It is said that archaeologists have excavated 18 tombs, 8 of which are painted brick mural tombs. At present, Tomb 6 and Tomb 7 are open to the public, and Tomb 5 can be seen in Gansu Provincial Museum.
Here, the painted bricks of tombs are distributed around the tombs, and the painting style is simple and interesting, mostly one brick and one painting, and some of them appear in the form of cartoons with rich content. Although several paintings are simple, many of them reflect deeply and accurately. Every painting is a portrayal of real life at that time. There is a small hole at the top of the middle room with a steel wire hanging on it, which was originally used to hang oil lamps. The grave digger lit an oil lamp in front of the tomb and sealed it with seven layers of bricks. After the oil lamp burns all the oxygen in the tomb, the tomb naturally forms a vacuum state, so that murals and antiquities are not oxidized and well preserved.
Wang Jian's Royal Mausoleum
Yongling Museum is the tomb of Wang Jian, the founding emperor of Shu before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in China. When the Tang Dynasty perished in 907 AD, Wang Jiansui occupied Chengdu as the emperor, with the title of Great Shu, which was called Qian Shu in history. The burial soil of Wang Jian's tomb is round. This is the only tomb built on the ground among the ancient imperial tombs in China so far.

Twenty-four maiko reliefs on the east, south and west sides of the coffin seat, with different postures, are the only complete images of court bands in the Tang Dynasty unearthed in China.
Museum of Nanyue King's Tomb in Western Han Dynasty
The tomb of Nanyue King was discovered in1June, 983. Its owner is Zhao Qian, the second generation king of South Vietnam in the Western Han Dynasty. Although the overall area of the tomb is not large, it is extremely difficult to build and its grade is extremely high. This tomb was built by hollowing out Xianggang Mountain and taking it as the mausoleum. The whole tomb was halfway up the mountain, and it was not discovered until the construction workers leveled the top of the mountain. I wonder if this has prevented the tomb of the king of South Vietnam from being invaded by grave robbers.
Yinshan Yuewangling
Yinshan Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Yun Chang, the father of Gou Jian, the King of Yue. The whole tomb was erected by huge logs, with a wooden coffin made of huge logs in the middle.

In order to prevent moisture, the tomb was covered with 140 bark and covered with a thick layer of charcoal. These are the layers?

Unfortunately, the grave was stolen several times, and Betty Wong Yunchang's body and many funerary objects were looted.
Princess Yongtai's Tomb, Prince Yide's Tomb and Prince Zhang Huai's Tomb.

As members of the royal family, the three were sealed, with a high level of tombs and a large number of funerary objects.
Unfortunately, such a thick tomb attracted the attention of grave robbers. All three tombs were stolen, and a half-stolen hole was left in the tomb of Prince Yide. Although the funerary objects in the tomb have been emptied, the sarcophagus of the owner of the tomb is still parked in the back tomb.

It is divided into two burial chambers, left and right, which are interconnected and have a front chamber and a back chamber. This kind of tomb where husband and wife are completely equal is rare.

Xuzhou Guishan Han Tomb
Guishan Han Tomb is the husband-and-wife burial tomb of Liu Zhu, the sixth generation king of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty, ranking second only to the mausoleum. Digging stones halfway up the mountain to repair the tomb almost hollowed out the whole mountain. The tomb of the king of Chu is in the south, and the tomb of his wife is in the north, which is connected by a pyramid-shaped mound. * * There are 15 graves with matching size and clear priority. Twenty-six stone plugs weighing 6-7 tons were placed in the north-south tunnel, and even a coin could not be inserted in the gap. But unfortunately, even so, the tomb of the king of Chu was stolen.
Interestingly, a life-size shadow is clearly displayed on the north wall of the tomb of the King of Chu. It's wearing Hanfu and Emei Bo Dai. What's its name? King Chu welcomes guests? . What is puzzling is that this phenomenon gradually formed after the tomb was officially opened, but there was no trace of water seepage outside the shadow. This phenomenon has not been solved so far.
