The statue of the Ming Maoling Mausoleum in the Thirteenth Tomb of the Ming Dynasty, titled "Stone Carving of Humane Beasts"

Starting from the two hexagonal stone pillars in the north of the Beiting Pavilion and ending at the Dragon and Phoenix Gate on both sides of the Kilometer Shinto, there are 24 stone beasts and 12 stone figures neatly arranged, with vivid shapes and exquisite carvings, which are deeply loved by tourists. Its large quantity, large size, exquisite carving, and good preservation are rare in ancient Chinese cemeteries. The stone figures are divided into four officials: distinguished officials, civil officials, and military officials, each holding four positions. They were close attendants of the emperor during his lifetime, all standing statues with arched hands and a spear, majestic and devout. The installation of such stone statues in imperial tombs dates back more than two thousand years to the Qin and Han dynasties.
