Wangdu Han Tomb

           Baoding, in the past, was a comparatively prosperous region. Wangdu Eastern Han Tomb is located 37 km south of Baoding, in Wangdu County.
           This tomb belongs to Sun Cheng(?-132AD), a marquis of the Eastern Han Dynasty(25AD-220AD).
           This tomb was built along a north-to-south axle, with a remained earth mound of eleven meters high. The tomb is 46.7 meters long , 32,7 meters wide. From the very southern end are the passageway, the tomb gate, the front hall, east and west storerooms, the middle hall, the west and east side-halls, the back hall (the coffin hall), a niche in the northern wall.
          The most magnificent discovery in this tomb is the fresco in the front hall. The fresco was painted on the four walls and the arches of the doors in black, yellow and red colors. 43 centimeters above the ground is a yellow line, below this yellow line, animals and birds were drawn. And above this line, was the painting of different people. Beside each person, words were written, telling his occupation.
           Because this tomb had been robbed in history, not many things were left, except a few potteries, stonewares, and lacquerwares.
