This is the famous Bing Ma Yong, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Qin Shi Huang. It was built based in the orders of the Emperor, who still wanted to be the Emperor even after his death. These soldiers are to protect Emperor Qin in his afterlife. I feel that this means that in China, they believe that the Emperor is very majestic and mighty, and has to be protected at all times, even after death. The Emperor is so important and must be protected, that he actually has over 8000 soldiers protecting him after death!
