CHINA-JIANGXI-NANCHANG-MARQUIS-MAIN TOMB-PUBLIC-OPENING (CN)

(231215) -- NANCHANG, Dec. 15, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Dec. 15, 2023 shows the site of the main tomb of Liu He, the Marquis of Haihun, in Nanchang, east China's Jiangxi Province. The main tomb of the Marquis of Haihun, the excavation of which was one of the most significant archaeological events in the country in recent years, opened to the public on Friday in east China's Jiangxi Province.

The Western Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-25 A.D.) tomb, located in the provincial capital Nanchang, is one of the few imperial tombs that has not been looted.

The main tomb is around 8 meters deep, 17 meters long and 16 meters wide, and linked by a long path. To protect the site, visitors will observe it from above via a newly-built passageway.

According to the burial practice of the time, which required the dead to be treated as if they were alive, the interior chamber of the tomb was divided into a bedroom on the east side and a living room on the west side, resembling the living environment of the marquis Liu He when he was alive, said Fan Lijun, deputy curator of the Nanchang Relic Museum of Haihunhou State of Han Dynasty.

Visitors can have a look at the layout of the tomb and also see replicas of some unearthed items, including Liu's coffin and a dressing mirror painted with the portrait of Confucius.

In addition, naked-eye 3D technology is applied to vividly demonstrate different sections of the tomb as well as its collection of relics. (Xinhua/Wan Xiang)
