Painted wooden coffin tombs refer to vertical shaft wooden coffin tombs with carved and painted images on the partition or ceiling of the tomb chamber.They are mainly found in Yangzhou and surrounding areas,with image themes including jade disc patterns,celestial maps,architecture,figures,and historical stories.The period when painted wooden coffin tombs were popular coincided with the transition of tomb burial forms from vertical shaft tombs to chamber tombs.Including door and window structures and image themes in these tombs reflects an intention to mimic above-ground architecture,representing a special attempt during the transition of tomb burial forms.The origins of painted wooden coffin tombs in the Yangzhou region mainly stem from stone coffin tombs with curved images in the southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu regions.The spread to the vicinity of Yangzhou may have been due to cultural transmission caused by local officials in the Huaisi regions taking up positions in distant areas as required.
