The armor could only be handed out during the war and collected into the national treasury after the war. These military treasures were eventually destroyed and lost during the war between the dynasties, so except for a few surviving artifacts from the late Qing Dynasty that have been preserved as cultural relics, the rest of the dynasties have rarely survived to this day.

For example, the Qin Dynasty, the images of armor portrayed on the terracotta warriors and the stone armor excavated from the…...
