Sui Tombs

The Sui Tombs are the burial sites of the emperors of the Sui Dynasty, which ruled China from 581 to 618 AD. Located mainly in present-day Jiangsu and Henan provinces, these tombs are known for their unique architectural styles and elaborate decorations. They reflect the dynasty’s significant cultural and political achievements, marking the transition from the fragmented periods of Chinese history to the later Tang Dynasty. The tombs contain valuable artifacts and inscriptions that provide insight into the practices and beliefs of the time, illustrating the importance of ancestral worship in Chinese culture.
