Two Mausoleums of the Southern Tang Dynasty
Two Mausoleums of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Archaeological mausoleums in Niushou Mountains, China
The Qinling and Shunling mausoleums stand 50 meters apart on Mount Zutang, featuring underground chambers decorated with paintings and architectural elements.
The mausoleums, built during the Five Dynasties period between 937-975, belong to Southern Tang emperors Li Bian and Li Jing with their excavation completed in 1951.
The underground palace chambers contain intricate paintings of flowers, cloud patterns, and celestial maps created with natural pigments including azurite, malachite, and cinnabar.
The archaeological site lies 22 kilometers from Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, with the Qinling mausoleum mound rising five meters high and spanning 30 meters in diameter.
Archaeologists discovered 600 cultural artifacts within the chambers, including jade pieces bearing inscriptions detailing Li Bian's life and burial arrangements.
