Introduction: Located on a small earthen hill southwest of the Tieshe Reclamation Farm headquarters in Xinjian County. The hill is 30 meters high, stretching 300 meters from north to south and 200 meters from east to west. Nearly a hundred large and small ancient tombs are visibly scattered across the hill, the vast majority of which are Han Dynasty tombs. Around the base of the hill, there are artificially dug trenches resembling a moat. The tombs inside the hill are arranged in four distinct terraced levels, showing clear layering. From the outside to the inside, and from lower to higher ground, the scale of the tombs gradually increases. At the highest point, there are three main tombs, each with a diameter of over 50 meters. The bricks used in the tombs are neatly made with clear patterns. In addition to commonly seen copper wire patterns and geometric designs, many unique motifs are also present. The tomb structures are uniform, indicating that this was a planned, organized, and officially constructed burial site from the same period. It was designated as a cultural heritage site protected by Jiangxi Province in 1987.
