Twelve Metal Colossi : ウィキペディア英語版 | Twelve Metal Colossi
12 Jin Ren (Chinese:十二金人) were twelve huge bronze Colossi made by the order of Shihuangdi, the first Emperor of China. During the Qin's wars of unification, Shihuangdi defeated the six major states of China: the Han, the Zhao, the Yan, the Wei, the Chu and the Qi. After the wars, he collected the weapons of the conquered states and had them cast into statues.〔收天下兵,聚之咸阳,销以为钟镣,金人十二,各重千石,置廷宫中.Records of the Grand Historian (rendering: collect the weapons of tianxia, to amass them to Xianyang, melt them to cast 12 colossus, each weighs thousand Dan (mass unit), and put them in the palace)〕 ==Fate== Dong Zhuo, in his efforts to finance a personal castle in Mei County near Chang'an, melted bells and bronze statues, among which were nine of the Colossi,〔(西汉五铢 )〕 and recast them into coins. This influx of bronze coins flooded the market and caused a serious inflation, rendering the currency useless.
