Question

Nine 1700?year?old brick tombs have been discovered in northwest China's Xinjiang.Experts say that they can provide valuable clues for the research of exchanges between the central Chinese government at that time and faraway Western Regions.

It is the first time ancient tombs with typical characteristics of China's main Han nationality have been found in the Uygur ethnic region(自治區(qū))．

Archaeologists from Beijing，Shanxi and Xinjiang concluded that the tombs were built between the middle and late third century and fourth century.

The tombs were unearthed during the construction of a road earlier this year in Kuqa county,740 km from Xinjiang's capital Urumqi and part of the ancient Qiuci State.Qiuci State，which existed between the second century BC and 860 AD，was one of the 36 states in the Western Regions.

The tombs would help archaeologists with research into the political，economic and cultural exchanges between the Central Plains government and states in the west，and on the cultural influence of the Central Plains on the Western Regions.

Archaeologists from the Xinjiang institute have dug nine tombs since August 22，finding bodies of more than 30 people，some ancient coins and more than 60 pottery(陶器)jars.It is thought there are another three tombs to be dug.

The people buried in the tombs were probably either people from the western regions deeply influenced by the Han culture or the Han residents(居民)in the region.
