Postscript: Hahahaha, the classic is Terracotta Warriors, but it is not in this museum, but you can also go and see it. In the Terracotta Warriors Museum, it is called? Treasure of the town hall? This is a kneeling statue. It is the best preserved and the only kneeling figurine that has not been repaired manually. Up to now, all kinds of pottery figurines unearthed in the pit of Qin terracotta warriors and horses, except kneeling figurines, have been damaged to varying degrees and need to be repaired manually. This kneeling figurine is the most complete, and even the clothing lines and hair can be clearly seen after careful observation.
