What Made the Chariot and Horse So Special
As we all know the bronze chariots and horses unearthed are a great discovery, together with the amazing Terracotta Army. But what made them so special? The reason lies in the following: though buried underground for over two thousand years, the components of bronze chariots and horses are still flexible – what a shocker! Moreover the bronze chariots and horses are made with techniques beyond our imagination. The first feature that made the bronze chariots and horses so special would be the neck ring which was made of real gold and silver – making them priceless and valuable. The most important is, gold and silver have different melting point, under standard atmospheric pressure, the gold is 1337.43 ℃ and 960.8 ℃ for silver. Two thousand years ago the workman spliced them together, leaving almost no trace of joint mark. Some people later tried to reproduce, but the use of advanced equipment had failed to achieve the original glory.

The bronze canopy is said to face east in the morning and west in the afternoon. In fact it is semiautomatic and multipurpose combined equipment, like a Transformer, hardly seen anywhere else in the world.
