The farmer who first discovered the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shihuang was called Yang Zhifa (the farmer led by Yang Zhifa discovered the Terracotta Warriors). Several farmers, such as Yang, Yang Xinman from Xiahe Village, Lintong District, discovered the Terracotta Warriors at 1974.

Qualification certificate of the discoverer of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses;

For years, I have been confused, unfair and even angry about this issue. After a long discussion, (12,2003, 10) Yesterday morning, three people, including Yang Xinman, Yang and Yang, represented nine discoverers, and finally submitted the Application Report for the Qualification of Discovers of Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Dynasty to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum (hereinafter referred to as the Terracotta Warriors Museum), asking the museum to issue a certificate to confirm their "right of discovery".

It is also required to write all the names of "farmers" in the introduction text of the first pit of the museum. For a long time, the "farmer" in the introduction text of pit 1 of the Terracotta Warriors Museum has not been recognized.

Since 1985, nine people, including Yang Xinman, Yang, and Yang, have repeatedly sought the Qin figurine museum and asked it to be recognized, but it has been fruitless. And a comrade in the cultural center, later known as the discoverer, became the "first person to find Qin figurines" after some media reports.

As a cultural relics management department, it didn't scientifically demonstrate and investigate who discovered it first, but just replaced it with the word "farmer", which virtually obliterated the legal rights of those farmers who dug wells at that time and buried their right to discover. This practice of replacing the right of discovery with "farmers" is essentially a contempt for the right of discovery of farmers.

The spirit of science is seeking truth from facts, and nothing can be false. In particular, archaeology should respect history, human rights and the right of first discovery. The word "farmer" is used to cover the names of specific discoverers. To put it bluntly, the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang does not want to tell future generations the real situation when recording history, and does not want future generations to know that those farmers discovered the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang.

How should we answer the question about who discovered the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Qin Dynasty? Is it vague or vague? At this point, farmers' demands are not only responsible for history, but also for future generations. Therefore, it is reasonable for farmers to apply for confirmation of the discovery right of Qin terracotta warriors and horses.
