The cliff tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty
(25-220) constitutes the tomb gate, tomb passageway and coffin chamber, which is
29.93 meters deep with the widest area measuring 10.9 meters and the highest,
2.8 meters.
There are abundant stone carvings in the
tomb. The gate was carved with images of the upturned eaves and tiers of
brackets. The gate lintel displays a pair of engraved goats and three relief
sculptures of human figures. The upturned eaves on the left gate were engraved
with a tiger. The sculpture lines are delicate and of different styles. On the
chamber wall is a relief sculpture of outings with carts and horses, grazing
horses, banquet parties and the story of Jing Ke Attempted to Assassinate
Emperor Qinshihuang, etc. A Buddha was engraved on the pillar in the
passageway -- one of the earliest Buddha sculptures in
China.
