The book explores the imperial necropolises of ancient China through the lens of Archaeoastronomy, highlighting the connection between celestial phenomena and the architecture of tombs. It delves into the concept of the Mandate of Heaven, where emperors served as intermediaries between sky gods and Earth, influencing tomb designs.
