These people wore heads, round-necked robes, high boots, and different colors. Everyone held a musical instrument in their hands, including gongs, drums, waist drums, gongs, flutes, gongs, clapping boards, and the scene was spectacular. This mural was adopted by the national history textbooks of middle school students. The astronomical map drawn on the top of Zhang Shiqing's tomb is another major discovery in the archaeological world after the tomb map of Han Dynasty and the Tianxiang map of Northern Wei. It is an astronomical map of the Chinese traditional 28-suji star method and the western Babylonian zodiac star method blended together.

Ask Mr. whether to return, the hut wants moss. Poor is the alley, Daze Dingxuan Qing Temple, I mean two leisurely. Sending words outside the snow stream, don't be surprised. ―――― "Water Tiao Songtou Nine Days Drunk" Song Fangyue Xuanhua Liao Tomb is located in Bali Village, Hezi Countryside, 4 kilometers northwest of Xuanhua, the ancient city.

For tourists who like archaeology, Xuanhua Liao Tomb is worth a visit. The most famous is the Zodiac Twelve Palace sky map of the dome of the tomb room of the No. 1 tomb, which occupies an important position in the history of astronomy in China. It is very novel to see the concept of twelve constellations introduced from the West in ancient China 1,000 years ago. Gemini, Cancer, Scorpio, these names we know are represented in murals by picture images. I am Taurus, but unfortunately in Taurus position is a steal hole! This tomb was stolen early, but still many artifacts have been unearthed. The 50 yuan ticket is a bit more expensive. After all, it is just a squire's tomb, which is not as good as the king's tomb, but it is understandable for the purpose of protecting the murals. Because the murals in the tomb are original, no special measures are used, and there are inevitably adverse effects for more people to visit.

In Xiabali Village between Zhangjiakou and Xuanhua, pay attention to the signs on the side of the road. Follow the road signs for a mile. From the gate of the false cover, you can watch the whole view of the tomb for free. If you look at the mural in the tomb, it costs 50 yuan to see your own preferences.

Very shocking ancient site, not many tourists, just come once is enough
