Terracotta army.
When the first feudal emperor of the Chine Tzyin Shihuandy had united the country, he produced degradations and deprived previous Chinese aristocracy of power and privileges, undertook rigors to dissenters, and all further Chinese States have inherited his management system like a model of a government bureaucracy.
Tzyin Shihuandy was so obsessed with a passionate dream about his immortality, adjoining with obsession, that he turned into hypochondriac at last years, however, at the age of 48 years he absurd tottered by the hand of his concubine.
A many-thousand strong army of terracotta statues was modelled for convoy the emperor in a posthumous life.
Legion of clay soldiers guarded the spirit of their sovereign as they could; neither robbers of graves, nor archeologists didn't disturb his tomb up to now, and great number of human skeletons were found among excavated statues.
In any case a discovery of the terracotta army has transformed town Xian into a popular tourist centre, where affable, officious tour guides are delivering a eulogy for a first emperor of the feudal Chine.
