The Changling Mausoleum in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, China — the tomb mound of Emperor Gaozu (Liu Bang), the founding emperor of the Han dynasty, who reigned from 202 to 195 BCE after his victory in the civil war that ended the Qin. Original base 154 by 135 metres; original height 32.8 metres. The mound is built of rammed earth in horizontal lifts and is rectangular in plan with a flat truncated summit — establishing the architectural template that subsequent Han imperial tombs would follow for the next four centuries. Adjacent to the main mound is the smaller satellite mound of Empress Lü Zhi, the controversial widow who acted as regent for two boy-emperors after Liu Bang's death. The site is surrounded by approximately 70 documented satellite tombs of Han nobility and high officials, and excavations in the surrounding fields have produced thousands of miniature pottery soldiers and animals — a smaller-scale Han version of the Qin terracotta army tradition.
The first Han imperial pyramid, built for the peasant who became emperor, in a cemetery whose miniature ceramic armies copy the empire he overthrew.
