Inspired by the Han paintings, the designers adopted the inverted "Shengzi" roof form for the main hall and the auxiliary building of the exhibition building. The roof of the stairwell at both ends of the hall was also designed as a watchtower with full Han flavor. The circular exhibition hall behind the main building also adopted the form of the arch of the main tomb roof of the Han Dynasty.
