What are the characteristics of Xixia Mausoleum compared with other cemeteries?

Xixia Mausoleum is large in scale and reasonable in layout. Each mausoleum consists of Quetai, Shen Qiang, North Pavilion, Turret, Moon City, Inner City, Fairy Hall and Lingtai. Xixia Mausoleum Each tomb of Xixia Mausoleum is a complete building complex, covering an area of 6,543,800 square meters, facing south and built on the flat ground. The tall Quetai stands at the southernmost tip of the cemetery like a majestic guard. The pavilion is located behind it. There was once a stone tablet carved in Xixia and Chinese to praise the emperor's achievements. Behind the pavilion is the Moon City, and the south wall takes Quemen as the center and enters the Moon City. There are stone statues of civil servants and military commanders here. To the north of Moon City is Ling City. There is a doorway in the center of the holy wall in the south of Lingcheng, through which you can enter Lingcheng. Lingtai is located in the northwest of Lingcheng. It is an octagonal tower building with five, seven and nine floors respectively. The external eaves are made of brick, which is a brick-wood tile structure. Lingtai is the main building of the cemetery. In the traditional cemetery architecture in ancient China, the mausoleum platform is generally a mound, which plays a role in sealing the soil and is located above the tomb. The Xixia Mausoleum was built at the north of the mausoleum 10 meter, and it has no function of sealing the soil. Its shape is octagonal seven-level, five-level and nine-level towers with a slightly higher bottom. It is a tower-shaped mausoleum, which is made of rammed earth, solid bricks and wood. The layout style of Xixia tombs not only absorbed the advantages of tombs since Qin and Han dynasties, especially since Tang and Song dynasties, but also was influenced by Buddhist architecture and combined with Tangut culture.
