Everything in the universe follows the evolution of life from birth to death。The emotions shown by humans when facing death far exceed that of other species。How to overcome the fear of death and successfully reach the other side of the afterlife,Make death no longer scary;How to make a wealthy life last forever,Becoming the ultimate proposition that the ancients have been thinking about。So,The ancestors of China used their expectations for the afterlife in building and decorating tombs。So,Most of the world’s rare treasures are taken to tombs。In order to continue living in this world,Murals have become the best way to satisfy the illusory life,So I indulged in a life of hunting during my lifetime、The four gods of illusory celestial phenomena were decorated in the tombs with vivid images by painters。Tomb murals, a method of continuing real life in the form of images, were quickly recognized by the Khitan nobles,Tomb murals began to become popular in the bet365 score grasslands。It’s just that the murals in the Liao Khitan tombs reflect the pommel horse safari that is closely related to their grassland life、Daily life after traveling,It is the continuation of grassland cultural life with distinctive characteristics。
