Archaeologists discovered Jinyuan and Ming and Qing tombs in Sixi Village, Yangqu County, Taiyuan City. 16 pieces, providing material materials for the study of funeral beliefs during the Jin, Yuan and Ming and Qing Dynasties in northern Taiyuan.
The nine tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are simple in shape, and the combination of small porcelain pots and talisman tiles unearthed is a distinctive burial custom in Taiyuan during the same period.
The three Jin and Yuan tombs are all octagonal tombs, and they are mainly double burials.
The tombs are all facing south and arranged in the shape of "pin". Experts speculate that they are family tombs.
The north, northeast, northwest, and west walls of M3 tomb chamber are all landscape paintings, the southeast and southwest walls are mullioned windows, and the east wall is a picture of wine preparation.
