The Hanging Coffin

Famous Hanging Coffin Sites : While hanging coffins can be found in many places in China, the strange thing is all of them only existed for a certain period in history. Those in Wuyi Mountain are the first appear in China, as early as in the Zhou Dynasty (1027-777BC) while those in Gongxian County of Southwest china's Sichuan province are the most recent, which also marked the end of the hanging coffin custom.
