bingmayong — warriors or army?
December 15th, 2005
They are called “Terracotta warriors”, but more correctly:
The Terracotta Army (兵馬俑;
pinyin: bīng mǎ yōng or bing1ma3yong3 , literal meaning: “Soldier and Horse Figures”), inside the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor (秦始皇陵; pinyin: qín shǐ huáng líng ), was discovered in March 1974 during the sinking of wells for farmland irrigation construction near Xi’an, Shaanxi province, People’s Republic of China.
So They should be army (including warriors and horses) instead of just warriors.
