The underground palace of Maoling is full of many rare treasures. "Han Gong Yuchuan" said: "Han Wudi abandoned the world, and Huo Guang hid more money. Birds, beasts, fish, turtles, cattle, horses, tigers and leopards give birth to birds, and 90 things are hidden. " Yu Shinan Biography of the New Tang Dynasty also said: "Liang Wudi has lived for a long time in these years. Compared with burial, there is nothing in the tomb. "
As can be seen from the above records, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power for a long time and was in the heyday of economic prosperity, there were many funerary objects, besides 190 kinds of funerary objects, there were live cows, horses, tigers, leopards, fish turtles, birds and so on. According to another record, King Kangqu presented the jade box and staff of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and 30 volumes of miscellaneous classics read by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty before his death, which were filled with gold boxes and buried in Yu Ling.
