Features: So far, the excavations of the Shuanglushan Han Tombs have only published the "Brief Report on Excavations" and a few related articles. To avoid affecting the compilation of the official excavation report, this book adopts a principle of detailed and concise introductions for the artifacts and phenomena unearthed from the Han tombs. For the published artifacts and phenomena, it provides as comprehensive and detailed an introduction as possible, based on extensive absorption of relevant research achievements. For the unpublished parts, it mainly introduces their basic excavation conditions. The author selects typical excavation cases and collaborates with the excavation leaders, asking them to write excavation records. With their consent, the author strives to include the entire process of excavation at a specific site, as well as materials helpful for understanding the ancient context, such as historical background and geographical environment. After a period of effort, the author's wish has finally been realized. Now, the significant excavation records that combine both narrative and emotional depth are presented to the public.
