The above picture shows a round carved stone sheep of the eastern han dynasty collected by our city's cultural and bo units. It is made of red sand and stone with medium hardness, 49 cm in length, 33 cm in height and 20 cm in width. It weighs 35.36 kg and is well preserved.

At that time, the tomb of the stone sheep unearthed in the eastern han dynasty was named "cliff tomb of the eastern han dynasty with red thread". According to the tomb shape and burial objects, this is a tomb belonging to the middle and late eastern han dynasty nearly 2000 years ago. If you start with the construction of "han 'an county" in the eastern han dynasty in neijiang, this stone sheep should be considered as the first generation of "residents" the same age as our city.

This stone sheep, without any background attached, is processed by a completely independent three-dimensional sculpting technique. The stone sheep is lifelike, with a strong body, a full torso and strong strength.

The han 'an ancestors who created the stone sheep, with their keen observation and exquisite skills, grasped the morphological features and gave prominence to the static state. Chisel marks, orderly distribution, skilled. Can be called the eastern han dynasty stone carving boutique.

Lu xun, who was quite accomplished in collecting and appreciating ancient works, once said, "only stone carvings made by han dynasty (dai) people have a deep and heroic spirit."

Han 'an culture is a local culture. As for the difference between it and bashu culture, bashu culture includes bashu culture and shu culture. We have separated part of bashu culture from our neijiang culture and formed its own characteristics, that is, our han 'an culture, that is, today's daqian culture. Local culture is the basic element and component of Chinese culture. Chinese culture nurtures local culture, and local culture also promotes the development of Chinese national culture.

The reason why neijiang can produce such a giant artist as zhang daqian is inseparable from the long history of neijiang art tradition, and "han 'an culture" is an important root of neijiang culture.

Han 'an county has a history of nearly two thousand years. Our ancestors once created a splendid culture on this land. Some material forms of culture are preserved through burial. Since the reform and opening up, through cultural relic census, archaeological excavations, construction and development activities, a number of cultural relics have been unearthed, including terracotta figures, portrait sarcophagus, portrait inscription and han brick, which have concentrated the essence of the culture of the inner jiang and han dynasties.
