The imperial tombs in Qin and Han Dynasties, represented by the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, were mostly covered with hats. The characteristic of this period was to build luxurious rooms and pile up tall surrounding soil. After the Han Dynasty, the feudal society in China lasted for more than two thousand years. Due to the relative development of feudal hereditary political system, the culture of imperial tombs has been flourishing. The tombs of emperors in the Han Dynasty were usually sealed with earth. In the Tang Dynasty, the tombs in the Tang Dynasty were typical in Zhaoling, Li Shimin, and represented by Wu Zetian and Li Zhi Ganling. Most of the royal tombs in this period were built halfway up the mountain to seal the hills. During the Five Dynasties, the Ten Kingdoms and the Song Dynasty, due to frequent wars and weak national strength, the tomb rules were relatively reduced; After the death of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, he was buried deep underground, leaving no trace on the surface. After nearly 400 years of low tide, the development of ancient tombs in China began to enter the glorious royal tombs.
Ming and Qing dynasties. Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of Ming Dynasty, carried out a major reform on the mausoleum system of the previous generation: changing the bucket enclosure into a circular treasure dome and increasing memorial facilities; The square courtyard was changed into a multi-level rectangular courtyard, and a brand-new mausoleum system was established. The Qing tombs not only inherited the Ming tombs system, but also further reformed and improved it, thus pushing the construction of ancient tombs in China to the final peak.
