A Tomb Guarded By An Army

Literature, Art and Music

There was a bunch of different literature in the Qin Dynasty, one of them was that the written language in the Qin Dynasty was logographic. Logographic writing was basically that each symbol represented an idea. For example, one symbol in logographic could stand for anything, like a dog or a cat or anything you could think of. As you could probably imagine, it takes a long time to learn all of the symbols and it also takes a really long time to learn how to write all of the symbols, but kids get taught all of these symbols throughout their years in school.

There wasn’t much art in the Qin Dynasty, but there was one big piece of art that was really important. Emperor Qin’s tomb was a huge piece of art. The tomb itself was amazingly decorated and colorful. The tomb was also very big and there was so much artistic details. Around his tomb is guarded by hundreds and hundreds of stone men in the terra cotta army. They are all in rows lined up next to each other. This was the most artistic and amazing artifact that was in the Qin Dynasty.

There was a bunch of different literature in the Qin Dynasty, and the tomb of Emperor Qin was probably the most valued piece of art work in the Qin Dynasty.
