The Chinese diet was (and still is) mostly vegetarian. The Chinese temples and monasteries taught people that a healthy diet led to a long life and emphasized vegetarianism as a humane and healthy way of eating. The Chinese did eat meat but it was rare, and one would never kill a chicken which was still laying eggs. Fish was the most popular dish served with rice and vegetables.

Girls as young as toddlers would have their feet wrapped in bandages so tightly it broke their toes and curled them under the foot. Girls had to walk around stepping on their own toes and were in constant pain for years until they grew used to it. Although this practice started among the upper classes, it soon became common for all women in China. This made working in the rice fields or doing any kind of manual labor, very difficult. Women are shown in ancient paintings crawling in the rice paddies because they could not walk. Foot binding continued for centuries until it was outlawed in 1911 CE.

Most of the population of China wore clothing made of hemp. Women wore long tunics which went to their ankles with a tie around their waists; men's tunics were shorter, only to their knees, and sometimes they wore pants with cloth boots or sandals. In the colder seasons they would wear a thick jacket made of hemp, which was padded for additional warmth. Chinese women would sew an image of a tiger onto the clothing of their children as a sign of protection. The tiger was thought to be the king of the beasts and its image would ward off evil. Sometimes mothers sewed images of toads or snakes onto clothing along with the tiger to add more protection against danger. This practice spread to the upper classes where dragons and tigers were embroidered on silk gowns for the same purpose.

This copious amounts of pottery displayed in the terracota showed us that they had lots of pottery.

They found not one, but thousands of clay soldiers, each with unique facial expressions and positioned according to rank. And though largely gray today, patches of paint hint at once brightly colored clothes. Further excavations have revealed swords, arrow tips, and other weapons, many in pristine condition (Roach, 2019).
This shows that the ancient chinese are skilled and are very advanced in technology. Also, it show that Emperor Qin strongly believed in the afterlife and also wanted to be in power in the afterlife.

All pottery warriors and horses were made using local clay, then baked in the kiln. After firing the figures were completed with painted detail. The Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses were made in life-size. This would have taken 38 years.

Literally, how useless is this topic... Pottery.

- builders and architects who built the tomb were sealed inside the tomb
- builders used Qin bricks and tiles, engraved with decorative patterns, everywhere around the tomb
- the labourers came from three groups of people. The first were the craftsmen. The second were the prisoners. The third were the people working to repay a debt
- these people had violated the rules at that time and had to pay a fine. But with no money to pay fines, they were forced to build the mausoleum
- many labourers died of hardship during its construction, and all the workmen were entombed along with the emperor in order to keep their mouths shut
- believed to have been 700,000 workers and taken more than 36 years to complete
- it is believed that the workers built the tomb so it consists of an interior city and an exterior city.
- The historian Sima Qian (c. 145–c. 87 bce) wrote:

The labourers dug through three subterranean streams, which they sealed off with bronze to construct the burial chamber. They built models of palaces, pavilions, and offices and filled the tomb with fine vessels, precious stones, and rarities. Artisans were ordered to install mechanically triggered crossbows set to shoot any intruder. With quicksilver the various waterways of the empire, the Yangtze and Yellow rivers, and even the great ocean itself were created and made to flow and circulate mechanically. With shining pearls the heavenly constellations were depicted above, and with figures of birds in gold and silver and of pine trees carved of jade the earth was laid out below. Lamps were fueled with whale oil so that they might burn for the longest possible time.

- when the workers built the tomb, it was surrounded by a city of palaces above-ground and hundreds of chambers below ground
- workers from every province of the Empire toiled unceasingly until the death of the Emperor in 210 in order to construct a subterranean city within a gigantic mound

- It's said that the terracotta warriors were based off real warriors that served in the emperor's army. (Owen Jarus, 2016) They were all unique, with different expressions, builds and features.

- Andrew Bevan, an archaeologist at University College London, along with colleagues, used advanced computer analyses to compare 30 warrior ears photographed at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in China to find out whether, statistically speaking, the auricular ridges are as “idiosyncratic” and “strongly individual” as they are in people.

- Turns out no two ears are alike, raising the possibility that the figures are based on a real army of warriors.

- The army was created to protect the emperor in the afterlife and conquer heaven. The beliefs in China at that time supports this idea.

- Accordingly, "the figures are substitutes for real soldiers as
little as Cezanne's still life is a substitute for a plate of fruit."

- "The artificial substitutes
were regarded as even more appropriate, more fitting
for this task than the interment of real people, as they would
be able to depict all the required activities-embodied in
specific postures and gestures-far better than sacrificial
victims could." (Ladislav Kesner, 1995)

Weaponry that were found in Shi Huangdi's Terracotta Warrior pits included:

- Swords: in fighting, swords were used to stab people - Shi Huangdi ordered to make them long to have the advantage of stabbing from a distance.
- Spears: the spears found in the tomb were made of bronze and were sharp and exquisite.
- Crossbows: these crossbows were good at holding tension and could fly further than the normal bows.
- Arrowheads: bronze arrows were found and they were prismatic. There were some iron arrowheads were found.
- Dagger axe: they were pointy weapons commonly used in close combat.

Many weapons were made out of bronze and this shows that in the Qin Dynasty they were in the Bronze Age. Some soldiers hold weapons, but most do not. The soldiers appear to have held weaponry in the way that their arms are positioned. The weapons were possibly stolen when the burial pits were looted in 206 BC.

- The terracotta figures of warriors and horses, each of which tends to vary in height, uniform, and hairstyle in accordance with rank, are arranged in the battle formations accepted by the Qin Emperor.
- To date four major, and several hundred lesser, underground pits, totalling 22,000 square meters, have been discovered with an estimated 8,000 life-size terracotta figures of warriors together with 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses.
- According to Capon: "While they've only really scratched the surface of what's there, they've already found the bronze chariots and horses, life-sized pottery figures of officials, life-sized pottery figures of acrobats to entertain the emperor in the afterlife, suits of stone armour and, most spectacular of all, a kind of contrived arcadia with a stream, adjacent to it a set of musicians and beside the stream about 40 bronze waterbirds."
- These are half size scale-models of real chariots and horses, faithfully copied down to the last detail.
- The horses, drawing chariots, are richly adorned with gold and silver gears.
- These horses show that the people of the Qin Dynasty believe that if they bury horses/statues of horses, then they will go with you to the afterlife.
