Scope note:

Refers to the the culture, style, and period associated with the Qin dynasty, the first imperial Chinese dynasty, dating from 221-206 BCE. It was during this time that the Great Wall was constructed. Few art objects can be definitely attributed to this period, the best known being life-size pottery soldiers and horses found at the tomb of King Zheng in Lintong.
