What are the characters in Anping Hanwang Tomb?
197 1 year, a large brick tomb was found by villagers in Luzhuang village, Anping County, when they were taking soil from the west of the village. It was cleaned and excavated by the Provincial Institute of Literature and Research that year. Because there are no words and objects describing the owner's identity in the tomb, only the paintings on the wall are clear and exquisite, and there is "Xiping Five Years" written in white powder on the back wall of the tomb (the calendar year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, AD 176), so it was designated as the mural tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was announced as a national cultural relics protection unit by the State Council in 200 1 year. The whole tomb consists of a front room, a middle room, a back room, a back room and rooms on the north and south sides. There are ten rooms and two niches. The entrance of the tomb faces east. The length of the tomb is 22.58 meters from east to west, and the widest point from north to south is 1 1.63 meters. It can be described as grand in scale, complete in function and complicated in shape. According to the funeral custom of "death is like life" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, people's concept of life after death is the same as before. Therefore, it is more noble to analyze the identity and status of the tomb owner at that time from the shape of the tomb.

Murals in the tomb are concentrated in the middle room, the former south room and the south room, reflecting the main scenes of the tomb owner's career and life before his death. The mural in the middle room is divided into four layers with yellow grid lines from top to bottom, which shows the four trips of the tomb owner and symbolizes the four promotions or memorable events of the tomb owner. There are 176 horses, 272 followers and 82 cars in the four trains. In the Han Dynasty, horses were an important part of travel, symbolizing majesty and power. The quantity and quality of horses in travel can show the status of their owners. According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, the official rank should be above 2,000 stones, which was the highest rank among local administrative officials at that time. At present, Anping is striving for "Macheng, China". After thousands of years' accumulation, the grand occasion of horses and chariots in the mural tomb of Lujiazhuang is transforming into a circus of riding and shooting in Ma Benteng. "Born by horses, prospered by horses" may be 1800 years ago.

The indoor murals in the front and south mainly show the scenes of junior officials managing affairs and Wu Bo guards. Indoor murals in the south depict the tomb owner sitting in a tent, with maids, waiters and geisha on the right and an audience with officials on the left. There is an architectural drawing in the northern mural, which is a large aerial view of the courtyard overlapping according to the living room where the tomb owner lived before his death. It consists of a big quadrangle and many small quadrangles. Inside the gate and the middle gate is a courtyard in the shape of "Sun", surrounded by many courtyards on the left, right and back. In a courtyard in the middle of the back row, there is a five-story square cylindrical watchtower with a temple roof, railings around the top floor, a wind flag behind the right side, a wind bird at the top of the pole, an oblate alarm drum in front, and square perforations in the middle three floors of the building. In terms of architectural style, quadrangles became a prominent feature of northern dwellings in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the square and symmetrical architectural concept was fully reflected. Judging from the application of wind-measuring flags and windward birds in the castle, Anping's technology and manufacturing industry were quite developed at that time, which is also a strong evidence that windward birds were used in buildings as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty. Judging from the setting of watchtowers, alarm drums and gun holes, the frequent political turmoil and wars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty can still be seen.

According to the Annals of Anping County, in the first year of Yan Xi (A.D. 158), Anping belonged to Anping Prefecture at the beginning, and later to Boling County, which was the safe city, and the four counties of Anping, Anguo, Nanshenze and Raoyang were unified. The fifth year of Xiping (AD 176) was in this historical period. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, funeral customs, travel etiquette, architectural style and other customs were displayed and witnessed through ancient tomb murals. Because of its unique historical and artistic value, "The Map of the Horse and Wagon in the Mural Tomb" was copied and exhibited by the National Museum.
