Painters in the Han Dynasty have extraordinary artistic imagination. Their composition is not limited by the external environment, and they put the contents of different time and space in the same picture.

Stone reliefs in the Han Dynasty, with realistic methods, reproduce all aspects of social life in the Han Dynasty and show people's attachment to real life. At the same time, romanticism created the imaginary world of ghosts and gods at that time, which reflected people's pursuit of death. There are many textile scenes depicting "women's weaving" at that time in the Han Dynasty stone reliefs of Tianyi in the Silk Kingdom and Cai Huahua in Hanfu. Dressing is a symbol of status, and dressing appropriately is a necessary accomplishment for nobles. The prominent features of the clothing system in Han Dynasty are high crown, wide belt and deep clothes. These images can be seen everywhere on stone reliefs. The costumes of officials in the Han Dynasty are colorful, which is the so-called "Zhang Fu" system. Grow crops and eat the sky. People in the Han Dynasty paid special attention to eating and eating etiquette culture. A large number of images in Xuzhou Han Dynasty stone reliefs show people's food culture at that time. In ancient times, people often set the kitchen in the east of the main hall, so it was also called "East Kitchen". Cao Zhi's poem "On Disaster" said: "The days are short, and there is more than enough fun. It is to set up a jade bottle to run an eastern kitchen." For example, a large number of existing Han Dynasty architectural sites in palace buildings are mostly stone structures such as Han Que and Ancestral Hall. However, the architectural image information in this period is very rich, and a large number of Han dynasty portrait bricks, stone reliefs and funerary wares have made concrete supplements to the image of real buildings, indoor layout and the layout of buildings. The common music and dance performances in Xuzhou stone reliefs include long-sleeved dancing, architectural inspiration, Nuo dancing and so on. , as well as large square performances and acrobatic programs. The main means of transportation in the Han Dynasty are chariots and horses, which are the most popular subjects in Han paintings. Based on the image data of Xuzhou stone chariot and horse travel map, we can see the chariot and horse system and welcoming etiquette in Han Dynasty. The most common game content in China stone reliefs is Liu Bo. Liubo has a long history. In Xu Shen's Shuowen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "The ancients wrote Cao Wuzhi's blog." "Shiben Zuopian" also said that "Cao Wu is a blogger". Cao Wu was a courtier of Xia Jie more than 3500 years ago. Bo Xi rolls dice for two people to increase the count. There are many portraits of love between men and women in China stone reliefs. Like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. In many love portraits, there are some scenes that directly show the love between men and women by realistic methods, such as kissing pictures of men and women and coitus pictures of men and women. Historical Stories, Suppressing Evil and Promoting Good There are many historical stories in Xuzhou Han Dynasty stone reliefs, whose themes and contents are based on profound stories recorded in historical books, creating realistic pictures. This part of the content, carefully selected materials, in order to tell the history, explain feudal ethics, and theocracy, including Confucius seeing Laozi, Confucius asking teachers, Confucius disciples, Duke Zhou assisting in becoming a king, killing three scholars with two peaches, and Qin Shihuang taking a tripod in Surabaya, etc. Most of these paintings depict ancestral temples, which means "evil is a warning to the world and good is a sign of the future". Buddhists' reverence for Buddhism in the early days of its initial spread was symbolized by symbols representing Buddhism (such as the tree of knowledge). Therefore, when Buddhism was introduced to China in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people only used the contents of Buddhist scriptures to show their respect for the Buddha. Xuzhou Han Dynasty stone reliefs reflect the contents of shooting competition and Greek competition. From the ninth year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (33 years) to the first year of Yan Xi (158 years), the Eastern Han Dynasty waged a long-term large-scale national war with the Xiongnu. Stone reliefs in the Han Dynasty recorded this important historical event. Weird, there are myths and legends of Dong and the Queen Mother; Three-legged bird, nine-headed beast; Kunlun wonderland, rare birds and animals, etc. As the burial place of the dead, Qian Qiu Underground Tomb was regarded as the residence of the underworld in ancient times and was highly valued. In the Han dynasty, when powerful families were born, they enjoyed themselves and devoted themselves to it. After death, thick burial is respected, and the atmosphere of tomb decoration is prevalent. According to local natural conditions, different materials were selected and different styles of tombs were built. Coupled with the worship of ghosts and gods, I have a strong superstition about good names, and I love to carve things I admire and admire in the paintings in the tomb. At the same time, there are abundant limestone and bluestone near Xuzhou, which provides a source of stone for building stone tombs. Therefore, there are many Han stone ancestral halls and tombs popular in Xuzhou area. There are many Han steles in Xuzhou, which can be found in historical books or stone carvings, among which eleven kinds of stele names can be tested. Most of the Han steles handed down underground in Xuzhou have been lost. A number of inscriptions on Han stone reliefs found in Xuzhou, about 20 square meters, are partly carved on portrait stones, which are called inscriptions; Some are carved directly on the stone, called stone carving. On the stone reliefs of the Han Dynasty, what is carved next to the artifacts is called "list title", and what is carved outside the picture is called "inscription", which includes date, owner's name, identity, life story, construction cost and so on.
