Features: This is an illustrated popular archaeology reader. It takes us into the underground palace of Li Xian, the Crown Prince and Prince of Kangxi of the Tang Dynasty, allowing readers to experience a close-up "harem romance" with "three thousand concubines" and rediscover the splendor of the Tang Dynasty. Through the archaeological excavation and data collection of Prince Kangxi's tomb, we have gained a deeper understanding of the court structure, social system characteristics, noble life, funeral rituals, foreign trade exchanges, painting skills, fashion trends, and makeup styles of the prosperous Tang period. This opens a new window for us to understand Tang society and the lives of the Tang people.
