A lot of researches on terracotta fi gurines have been reported, but terracotta rider fi gurines have been less studied as an independent object. This paper studied terracotta rider fi gurines, and found that this cultural form originated from the Warring States Period, thrived in the Tang Dynasty, and declined gradually after the Yuan Dynasty. The declination of ancient terracotta rider fi gurine culture owes to the changing social environment in different historical periods. Researches on terracotta rider fi gurines explored social customs and conventions behind them, and provided signifi cant theoretical support for protecting the cultural heritage.展开更多
