Among them, it is a common phenomenon to use a wall of a stone chamber as the population of the dead in the tomb of Hengxue and the tomb of Pingkou, but the tomb of Hengxue has a tunnel, while the tomb of Hengxue directly takes the wall as the entrance, and only one tomb is set outside the stone chamber.
A vertical cave tomb is a regular rectangular or square hole dug down from the ground as a tomb. The vertical pointed tombs appeared in the late Paleolithic period and gradually decreased in the late Warring States period. Appeared earlier, the tomb was vertical rectangle or square.
In the Han Dynasty, horizontal caves were widely used as tombs, and tombs were built with bricks and stones, imitating real-life houses in shape.
Through the analysis of the shape of tombs, we can see that these tombs have changed from the symmetrical layout of the central axis to the asymmetrical layout of the sides, and from the characteristics of vertical-hole tombs to complete horizontal holes.
