Tu Cheng-sheng, director of the National Palace Museum, stated after visiting the exhibit that most of our knowledge concerning the Qin dynasty comes from official dynastic histories authored during the Han period. These later authors generally had a jaundiced view of the Qin, and tended to focus on the ruthless, autocratic rule of Qin Shi Huang while paying less attention to the positive achievements of Qin culture, or the beauty of Qin handicrafts.
國立故宮博物院院長杜正勝在觀展之後表示，今天我們認識的秦朝，大多是透過漢代人記述的史書，難免有偏向暴政描述的偏見，而忽略了秦代文化的正面貢獻與工藝之美。
