Dragon and Tiger Mountain Hanging Coffins, Ancient Wisdom in Cliffside Burials

The area of Xianshuiyan, Guixi City, Jiangxi Province
4.5

Introduction

A unique burial custom in ancient China was suspended coffins, which were already distributed in many southern regions including Taiwan, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, Sichuan and other provinces and regions, as well as Southeast Asia and the southern Pacific islands. Due to its extremely ancient history, and being placed on a sheer cliff, it is difficult to obtain relevant information, so the placement of many suspended coffins remains a mystery. Some famous suspended coffin sites include the Dragon and Tiger Mountain in Jiangxi, the Little Three Gorges in Chongqing, and the Book and Sword Gorge in the Three Gorges.
