The Kucha Wei-Jin Ancient Tomb Museum (Qiūcí Wèijìn gǔmù yízhǐ bówùguǎn 龟兹魏晋古墓遗址博物馆) is an underground tomb museum in Xinjiang. It is built on the original site of the nationally protected Kucha Youyi Road Tomb Cluster (库车友谊路墓群, Kùchē Yǒuyìlù Mùqún) and officially opened on July 15, 2024.[1]
Architectural Layout
[edit]The exhibition area is located approximately 7–8 meters underground. Inside, 15 brick chamber tombs are on display in their original layout, showing clear features such as tomb doors, passageways, burial chambers, and side chambers. The tomb doors are equipped with a spirit screen and feature carved images of traditional Chinese mythological creatures including the Azure Dragon (Qīnglóng 青龙), White Tiger (Báihǔ 白虎), Vermilion Bird (Zhūquè 朱雀,), and Black Tortoise (Xuánwǔ 玄武). In some depictions, the deceased are shown with coins in their mouths or hands, reflecting burial customs from the ancient Central Plains of China.[2]
