Dragon Veins Lost 1995

1. Central Plains Royal Tomb Belt (Henan, Shaanxi) 2. Jiangnan Mound Tombs (Jiangsu, Zhejiang) 3. Southwest cliff burial system (Sichuan, Guizhou) 4. Northern Liao and Jin tombs (Inner Mongolia, Liaoning) 5. Tombs of Hu people in the Western Regions (Xinjiang, Gansu) This work does not glorify tomb robbing, nor simply condemn it, but attempts to understand the complex choices of people in that gray area. When the flashlight illuminates the murals from thousands of years ago, when the fingerprints brush off the soil on the bronze vessels, and when the shovel touches the unknown soil layer - at that moment, is it greed, curiosity, awe, or some more complex connection? The answer lies in these tens of millions of words of searching.
