Shaanxi History Museum: Relics of Eastern Zhou and Qin Dynasties

Because of the gradual development of iron-making, the bronze-making techniques declined in Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770BC-256BC). Iron tools are widely used instead of bronze ones in Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC). The Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the currency, army, weights and measures after he founded the first centralized country. In the museum, currency of Qin Dynasty and currency of different states during the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC-476BC) and Warring States Period (475BC-221BC) are on display. Different kinds of terra-cotta warriors and bronze chariot and horses are also displayed in the museum. Detailed Information about Relics of Qin Dynasty
