[quote=MERMAID,223052]On the weapons in the terra cotta army some Chinese characters were engraved. Due to researchers, they were names and the one appeared most was “Prime Minister Lv Bu Wei”. In the book Lv Shi Chun Qiu on Qin’s history by Lv Bu Wei, it was said potters should engrave their names on wares they made.As the Prime Minister, Lv Bu Wei was the CEO of the weapon factory, under him, there were factory directors, then person in charge of a workshop and then workers. We dont kno the details of management but we do kno the Qin Law was extremely strict. Through these cold bronze wares, we seem to kno destinations of some ordinary people of that age.In these factories, people got to work life-long. How did they spend time there we dont kno but I guess it would not be easy for them and for their family.The terra cottas are from two parts: one from the official factories and others from ordinary people, therefore, the quality differs. Isnt it amazing? There are no twins of warriors or there were no twins at all at that age?Hope you will like this birthday gift![/quote]
