Han Dynasty Grave in Xuzhou (Kings Buried)

Han Dynasty Grave on Mount Gui of Xuzhou

The Chinese people say, "Xi'an represents cultures in Qin Dynasty and Tang Dynasty; Beijing represents cultures in Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty; and Xuzhou represents cultures in Western Han Dynasty and Eastern Han Dynasty". As the famous Chinese city with abundant historical and cultural heritages, Xuzhou boasts the top 3 Han cultural elements: Han Dynasty graves, Han terracotta warriors and horses, and Han portrait rocks. Of these top 3 Han cultural elements, Han graves rank first.

Xuzhou, formerly known as Pengcheng in old times, is the hometown to Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han, and the origin place of Western Han and Eastern Han cultures. During the 400 plus years in these two dynasties, Xuzhou had 13 Kings of Chu and 5 Kings of Pengcheng. And the grave cluster of these 18 kings is called "18 Han Dynasty Graves in Xuzhou".

As a matter of fact, a kingdom called Xiapi was also founded in the territory of Xuzhou in Eastern Han Dynasty. This Xiapi Kingdom had 4 kinship kings. According to Han laws, the kings must be buried in their fief after their death.

In recent years, the archeological workers have been working hard to finalize the investigation and excavation of 8 Chu kings.

Top 10 nude models in China

Image
Nudity in art and nude modeling were introduced into China almost one century ago. When famed Chinese painter Liu Haisu became the first to initiate a figure drawing course at a Shanghai art school in 1917, he immediately triggered public uproar and widespread controversy in regards to nude modeling. Since then, China has become much more open to nude modeling, especially when we think back on the 1928 slashing of a nude model by her father for posing for internationally renowned Chinese photographer Lang Jingshan who took the country's first artistic nude shot . However, even though the Chinese have gotten more at ease with the idea of modeling in the nude since 1928, it still remains quite the controversial career path to take in China. Every time some nude picture appears, the public nudity debate gets stirred up again and sometimes violence may even ensue. Some think that it's shameful and the models just get naked for the so-called sake of art to make easy-money and ...
