Buried with the Western Han Dynasty in the Han Kang Mausoleum

The burial tombs in the Western Han Dynasty are all in the east of the mausoleum, and the burial tomb in Changling is the largest. Among the buried tombs are the famous tombs of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. These tombs, together with those of royalty, stretch for hundreds of miles from east to west, as the ancient poem says: "Changling is high here, Liu An is full of princes" (

Poems of Changling). Changling began to set up Lingyi. After the Han Dynasty made Chang 'an its capital, it moved the most popular and outstanding officials of Qi and Chu to Changling City. Since then, the residences of high-ranking officials and rich people have often been moved to various cities, and powerful rich people have been controlled in Chang 'an to consolidate the rule of the Han Dynasty. In the 4th year of Emperor Yong Guang of the Han and Yuan Dynasties (40 BC), he bought the supernatural. Because of forced migration, people went bankrupt, causing social unrest. Setting up paranormal has no effect on consolidating political power, so it was abandoned in Ling Wei.

Some emperors in the Western Han Dynasty also built their fathers' or mothers' tombs according to the specifications of tombs, or buried them according to the etiquette of emperors and queens, such as the mausoleum of Emperor Tai Shang of the Han Dynasty, the Nanling mausoleum of Empress Bo, the Yunling mausoleum of Mrs. Gou Jian, the tomb of her parents' stone and the tomb of Mrs. Wang. These tombs are either near the mausoleum area of the imperial tomb or in the land of Gyeonggi outside the mausoleum area.

The complex and regular layout of the Mausoleum of the Western Han Dynasty centered on the mausoleum shows the autocratic consciousness and strict hierarchical concept centered on the emperor. The shape of the tombs in Han Dynasty laid the foundation for the mausoleum system of ancient emperors in China, and had a great influence on the mausoleum system of later generations. At present, the buildings and burials in the Mausoleum of the Western Han Dynasty are still unclear because they have not been excavated. In addition, the location and specific number of burial pits in the mausoleum are unknown due to excavation. With the further development of the archaeological work of the Western Han Mausoleum, the whole picture of the Western Han Mausoleum will be more and more clearly displayed in front of us.
