The 4th kind of viewpoint says, facial besmear green, it is the practice that is similar to arms of contemporary special type, facilitate concealment on silvan prairie rise fire, be Qin Chao " sharp-shooter " . This viewpoint does not have apparent flaw however, however, tomb figure of several 1000 military forces, take bow and crossbow chance also had had hundreds of, why this besmears the face only green?
The mystery of this through the ages, can leave later ages to solve only.
