The Qin tombs at Dianzi are noteworthy in many aspects. For example, the catacombs are in a small number and of a relatively late date; the flexed burials account for the majority and the extended ones appeared in a later time; pottery li tripods with double ears and granary molds characteristic of the “Rong” people were discovered quite often; and pottery ritual vessels are combined in even numbers.
