Whose tomb is the Han tomb?
The Han Tomb is the tomb of Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It is the largest mausoleum in the Han Dynasty, with the longest construction time and the richest funerary objects. It is called the "Pyramid of China". In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (BC 139), the Han Empire recruited tens of thousands of craftsmen and corvees and began to build Maoling in Maoxiang, Li Huai County (now Xingping City, Shaanxi Province), which lasted for 53 years.
Maoling is located in the northeast of Xingping City, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, and there is a "Wuling Plain" stretching for hundreds of miles from east to west. Xingping 12km in the west and Xianyang 15km in the east. It is far from Jiuyi Mountain in the north and Zhong Nanshan in the south. Maoling was built in the second year of Jianyuan (139 BC) to the second year of Houyuan (087 BC), which lasted for 53 years. Buried graves include Li Furen, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Huo Guang and Jin Ridi.
