fingernails is meticulously sculpted.

We firmly believe that great civilizations should not remain confined to glass cases in museums. Thus, this figurine, solely inspired by the Terracotta Army, was born: it's not a simple scaled-down replica, but rather a modern deconstruction of historical details, allowing you to experience the grandeur and refinement of the "underground army" in your everyday life.

II. Replicating Millennia-Old Details: How Meticulous is the Design of This Figurine?

From selecting the prototype to refining the craftsmanship, every step pays homage to the original charm of the Terracotta Army:

1. Prototype Selection: Focusing on the "Treasure of the Museum"—the Kneeling Archer

Why choose the kneeling archer? It is one of the best-preserved terracotta figures among the Terracotta Army—its low center of gravity due to its kneeling posture has allowed it to remain intact despite earthquakes over a thousand years, earning it the title of "the wisdom pillar of the ancient military formation" from archaeologists. The figure recreates its classic pose at a 1:20 scale: left leg bent, right leg kneeling, hands loosely clenched (the original terracotta figure is depicted holding a crossbow), even the folds and curves of the armor at the knees are perfectly consistent with the data in the collection of the Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum.

2. A Feast for Detail Enthusiasts: The "Qin Dynasty Code" Hidden Within

Facial Expression: Abandoning the standardized "mass-produced faces," the design references the "square face" contours of real terracotta warriors, sculpting a slightly resolute gaze and a slightly pursed mouth. Even the angle of the cheekbone's protrusion was adjusted three times, replicating the "weathered yet piercing gaze" of Qin soldiers.

Clothing Patterns: The "diamond pattern" on the hem of the battle robe originates from the everyday uniforms of Qin soldiers. The arrangement of the armor plates strictly follows the ancient method of "upper plate overlapping lower plate, front plate overlapping back plate," using relief carving to give each armor plate a 0.3mm three-dimensional raised surface, allowing you to feel the texture of history as you run your fingertips over it.

Hidden Easter Egg: A tiny "Qin" seal in seal script is engraved on the inside of the base, echoing the inscriptions found on the terracotta warriors (such as "Xianyang Wu" and "Gong Bing"), as if the craftsmen of two thousand years ago were "signing" their work to today's figurine.

3. Materials and Craftsmanship: Giving History Warmth

Abandoning cheap plastics, a delicate resin material is chosen. After curing at 120℃, the surface undergoes an antiquing treatment to simulate the warm texture of terracotta—preserving the rustic feel of the artifact while being lighter and more durable than real terracotta figures. Mineral pigments are used for coloring; the "bluish-gray" of the armor closely resembles the color of the oxidation layer when unearthed, while the "ochre" of the battle robe replicates the plant dyeing techniques of the Qin Dynasty, ensuring long-lasting color retention and developing a richer, more appealing look over time.
