The Eastern Han tombs consist of two parts:the mausoleum("ling")and the park("yuan").Within the boundary of mausoleum,there are stone halls,bell towers,and screen walls.Outside,there are sleeping halls,convenience halls,park temples,official residences,and enclosed courtyards.Archaeological discoveries of Eastern Han mausoleum sites generally reveal five groups of main architectural ruins.According to historical records and comparing the features of these sites,the east side of the burial mound should contain the stone halls and bell towers,while the south side of the mound is where the tomb screen walls are located.To the northeast of the stone hall are the sleeping and convenience halls,with the enclosed courtyard to the north of these halls.The exact location of the park temple official residences is currently uncertain.The sites of the stone hall,sleeping hall,and convenience hall are somewhat similar to the three groups of frontal palace complexes within the imperial city.The enclosed courtyard served as the residence for the mausoleum's guardians.
