"The Terracotta Army is one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th century," VMFA Director Alex Nyerges told Xinhua.
The exhibition, according to the museum, showcases over 130 works of art, drawn from the collections of 14 art museums and archaeological institutes across northwest China's Shaanxi, including more than 40 objects never shown before in the United States.
"From the featured objects, our audience will learn about the First Emperor's political and cultural innovation and legacy, as well as gain a better understanding about ancient Chinese cultural history as part of world civilization

The terracotta figures displayed at the VMFA were among the estimated 8,000 life-size sculptures of warriors, chariots, and horses that were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong District, outside Xi'an in Shaanxi province.
The grand mausoleum complex was listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1987.
Nyerges said the exhibition is the first of its kind organized by the VMFA that is devoted to the art and archaeology of ancient China in the museum's 80-year history.
Lasting until March next year, the three-section exhibition will take visitors on a journey to explore how the Qin state developed into an empire under Ying Zheng (259-210 BC), who unified China and declared himself Qin Shihuang, or the First Emperor of Qin, and his quest for immortality.
Besides

Li Jian, one of the exhibition's curators, told Xinhua that these objects, dating from the Zhou dynasty (1046-256 BC) through the Qin dynasty (221-206 BC), reflect the complex history, myths and burial customs of ancient China and explore Emperor Qin Shihuang's profound influence on Chinese history, art, and culture.
"The legacy of the First Emperor is enormous

"Going to a museum is the very best way for people to learn other countries' culture and history

"The Qin Dynasty is so important that it allowed China to become what it is today," the director stressed. "It would be the greatest chapter for American people to start learning the Chinese history."
Looking at a 2,200-year-old armor set, Lynn Johnson, a local visitor at the exhibition, told Xinhua that she was amazed by the incredible display of the Terracotta Army at the exhibition.
"Just imagine what it feels like to stand in front of thousands of sculptures inside Emperor Qin Shihuang's mausoleum complex," she said. "I would love to go to China and see them myself someday in the future."
HANOI, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- While the size of Vietnam's workforce is still expanding, its youth population is shrinking
http://www.airmax97undefeateduk.com/ , which means Vietnam cannot continue to rely on the size of its workforce for continued success, and focus needs to be shifted to making its workforce more productive, the World Bank (WB) said on Friday.
The assessment was released at the launching of the WB's Vietnam Development Report 2014 titled "Skilling up Vietnam: Preparing the workforce for a modern market economy" in Vietnam's capital Hanoi.
Literacy and numeracy among Vietnam's adult workforce is widespread. A more skilled workforce will be key to Vietnam's successful economic transition, said Victoria Kwakwa, World Bank country director for Vietnam.
According to Christian Bodewig, the report's lead author, with the majority of Vietnam's adult workforce being able to read and write, the challenge now is to turn graduates from good readers into critical thinkers and problem-solvers who are well equipped to acquire technical skills through university education, vocational training and their entire working lives.
The WB's report shows that Vietnam's education system has a strong track record in producing foundational reading literacy and numeracy skills

This report addresses relevant issues such as the importance of a skilled workforce, with emphasis on cognitive, behavioral and technical skills, implementing a holistic skills strategy for the country through education and the importance of acquiring new skills in accordance with modern jobs.
