==Discovery and history== thumb|left|upright|Mural detail of a woman In December 1959, construction workers digging west of Dahuting Village in Mi County (now Xinmi), Henan Province, encountered the southern limits of two subterranean tombs built of stone and brick. The Institute of Cultural Relics of Henan Province excavated the two tombs, designated M1 and M2, from February to December 1961. Subsequent excavations of the area beginning in the autumn of 1977 revealed nine satellite burials surrounding M1 and M2. A report on tombs M1 and M2 was published by Cultural Relics Publishing, Beijing in 1993. The report contains rubbings, line drawings and black and white and color photos keyed to the scale architectural blueprints. Through this combination of media, the correspondence between the decorative programs of the tombs and their built structure is clearly illustrated and contextualized.
