In the Han Dynasty, the national strength was strong, the financial resources were abundant, the royal family lived in luxury, and the wind of reburial prevailed after death. The Han people also inherited the Confucian idea of "valuing jade", thinking that a gentleman is more valuable than jade, and pursuing a gentleman for no reason, jade does not go, so it is not surprising that jade pillows are used for funerals.
In addition, jade was a luxury in the Han Dynasty, and only the royal family and nobles could own it. Buried with jade pillows can not only keep the remains of the tomb owner from rotting, but also show their status and wealth.
