Features: The content of archaeological remains, although very rich and diverse, ancient residential sites and tombs are generally considered as excavation and research objects. Among these two major types of remains, the latter is an idealized and standardized representation of people's concept of the afterlife environment at that time. Therefore, archaeologists can relatively easily understand the historical characteristics of ancient people's productive capacity, social relationships, and ideological forms through the classification of ancient tombs and comparative studies of various specialized contents. As a result, archaeologists have devoted a lot of effort to searching for and excavating ancient tombs, deeply analyzing and studying the various historical information contained in the tomb materials. This book achieves this goal indirectly by understanding the burial customs of the Han Dynasty. It will become one of the essential reference books for Han Dynasty archaeology courses in universities. Through the study of historical records and literature, the author deeply analyzes and studies the various historical information contained in the tomb materials, and elaborates on the historical characteristics of productive capacity, social relationships, and ideological forms of that era.
