The "Pit of Hundred Opera Terracotta Warriors" museum at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor will open on October 1 The Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum has recently launched the archaeological excavation of the "Hundred Opera Terracotta Pit". However, due to the construction progress of the site protection hall, the actual archaeological excavation will not start until July, and ordinary tourists will have to wait until the official opening of the museum on October 1 this year. According to archaeological exploration, archaeologists have discovered more than 180 burial pits of various types near the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, among which the more important ones include pits for bronze chariots and horses, pits for rare birds and animals, pits for 100 opera figurines, stone armor pits, and various Tibetan pits with different connotations. The "Hundred Opera Terracotta Pit" was discovered in 1999 and was numbered K9901 as a burial pit. It is located between the inner and outer city in the southeast of the Qin Mausoleum. Cao Wei, deputy director of Qinling Museum, who is in charge of the archaeological excavation, said that the excavation of the pit of Baixi Terracotta Warriors is a perennial task. In the future, after the relics hall of the Baixi Pit is built, it will be the same as the excavation of the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. 1, that is, it will be opened and excavated at the same time. Visitors can watch the archaeological process up close. The opening time is October 1 this year. It is understood that the Baixi Terracotta Warriors Pit is a completely different type of burial pit than the figurines unearthed from the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. 1, 2 and 3. They wear neither battle robes nor armor, but are naked on the upper body and clothed on the lower body. Some of them are holding things up with one hand, some are twisting things with both hands, and some are dancing with poles between their arms, showing the image of a variety of acrobats. It is not difficult to get a glimpse of the Qin people's entertainment scene.
