The concept and consciousness of the Song Mausoleums are different from the mausoleums of the Han and Tang Dynasties: the latter either occupy a commanding height or face a water and lean against a mountain, while the former face Songshan Mountain with the Luohe River running through the back part.
The mausoleums are low-lying, which is against the tradition of ancient architecture that the building is heightened step by step, and the principal building is set on the supreme position.
In the center of the mausoleum is the mausoleum stage, which is built with rammed earth, and in the shape of overturned dou (a kind of measuring instrument).
