1. Cultural relics are priceless: the non-tradability of terracotta warriors and horses
According to the Cultural Relics Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are national first-class cultural relics, and any sale or destruction constitutes a criminal offence. Its historical value far exceeds monetary measurement - as an integral part of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, each figurine is the crystallization of the spirit of craftsmen 2,200 years ago, and its shape, clothing, and weapons all contain important archaeological information.

Then it spun off into multiple topic branches. The following is the topic data of major platforms in the past 10 days:

3. Advanced evolution of public perception

| Legal science period | "This is a national treasure! Trading is illegal" | 35% |
| cultural extension period | "What do the armor patterns of the kneeling archer figurines represent?" | twenty three% |
4. Extended thinking: the legal boundaries of cultural and creative products

5. Deep Enlightenment: The Double-edged Sword of Entertainment Communication
This wave of phenomenal communication not only reflects the public’s closeness to traditional culture, but also exposes the lack of common sense about cultural relics. Experts suggest that entertainment topics should be equipped with a knowledge patch function. For example, Douyin has automatically associated a reminder pop-up window of "Trading of Chinese cultural relics is prohibited" in relevant videos.
The real terracotta warriors and horses are indeed "priceless" - they carry the genetic code of Chinese civilization. When we ask "how much does one cost" in a joking way, it may be the beginning of a new understanding of these silent guardians.
