The archeological team leader uncovers the secret of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses wearing green clothes.

In the Terra Cotta Warriors, green has become the most popular color of clothing, and even this green face of the Terracotta Warriors has emerged.

The history of the Western Internet News said that the Qins are still dark, but Qin Shi, who is dressed in black shirts, is rare. On the contrary, bright colors such as red, green, blue and purple have become the main colors of clothing.

So, what kind of color did Qin Hao like most? In the book “Talk about Qin Hao’s Things” written by Xu Weihong, the archaeological excavation leader of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses in 2009-2011, the author gave the answer—green turned out to be the most popular. s color.

The main color of the Qin army shirt is actually green

The book records a statistic that Father Qin Zhongyi once did: 277 pieces of pottery tops, 118 in green, which accounted for 42.6% of the total; of the 425 pieces, 233 were green, accounting for At 54.8% of the total, there were 177 items of clothing, 182 pieces of necks (similar to collars) and 239 cuffs, with greens accounting for 57.6%, 37.4% and 41.4%, respectively, and still the most.

Why does green color become the most popular color? According to Xu Weihong, this may be related to the abundant source of green dyes. “At that time, the Qin people had their own clothes and the malachite that was used to grind the green dye was relatively common at that time, and ordinary civilians were also easily available. It was not surprising that a large number of people appeared.”

Terracotta Warriors need four steps

Then how did the Qin people paint the Terracotta Army? It is understood that the process of painting is mainly divided into four steps:

The first step is to use a putty to polish the surface of the ceramic base and fill the gap. Not all Terracotta warriors and horses are required to do this. When the Terra Cotta Warriors produced the clay, the surface was troweled and calendered. After the kiln, the vast majority of the Terracotta Warriors were delicate and smooth, and the painting could be directly performed on the surface of the pottery. Processing steps.

The second step is to brush the lacquer layer on the surface of the ceramic or putty.

The third step is to use a colorant formulated into a color that matches the desired color tone and spreads over a portion of the lacquer layer.

The fourth step is to paint or smudge the local details such as eyebrows, beards, etc. The more easily painted part will use a large brush of more than 10 cm, but details such as hair and accessories will be painted with a relatively small pen. Through traces on the painting, it can also be seen that a ruler is used in this process.
