Abstract

In recent years, with the in-depth excavation of archaeology, a large number of murals in Qidan Tomb of Liao Dynasty have been found, which has attracted a very wide range of attention in Archaeology and art circles. Khitan is a nomadic people in the north. Its social system is slave society and the Khitan believes in Shamanism. Therefore, it has its own unique funeral form. Khitan ‘s ancestors once practiced tree burial, without the mature funeral mode of the Han nationality. After the establishment of Khitan Nation, it widely absorbed the funeral culture of Tang and Song dynasties. From the currently discovered Khitan Mural Tombs, we can clearly see its absorption and reference of the murals in the tombs of the Tang and Song dynasties. This paper will take this as the starting point to explore the tomb murals deeply with nomadic characteristics produced by Khitan tomb murals in Liao Dynasty under the influence of funeral culture and tomb murals in Tang and Song dynasties.
