Ancient Tombs of Xin’an

  Ancient Tombs of Xin’an

  Located along an approximately 8-kilometer stretch from Datian Village to Shuishan Village in Baisha Township, about 60 kilometers from the county seat. The tombs are distributed on the terraces along the western bank of the Liujiang River, roughly 50 to 100 meters from the riverbank, locally known as the “Ninety-Nine Mounds.” They are designated as a key cultural relic protection unit of the county. The tomb cluster includes both earthen pit graves and brick-chambered tombs, with mound coverings 1.5 to 2 meters high and diameters of 10 to 15 meters. These are small- to medium-sized tombs. In 1983, archaeological excavations revealed that the bricks of the brick-chambered tombs were bluish-gray, with clear fabric textures on the surface and geometric patterns decorating the sides. Artifacts unearthed include iron lamps, bronze bowls, pottery jars, pottery houses, and talc human masks. Among them, the talc human masks are exquisitely carved, with smooth lines and vivid forms, making them rare finds in Guangxi.
