Many visitors have asked if there are any females among the figurines. The answer is no, because in ancient times no woman could serve in the army. But why the terracotta warriors display such handsome hairstyles, many visitors have also queried. The fact is that Qin warriors' hairstyles were part of their attire in those days. Hairstyles in ancient times were not only part of people's life but also a reflection of their social status. In the Qin period, eunuchs had to have their eyebrows pulled off, prisoners their hair shaved, and minor offenders their temples and beards plucked out. The Qin soldiers were not only able to wear their hair in a bun or coil but also handsome beards. Some of the figurines in the museum wear their hair in a bun on the right side of the head or in a coil at the back or in a bun right on the top with a soft hat. The warriors have bands, ribbons or pins for typing up their hair and the decorations are in the shape of fans, pleats, rolls or splits which seem to be flowing smoothly. The figurines' hairstyles manifest the Qins' attention to their hair in their everyday life. Each figurine can claim to be an exquisite piece of art. Shirac visited the Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors again on November 5, 1991. He wrote in the visitors' book: "My second visit again confirms the terracotta warriors as the eighth wonder in the world's cultural heritage. For its ancient history and culture, Xi'an could well match the four other ancient capitals Athens, Rome, Byzantium and Babylon."
