The Shuhui tombs belong to the large-scale Tubo tombs in the early Tang Dynasty, and are the first Tubo tombs discovered in my country. Distributed in four natural villages of Rehui, Zamari, Shaertang, and Xiewai, about 7 kilometers long. From 1982 to 1986, the Qinghai Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology excavated and cleaned up here, most of which have been stolen.

The tombs are all sealed, which are divided into two types: trapezoidal and circular. Cover the rammed earth with rammed earth or piled with gravel, pave salix branches between the rammed layers, and build isosceles trapezoidal stone walls under the rammed earth, with adobe or mud balls on the edge, and paint on the outside With red stone powder. The tomb is made of stone and consists of a tomb passage, a middle room, left and right side rooms and a back room. There are huge sacrificial pits, wooden carts, wooden tablets, glassware and gold and silver utensils in front of the mound. There are more than 130 kinds of Buddha statues, Pegasus and various non-repeating patterns on the silk fabrics, and some cultural relics and patterns have a strong Central Asian style.

There are more than 200 large and small tombs in the Rehui Tombs, one of which is located on a natural hill. The tomb is backed by Rehui Mountain and faces Chahan Usuhe. It is about 30 meters above the ground and looks like a city gate from a distance. Generally majestic. The tomb is 11 meters high, 55 meters long from east to west, and 37 meters wide from north to south. Under the tomb, there are three layers of stone walls rammed with mud and stone, 1 meter high and 3 meters wide. From the top to the bottom of the tomb, there is a layer of piercing wood arranged neatly across the mound at an interval of about 1 meter. There are as many as 9 layers, all of which are cypress wood of average thickness. This kind of construction form and style of the mound is only seen in the previous archaeological excavations in our country. There are burial pits and burial relics in the south of the tomb.

After archaeological excavation, the unearthed cultural relics include leather boots, gold ornaments, wooden bowls, wooden plates, wooden birds and animals, pottery pots, ancient Tibetan wooden tablets, and colorful cypress wood chips. In particular, a batch of colorful silk fabrics were unearthed. The silk is of good quality, with clear patterns and bright colors. It is a rare and rare treasure. Silk varieties include cotton, damask, silk, embroidery and so on. In the pattern, there are rare birds and animals, flowers and trees, chariots and horses, people hunting, images of people from the Western Regions, cotton socks, etc. for me?
