BEIJING, April 26 (Xinhua)
-- China's terracotta warriors and
horses will be displayed in Romania
as part of a cultural exchange
program between the two countries,
organizers said Friday.
Terracotta
sculptures depicting soldiers kneeling and
firing arrows, generals wearing armor
and reinsmen will be included in
the three-month event, which is set
to open Monday, according to Art
Exhibitions China (AEC), the
organizer.
The display, to be
held at the National Museum of
Romanian History, will also exhibit
ancient Chinese cultural relics provided
by 11 museums such as the Palace
Museum and the Emperor Qinshihuang's
Mausoleum Site Museum. Visitors will
get to enjoy and learn about 5,000
years of Chinese history.
The
ancient terracotta army, buried for
centuries to guard the tomb of
China's first emperor Qinshihuang, was
discovered in 1974 in Xi'an City.
It represents one of the greatest
archaeological finds of modern times,
and was listed as a World
Heritage Site in 1987.
This is
the third time China will hold
a major relics exhibition in Romania,
with the first in 1973 followed by
one in 1985.
