The first Emperor of Qin (259 BC - 210 BC) ordered to build his mausoleum. During the construction, he recruited thousands of boys and girls as his human sacrifice. Li Si , the prime minister, nerved itself to suggest: "Human sacrifice must cause social unrest. Why don’t we fire clay in the shape of persons to form a variety of figurines? †." The emperor thought : “ The people who die unwillingly would assault my peace after death...†As a result, he took Li Si’s advice and called up national pottery craftsmen to make terra-cotta warriors and horses.
