Han que is a unique architectural facility in ancient China. It is a kind of decorative building in front of palaces, ancestral temples and Mausoleums in Han Dynasty. Each que is composed of main Que and sub que. Generally, there are three parts: que tomb, que body and que top. It is not only an ancient architectural art, but also a special stone carving treasure. It is an important entity to study the history, culture, architecture, sculpture and art of that time.

Overview of cultural relics

In the Han Dynasty, a palace was erected in front of the tomb for officials with an annual salary of more than 2000 stone, which is a symbol of status and status. Therefore, Han que culture is an important part of Han culture. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the city and palace palaces made of wood have disappeared. Only the stone palaces on both sides of the ancestral temples, tombs and Shinto have been partially preserved. Although none of them exist, they have left us precious historical materials. In particular, the Gaoyi Que in Ya'an is the most well preserved and exquisitely sculpted precious cultural relic of Han Dynasty in China. It has a high historical and cultural value. Famous architect Liang Sicheng, historian Fan Wenlan and aesthetician Wang Chaowen have highly appraised and affirmed Gaoyi que from their own academic research perspective.

Gao Yi was once the prefect of Yizhou. After his death, he built a palace to show his achievements. Gaoyi que was built in the 14th year of Jian'an (AD 209) of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. The main que is 13 stories, about 6 meters high, 1.6 meters wide and 0.9 meters thick; the sub que is 7 stories, 3.39 meters high, 1.1 meters wide and 0.5 meters thick. The que is made of red sand and quartz. The top of the que imitates the wooden structure of the Han Dynasty, with corner columns and Fangdou. The relief images are rich in imagination and profound in connotation. The que body has three car guides, and the carriage travel maps of wubo, Qiqi and Qili in front of the car. There are five layers on the top. The first layer is embossed with a gourmand and a tie on the north and south sides respectively, and a horn God is carved under the corner big fight. The second layer is embossed with historical stories such as "Emperor Qin of Zhang liangzhui", "snake of Gaozu" and "Guqin of Shikuang", as well as Nine Tailed foxes and three legged birds in myths and legends. In the third layer, there are patterns of human and animal fighting. In the fourth layer, the relief is tilted outward, with "Tianma" and "Shikuang"“ There are 24 Fangtou carved on the four sides of the fifth layer, with the official script inscription "the emperor of Yizhou in the Han Dynasty, the commander of Yinping, the commander of Wuyang, ordered the emperor of Beifu to hold Xiaolian, and the character of gaojun is Guan (Fang), and a Kunpeng carved on the middle ridge.

There are two stone beasts in front of the que, one male and one female, which are called "Tianlu" and "fenxie". They look like lions, not lions, not tigers. They have wings on their shoulders. They hold their heads high, open their mouths, and spit their tongue. They are powerful and vigorous. They are the best stone carvings of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Gaoyi que is the only Han Dynasty burial entity with the most complete preservation of stele, que, tomb, Shinto and stone beast in China. Its body is the most well preserved, exquisitely carved and the most abundant precious historic site in China.
