Mawangdui Western Han Tombs (Mawangdui)
Located in Dongtundu, the eastern suburb, about four kilometers away from the city center.
This tomb is the family cemetery of Hou Licang, the prime minister of Changsha in the early Western Han Dynasty. From 1972 to 1974, three tombs were excavated successively, numbered 1, No.2 and No.3. Tomb No.1 is the wife's tomb of Empress Yan Li Cang, Tomb No.2 is the tomb of Empress Yan Li Cang, and Tomb No.3 is the son's tomb of Empress Yan Li Cang, among which Tomb No.1 and No.3 are well preserved. The mausoleum is very rigorous in structure and grand in scale. More than 3,000 precious cultural relics were unearthed from the three tombs, among which the most sensational was the female corpse of the Western Han Dynasty unearthed from Tomb No.1, which lasted more than 2 100 years. The appearance is complete, the whole body is moist, the lines of fingers and toes are clear, the soft tissue is flexible, and the limbs can move, which is a miracle in the anti-corrosion field. The coffin of Order No.1 is composed of 70 fir boards, weighing about 1500 kg, with a solid structure, flat, square and straight. There are four layers of coffins in the coffin, and all sides are filled with funerary objects. Among them, a plain sand Zen dress, as light as smoke and as thin as cicada's wings, is1.28m long and1.9m long, and weighs only 49g ... The Topographic Map of Southern Changsha unearthed from Tomb No.2 is the earliest existing large-scale map. There are 28 kinds of silk scripts unearthed in Tomb No.3, with more than1.20,000 words. These silk books are of great value to the study of ancient books. There is also a painted silk painting on the inner coffin, which is an unprecedented masterpiece of ancient silk painting.
Now, the No.1 and No.2 tombs have been closed, and the No.3 tomb pit has remained its original appearance, and the roof has been built for people to visit. All the cultural relics unearthed from Mawangdui are displayed in Hunan Provincial Museum.
