These royal tombs provide a unique window onto the life of the Han royal courts. Unlike earlier dynasties, whose tombs consisted of large pits, most Han royal burials were cut horizontally into the living rock of the hillside. A shaft-like corridor led to a suite of rooms, presumably reflecting the layout of the deceased’s palace, which was to be his residence in the afterlife.

The tomb would be provided with all the luxuries of court life: furniture, kitchen utensils, tools and weapons, ritual equipment, jewelry, foodstuffs, toilets and other appurtenances of royalty, including their unfortunate concubines, cooks, and servants, who were sacrificed to serve their master in the hereafter. Jade was also put on the tomb.
