Tomb without owner in the Han Dynasty

There is a Han Dynasty tomb in the northern suburbs of Xi'an City. This tomb has always been unknown, and no one has even decided who the owner of this tomb will be. Some people speculated that this was the tomb of the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty, and others speculated that this was the tomb of Wang Mang's uncle, Wang Feng. However, there was no real basis for either guess, so this ancient tomb was named Gaotiezhai Han Tomb based on its geographical location.

Shi's descendants erected this stone tablet in 2006.
