Event Details

Uncover the story behind the famous terra-cotta warriors, one of China's archaeological treasures. Travel into daily life in the Qin Dynasty, China's first empire; encounter the emperor Qinshi Huangdi, builder of warriors, and observe his highly bureaucratic and technocratic regime.

We are taking a break from reading this month, but please feel free to come watch a documentary with the group, followed by a brief discussion.

Join us for "The First Emperor's Terra-Cotta Warriors", Episode 2 from Season 1 of The Great Courses collection Understanding Imperial China: Dynasties, Life, & Culture.
