The Terracotta Army was built to protect the tomb of Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China, to boast his power and show loyalty to him after his death.
The Terracotta Army was made in order to help the Emperor of Qin (Qin Shi Huangdi) in 210-209 BC rule in the "afterlife." The warriors were buried with the Emperor of Qin in hopes that in the next life they would be his army. For this reason they are often dubbed "Qin's Army."
Like the Ancient Egyptians, the Emperor Qin believed inanimate objects such as statues of people or animals, or sculptures of food would come alive in the afterlife. The Emperor had the terracotta constructed in the belief that he would be as powerful in the spirit world as he was in the real world.

magnificent army was undefeatable and that the Chinese empire was unconquerable.
Terra Cotta soldiers must have been strategically placed in field army formations, to give the impression of a larger Chinese army to known, and potential enemies.
