The tombs are identical in shape. Either has a single chamber and a dome built of livid bricks, and consists of a passage, a gate, a gate wall, a corridor and a chamber. The chamber is decorated with paintings on the inner wall. Among the funeral objects are ceramics and copper coins. The excavation provided new data for studying the tombs of the early Liao period as to their architectural form, the style of their murals and the evolution of their mourning goods.展开更多

Dafangshan in the southwest of Beijing City. They form a vast imperial tomb precinct, which was built for 60 years in the reigns of the Jin rulers Hailongwang, Shizong, Zhangzong, Weishaowang and Xuanzong. In March 2001, the Beijing Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics, in collaboration with the Fangshan District Office for the Preservation of Ancient Monuments, carried Out an all-round exploration on Jiulongshan Hill, the main area of the Jin mausoleum precinct. The work resulted in a rough clarification of the location, form, structure and layout of the underground remains in this area. A number of vestiges have been excavated, and quantities of structural members and funeral objects have been unearthed. Thus the survey and excavation brought to light material data invaluable to the study of Jin mausoleum architecture.展开更多
