Lintong County - Right now our Emperor, Emperor Qin, recently ordered craftsman to make exact replicas of his warriors out of clay to put in his tomb. Emperor Qin has ordered craftsmen to do this because he wanted his warriors to be with him after he dies so they can protect him in the afterlife. They tomb right now (in 221 B.C.) is still under construction 20 miles east of Xiayang. Another reason why Emperor Qin is doing this is so he can have an army in the present and in the afterlife.
    Emperor Qin was first emperor of China, and first to control all of China. Qin never took orders from anyone and didn’t trust any one. He ordered craftsmen to build his tomb and and the Terracotta army to protect him in the afterlife. Qin wanted to live forever so he can rule China forever. So he ordered alchemists to make elixirs/potions for him to drink for him to live forever.
    When we went near the site of the construction of Emperor Qin’s we asked some witnesses of what they thought about the tomb. One man named Ban Chao, a poor farmer, was asked “Do you think what Emperor Qin is doing right now a good or a bad idea?” Ban thought the idea was a good idea. “It ‘s a good idea, it will show how the warriors look like to know what Emperor Qin’s army looked like. It will also show how China looks like today,” Ban said excitedly.
    After Ban’s response we decided to ask another man to see his opinion about this event. We asked a man named Zhang Qian, a poor merchant, the same question, and he thinks the tomb is a bad idea. “I honestly think that the tomb dumb, a waist of time, and a waist of money,” Zhang said strictly. Zhang also told us that the tomb is probably one of the worst ideas Emperor Qin has made.
