As an unique burial structure from the Eastern Zhou to the Han Dynasty,hollow-brick tombs are mainly distributed in the Central Plains and Guanzhong regions.The hollow-brick tombs in these two regions share many similarities.Previous research has often treated them as a single entity,neglecting their interrelationship and lacking,in particular,a comprehensive understanding of the hollow-brick tombs in the Guanzhong region.This paper categorizes the hollow-brick tombs in the Guanzhong region into five phases based on a systematic study of related archaeological data.It further explores the distribution and cultural origins of these tombs,suggesting that the widespread emergence of hollow-brick tombs in this region may be related to the relocation of people into mausoleum towns.Their development and decline were significantly influenced by the Central Plains region.
