History of Han tombs in Tianshan Mountains
From May 65438 to May 0979, Nanjing Museum was the main site, and Yangzhou Museum, Gaoyou Museum and History Department of Nanjing University participated in the excavation. It took two years to excavate the No.1 and No.2 Han Tombs. Both tombs belong to a large vertical cave in a rock pit and a wooden tomb with an inclined tomb type of "Yellow Intestine Mystery". In the early years, it was stolen, the second tomb was burned, and the structure of the first tomb was basically well preserved. 972 specimens of cultural relics were unearthed. According to the research and judgment of cultural relics specimens, it should be the tombs of Guangling Wang and Liu Xu in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty. Compared with more than ten tombs of the same type unearthed in China, the wooden coffin with "yellow intestine puzzle" unearthed this time is a rare masterpiece with large materials, fine production, rigorous structure and good preservation. The whole wooden coffin is 16.65 meters long from north to south, 14.28 meters wide from east to west and 4.5 meters high, covering an area of 237 square meters and using 540 cubic meters of nanmu. Most of the components are lacquered books with names and directions or engraved with the words "Guangling ship's official board is two feet wide" and "medical worker". The lacquerware and wood carving (carbonization) in the unearthed funerary objects are exquisitely made, especially the lacquered couch and complete sets of bathing utensils (pots, stools, spoons, lamps, etc. ) is rare in archaeological discoveries in the Han Dynasty. After the completion of the excavation of the Han Tomb in Tianshan Mountain, all the components were moved to the east of Xiangbi Bridge in the northeast suburb of Yangzhou City for restoration and display, and the Yangzhou Han Tomb Museum (now renamed as Yangzhou Han Guangling Wang Tomb Museum) was established.

The No.1 and No.2 Han tombs unearthed are all vertical holes and vertical pits. -There are ten pieces on Tomb No.200, with a circumference of 200 meters and a height of 3 meters. The tomb pit is a man-made rock pit. The pit mouth is 28 meters long from north to south, 23 meters long from east to west, and the pit depth is 18 meters, reaching 60 meters. Nearly 20,000 cubic meters of rocks have been dug in graves and tombs, and 25,000 cubic meters of soil have been filled and sealed. Its huge engineering and labor consumption are really rare. The wooden coffin structure, the main building of the funeral, is a "yellow intestine puzzle" made by the high-rise building in Rem, Jin Sinan. The whole tomb covers an area of 22 1 m2 and uses 545 cubic meters of wood. It looks like an underground palace, with large scale, magnificent momentum, exquisite structure, solemn shape and pure wood structure. Although two tombs were stolen, nearly a thousand pieces of jade, silver, bronze, iron, lacquer, pottery, wooden figurines, opera figurines, silk and cars were unearthed.
