China Daily  

The Terracotta Army No 1 pit at Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi'an, Shaanxi province. The 52-year-old conservator-restorer is part of a specialist team piecing together and repairing the Terracotta Army, which was discovered at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, in March 1974. Pointing to life-size Terracotta Warriors wearing suits of armor and with their hair in buns, Lan said: "These are pieces of history that have been vividly preserved. The layer of varnish on newly unearthed Terracotta Warriors in the funerary pits warps and shrinks within minutes of them being found, due to sudden changes in temperature and humidity. Wang said, "The greatest effort we make to safeguard the Terracotta Warriors goes into protecting the varnish and colorful painting."
