In the past 20 years, great achievements have been made in the archaeological exploration and excavation of the mausoleums of the Han Dynasty, which has basically proved the shape, layout, and evolution of the mausoleums of the Han Dynasty. Based on the published archaeological materials and the research results of many scholars, this paper introduces the archaeological work and research process of the mausoleums of the Han Dynasty, and focuses on the layout and characteristics of the representative mausoleums. The idea of Han Dynasty is to treat the dead as if he were alive. The characteristics of the imperial mausoleums system in the Western Han Dynasty can be summarized as follows: The emperor and queen were buried in the same mausoleum, but in different tombs; double enclosure; in the outer enclosure, the emperor and the queen had their own small enclosure; There were one or two ditches outside the enclosure wall; the covering soil with truncated square cone; the shape of the mausoleum was a "亞" shaped tomb with four entrance passages, of which the East path was the longest and the main path; there was an outer coffin in the tomb, which was usually made of cypress with the timber headed in; the owner of the tomb was dressed in jade burial suit sewn with gold thread; in the enclosure, there were a large number of external burial pits, a number of buildings and burial tombs for concubines, ranging from several to dozens; outside the enclosure, there were a lot of funerary tombs; before Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, a mausoleum feod was set up near the mausoleum. Compared with the Western Han Dynasty, which paid more attention to mausoleum facilities, the Eastern Han Dynasty advocated plain burial, and paid more attention to sacrificial rites. The mausoleum of the Eastern Han Dynasty was much smaller than that of the Western Han Dynasty, and its characteristics are as follows: the emperor and queen were buried in the same grave; one small enclosure; maybe there was one ditch outside the enclosure wall; the covering soil with dome shape; The shape of the tomb was a "甲" shaped tomb with one entrance passage, which was usually to the south of the chamber; brick chambered tombs, with transverse antechamber, longitudinal posterior chamber, or multiple chambers; the owner of the tomb was dressed in jade burial suit sewn with gold thread; there were stone building and building with hanging bells in the enclosure; there was no external burial pit, and the external burial facilities of the Western Han Dynasty were put inside the imperial mausoleum; There were accompanying tombs in the imperial mausoleum.
