Abstract

There is ancestral tomb model in the tomb system of the Tang Dynasty, including Yongkang Tomb, Xingning Tomb, Jianchu Tomb and Qiyun Tomb. The stone carvings are concentrated on both sides of Shinto on the south side of the grave mound, standing opposite each other. The stone carvings from south to north are a pair of stone pillars, a pair of auspicious beasts, 2 pairs of stone horses, 3 pairs of stone people, and a pair of squatting lions. The Yongkang Tomb and the Xingning Tomb were built in the early years of Wude. The content and layout of the stone carvings are a continuation of the tomb stone carvings of the Northern Dynasties. The stone carvings of the Longyao Ancestral Tomb were built between 674 and 677 AD, the layout of which is the same as that of the Yongkang Tomb and Xingning Tomb but different from the Xian Tomb. The horseman and the statue of civilian official appearing in the Longyao Ancestral Tomb may be a new factor due to time.
