What are the main features of Han tombs?

Han tombs inherited the practice of piling mounds on tombs after the Warring States period, and built walls around the mounds, with rammed earth as the boundary. Set up tombstones, ancestral halls and tombs in front of the tomb, and build Shinto in front of the tomb. On both sides of Shinto, there are vertical carved stone statues of people and animals.

In many large masonry tombs, painted murals are also popular for decoration, called mural tombs. Carving various portraits on the walls of stone tombs is called stone relief tombs. Another kind of brick with portrait is embedded in the brick room tomb, which is called portrait brick tomb.

In the early Western Han Dynasty, pit tombs, soil cave tomb tombs, hollow brick tombs and wooden tombs were popular, and one person was buried. In the late Western Han Dynasty, stone tombs, brick tombs and mural tombs appeared, and joint burial of husband and wife became popular. Regardless of single burial or joint burial, the deceased was buried on his back with his limbs straight.
