Excuse me, where is the mausoleum of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty?
Maoling is located in Maoling Village, about 9 kilometers northeast of Xingping County, and about 40 kilometers east of Xi. It is the westernmost one of the Han tombs. Therefore, it belongs to Maoming Township, Li Huai County, Western Han Dynasty, hence the name Maoling.
The Western Han Dynasty established a series of feudal systems, including the imperial tomb system. There are uniform and strict regulations on the shape and specifications of the mausoleum. Other emperors' tombs follow this system. The height of the bucket-shaped tomb is about 30 meters, but the Mausoleum is beyond this height, which is the expression of the exuberant personality of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Imperial beauty
Maoling basement is 23 1 m long from east to west, 234m long from north to south, 39.5m long from east to west, 35.5m long from north to south and 46.5m high. There is a rammed wall around the tomb, which is 430 meters long from east to west, 4 14 meters long from north to south and 58 meters wide. There are two doors in the center of the cemetery, which are external. 500 meters northwest of Maoling, there is Li Furen's tomb, which is called "beautiful" in history books. The mound is about 1/2 of Maoling. No wall was found outside the mound, and the middle waist of the mound was folded inward to form a two-story platform. This bucket-shaped mound is called "Moling", which adds a little charm to women.

Hidden treasures in underground palaces
Maoling has rich funerary objects in its history. There are "gold and silver property, birds, animals, fish, turtles, cattle, horses and tigers, and all kinds of things are hidden. After that, the ladies-in-waiting were placed in the garden mausoleum. Well, the jade box, the king's staff, and the 30 volumes of miscellaneous classics that Emperor Wu read before his death were all put into gold boxes and incorporated into the tomb. By the time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was buried, the funerary objects in the tomb had already been filled, and there was no place to put them. Maoling underground palace, together with its precious cultural relics, is an eternal mystery.
